During the mid 1980’s, Pittsburgh PA, lost half of its population when the Steel industry collapsed. Subsequently, a new industry was born, the drug trade. This trade, unlike its predecessor, would stand the test of time. Many young black men rose to prominence in this industry, but one stood out amongst them.

Welcome to Steel City is a coming of age tale about Jabar Body Jones. The story takes you through his journey as he experiences the trials and tribulations of growing up on the gritty streets of Pittsburgh. Along for the ride is his right-hand man, Psycho , who is known for making reckless decisions. While Body is smart, he finds himself learning hard lessons due to the mistakes of others. Although he is living and thriving in a grown-man’s world, he is just a boy trying to find his way.

While figuring out his place in life, he meets Mila, a beautiful Latina with mutual aspirations. She introduces Body to a deeper side of the game and he becomes more intrigued with her and the life. He garners success that comes with plenty of jealousy and envy, and his ability to recognize his enemies is a matter of life and death. Follow Body on his journey as he Welcomes you to Steel City!
