“How to Hustle and Win is an informative, brilliantly written book for today’s youth. Crafted in no-nonsense fashion, it is easy to follow and features numerous funny stories, biographies, and quizzes, all designed to aid readers in making more out of their lives.
Supreme Understanding has launched a great debut in a series of self-help books with Part One, and one truly hopes that Part Two will be available soon because he surely has much more information to share with his peers, as well as the next generation.”

“How to Hustle and Win speaks to our reality.  It resonates in a way that isn’t preachy or condescending. The jewels in this book come from a man who has seen, heard, and done it all and has now dedicated himself to sharing his experiences so we can elevate ourselves from the oppression we face daily.”

Stic.man, of rap group dead prez, founder of AMMO Magazine
“How to Hustle and Win is a no-nonsense, practical book that is like having a loving but strict parent, a super-honest coach, a street-wise mentor, an honest homey, and a positive, but thugged-out, drill sergeant, all in one.
I absolutely love it for its swagger, depth, originality, ultra-practicality and I personally recommend it to all the homeys out there who feel like the world owes them something...get up, get out and get this book!”

Michael Knight, author of The Five Percenters and Blue Eyed Devil
“How to Hustle and Win is not only inspirational, though it inspires. It’s not only an expression of ideology, though it has an ideological foundation. The word that will keep appearing in reviews is “practical.” Instead of an empty sermon, Supreme Understanding gets into the real details of how this system works and how you can rise above it.”

Dashaun “Jiwe” Morris, O.G. Blood, and author of War of the Bloods in My Veins
“No more hustling for lawyers or bail. With How to Hustle and Win, we are hustling for our futures.”

The “Real” Rick Ross, American Gangster
“Not only is the book inspirational, but it will also enlighten the minds of our trapped and confused youth.”

Jimmy DaSaint, author of Black Scarface
“If this book was written a few years back, there would be less Black people in prison...or a grave.”

Dutch, author of the Dutch trilogy
“Supreme Understanding brings more than a “How To” book. He brings a How It Was, How It Is, and How It Should Be. A must read for anyone that wants better.”
Bruce George, editor of Bandana Republic, cofounder of HBO’s Def Poetry Jam
“How to Hustle and Win is a blueprint for self-determination and survival in an ever-changing and precarious world.”

Diane Dorce’, author of Devil in the Mist
“I have had the pleasure of reading a few chapters in your book, and I became so excited that I felt I had to immediately share it with my son…It’s as if you are speaking directly to him. See, he was involved in the drug game, is on probation now, suspended from school, involved in gang activity...that’s the short of it. I called him from work today and asked what he was doing...He said reading...and then he told me how much he had learned - and this boy don’t read!”

Sean Christian, director of Urban Health Associates
“I’ve been using this book in several ways; one is when I do life-skills/mental health counseling… It’s been very effective in my all-male sessions at youth detention centers.”

David Smith, Omaha, Nebraska
“This is one of the greatest books I've ever read, right after the Autobiography of Malcolm X. I wish I'd had this book years ago. It's deceptively easy to read, but contains a depth of wisdom usually only found in philosophical literature. At the same time, it's jam-packed with practical knowledge…It is immediately relevant to African-American youth, and at the same time is universal in its ethics and outlook, allowing it to be of use to anyone who picks it up, regardless of age, race, or culture. It will tell you, in no uncertain terms, how to turn the negatives of life into an advantage that works for you instead of against you, how to educate yourself, how to be proud of yourself no matter what, and how to survive, succeed, and help others do the same.”
