Publisher's summary
Life is supposed to be easy and carefree when you are young, but if you live in Washington, DC, that's not always the case.
Flashing back to the 1990s, listeners enter the lives of four black men looking to gain money, power, and respect. These four brothas come from different walks of life, but they have one thing in common: They are trying to make fast money in the harsh inner city. However, when the money comes too easily, there's usually a price attached...the ultimate price.

It’s the summer of 2019, and Professor Pi Suleman is a Black man from Memphis with a lot to endure - not only as a Black man in Trump’s America but in his hard-earned career as an adjunct professor. Pi is constantly forced to bite his tongue in the face of one of his tenured colleague’s prejudices and microaggressions. At the same time, he’s being blackmailed by a powerful professor who threatens to claim he has assaulted her, when in fact the truth is just the opposite, trapping him in a he-said-she-said with a white woman that, in this society, Pi knows he will never win.

His real name was Earl Simmons. As a child, he placed higher on tests than his fellow students and liked to spend mornings with his mother and sisters playing games and making pancakes. But for young Earl - a boy growing up on the streets of Yonkers, New York - that kind of childhood didn’t last long. Beatings, abuse, and neglect very soon had him moving on to other things, like robbing, stealing, drugs, and, eventually, jail. Along the way, however, he found a talent and a passion for rhyme.

Story
When it happened Miguel was sent to Juvi. The judge only gave him a year in a group home - said he had to write in a journal so some counselor could try to figure out how he thinks. The judge had no idea that he'd actually done Miguel a favor. Ever since it happened Miguel’s mom can't even look him in the eye. Any home besides his would be a better place to live. But Miguel didn’t bet on meeting Rondell or Mong or on any of what happened after they broke out. He only thought about Mexico and getting across the border to where he could start over....

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
This story lacked the UMPH that Omar Tyree is famous for. This story did not do it for me.
What was most disappointing about Omar Tyree’s story?
The story-line. 2 hours in & I knew this was going to be a long 12 hours. It just didn't do it for me.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrators?
IDK if a different narrator(s) wouldv'e done it. It just was boring.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Nope

AWFUL!
What disappointed you about Capital City?
There's no real direction.
Any additional comments?
This book is long, boring, drawn out and lacks direction. I'm disappointed because I'm usually a fan of Omar Tyree's books. I couldn't get past the first hour of this 13 hour book.
