In September 2005, I spent 48 hours in Atlantic City trailing twotime “Pimp of the Year” winner Matthew “Knowledge” Thompkins, which, if nothing else, was one of the more intriguing experiences of my photojournalism career. My interview with him and several of his hoes appeared in OZONE’s 3rd annual sex issue. Shortly after, Knowledge (a.k.a. “Brandon”) was arrested along with six of his counterparts in a nationwide FBI sting related to underage prostitution. Now serving a 20 year sentence, the pimp-turned-author shares some snippets from his upcoming book on the business of sex. - Julia Beverly
