The audiobook website Audible.com says that 'Cary Hite' is the narrator of this audiobook. The author, K'wan, is a former drug dealer and school dropout who unfortunately turned down a lucrative career as an NBA player to go into the drug trade. There, he learned firsthand how to steal and sell drugs while never getting caught, so when he was sentenced to three months in jail for not taking his court-mandated drug rehab program seriously enough, he had some time to reflect on his life choices in prison. As a result of these insights, Street Dreams is an insightful look at street life and the struggles that many people face because of their own mistakes or those around them.
