Viper's Dreams

By: Jake Lamar

Narrated by: Leon Nixon

Harlem, 1936. Clyde “The Viper” Morton boards a train from Alabama to Harlem to chase his dreams of being a jazz musician. When his talent fails him, he becomes caught up in the dangerous underbelly of Harlem’s drug trade, leaving him to decide what he's willing to give up and what he wants to fight for.

A heartbreaking and fast-paced story charged with suspense, this stark look at Viper’s Black American experience uses its snappy, provocative narrative voice and endless plot twists to offer up a stunningly original, achingly beautiful listen about one man’s dreams of making it big and finding love in a world that wants to keep him down.
