Speaker 1

When I wrote, y'all all across the USC Compton Lots Bank to l A from on the California the Valley, we represent that Kelly County. So if you're keeping it reil on your side of your town, you tune into Gangster Chronicles chronic Goals. He gonna tell you how we go. If I line my nose a girl like Pinocchio, We're gonna tell you to choose and nothing but the thanks the chronic goals. This is not your average show. You're now tuned into the rail m c A, Big James

and Bix fails from the streets. Hello, what's happing everybody? It's your man, Big Steel with another episode of the Gangster Chronicles podcast Today. You don't have the homies with me, but I do have a very very special guest at digg in the House for y'all to day, one of the most mythic brothers from New York. You know what, I don't know if I can give him the proper introduction that he needs. Man, do me a favor. Tell

the people where you're from. First of all, I'm from Brooklyn, New York that started the exact Lafayette Gardens projects, better known as LG. Yeah, LG, my name is fruit Pom, also known as dig fruit Fruit. That's what. And there are years right there. Seeing I'm gonna explaining to everybody something. The dynamics on the West Coast and the East Coast is like night and day, not a day. L gez twenty floors right, each building twenty floors? No, we got

seven buildings in the four block raids. Three out of the seven buildings got twenty floors. Okay, that's what I was saying. The other four buildings may have thirteen to fifteen. That's still big though yall was an actual skyscrapers then pretty much. Yeah, but seven buildings is very very small compared to other housing projects throughout New York City. That's what Dog he was telling me. Dog he was saying that,

y'all kind of like the smallest projects. But you gotta understand, on the West Coast, we don't have no stuff like that. Everything is short. Everything is short and kind of spread out like you may see some town houses or something like that. You look like town houses almost right, and they just wind up right next to each other and on top of each other. And I always used to ask, Dog, you say man, New York cats seemed like they move a little different. I understand why now y'all living on

top of each other back in that motherfucker. So you gotta it's pretty much when you do your history, when you go back into African history and things like that and slavery, you know how they stacked us up on the boats on top of each other. That's all it was. They brung their ship to the housing projects and stacked the soul up on top of each other like slave ships.

Exactly exactly, And that's what I saw. Now, you thought the ports man like prior to the crack era, he was, he was running the streets way before the crack era. I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that the crack era came about. It started in the Bronx for sure. And then you're talking early early eighties, man, like eight three, forty five. Maybe I came out of the house in nineteen eighty maybe three. I'm eighty three to Big Sact. I never forget. It was eighty three July, the night

Diana Ross hit Central Park. That's my first day at the house. I watched one of my older cousins get dressed he's about to hit the block. Go take him some money, because that's what he was back then in the early eighties. Uh dudes in Brooklyn, Brownsville and bed styt he was on some snatching diamonds and take them to the scale and you did their money that way. Um. I had an older cousin that was his that was his swag, and I watched him get dressed that day

in nineteen eighty three. He on his way to sent you Park to go take money, and I actually could I go with it, and he told me, you'll take me with him as long as I wasn't scared to take nobody. So I came out the house that day, that historical day, Diana role set that stage and sent you Park and he started raining. I came out the house that day, brother, So that's three snatching pockets off, And that's what I wanted to get into because that was a big thing, and that was a big thing

for y'all back then. Pretty much tearing somebody's pockets off, going to somebody's pockets. Okay, Now, when I came out the house with that, that's what it was. Digging your hand in somebody's pockets, snatching money and run. But prior to me coming out of the house, the older generations before me, what they used to do was called joscelyn. It's just a different name of pickpocket. Okay, So the older generation, that's what they used to do, the Joscelyn,

which is called pickpocket. By the time I came out the house a few years later, dudes got tired of the hustle and bustle that comes with pickpocket. They just started snatching the whole pockets off. Man. And it's almost like a universal appeal right there. So you know you'll got all this going on, man, and you got your first being in eighty seven, Yes, sir, Halloween eighty seven,

I was thirteen years old. Now you're thirteen years old, man, and you're going to pretty much with juvenile jail, right right right. Can you speak on what it was that you did to put you in that position? Okay? In New York City when I when I came out of the house in the early eighties, I don't know what it was about, but every Halloween, I can't compare it to the l A Rice. Don't get it twisted, but just imagine the l A rants on a minor scale.

This is every Halloween in Brooklyn, New York. Wow, every Halloween in Brooklyn, New York, two hundred to three hundred dudes from every house and projects just get together and run rampant in New York City, throwing cocktail bombs, busting jury store windows, running up and store snatching clothes, throwing eggs like that's what they did on Halloween in the eighties in Brooklyn. Why, I have no idea, and I was just running them up with everybody else. So on

Halloween eighties seven, that's what was going on. And I dug a pocket and the police was a block away on a steakout. Oh man. So as we're running wow, doing what we're doing, the police got us in eyesight, and I guess when I made my move, they jumped out and began to chase us. And I had nowhere to go. I had nowhere to go, So you just gave it up. Now, how was you feeling? She was thirteen years old, He was a little kid man at

the time. I was trying to get away. But when they caught me, you know, that's when that thirteen year old child, kicking, crying like a baby, snocked bubbling in my nose. Please don't take me to jail. I'm sorry, I get the money back. I tried all that. Ain't

none of that work. They processed me. Let me know, my grandmother was not taking me home, and I was going to sprofit which was the Juvenile Potential Center in New York City then, and going there, I cried on that whole drive to the Bronx from Brooklyn, New York, snoped, bubbling in my nose, begging them please to give me another chance. I'll never do it again. Ain't none of that work, None of that work? How long did you wind up doing? Uh? I ended up getting an eighteen

months sentence in family court October eighty seven. I ended up coming home. Maybe I had an eighteen months sentence, I might have did fourteen months out of it. So I think about a year and some change out of that. At the juvenile facility called Berthshire Farms up state in New York. And it's a real famous place because it was a private facility. It wasn't a state owned facility. It was privately owned, and the majority of the children there were sent there by their parents and families. You

know what they got. And a thing called pens petition. When your family can't control you, you want to send them away. The courts sent the majority of those kids there. Me being so young, they gave me a chance to come to that facility as opposed to go into one of those rougher juvenile facilities that I could have landed it. Okay, So pretty much they're like, what was the experience like in there, because you said that was kind of like

the lightweight spot right. Uh, where I did my jewel now bid was very much like, very very very much like it was a blessing as a It was more of a blessing than a punishment. That this was a non secure facility where guys, you had the opportunity to earn, the opportunity to go home every month. Uh. You participated in local high school sports. So when I shook up the basketball court, I was in the dealer, I was

in the local newspapers. I was I was being scouted by high schools and even junior colleges that were locally. That's not the treatment of a of a child in the JUPI now facility, Oh no, not at all. You're actually giving the kid a chance to actually still have a future, right, that's what they was giving me. But I was too young to recognize that this was a facility where we would go to lunch and Mike Typson movie standing in the mess all because the staff members

was his homeboys. Like this was a lesson as opposed to uh discipline, and I didn't recognize that. Then. Now you know what and what usually happens fruit and those type of facilities, people usually learn how to become better criminals. Yes, and that's what I did. I hate to admit it because, like I said, you was able to earn a home visit every month, and I didn't earn them all, but the ones I did earn. The bus was dropping me off.

I was coming from upstate New York on the Grayhound and the bus would drop me off in forty second Street, part authority. Forty second Street is what midtown Manhattan. So I'm actually getting off the bus coming from the Jufer Now facility, running into my homeboys in Midtown digging pockets. I'm actually digging the pocket before I get home and tell my grandmother I made it home. That's crazy, man. So you still you still pretty much? So let me ask you this now about the facility you're being in

being like you said, it was a blessing. But do you think if you'd win somewhere a little bit more harsh, that you probably wouldn't have been acting when you got back home. No, I think I would just still came home and act up because I went I went away at a time where it wasn't no O G s pulling the shorties up. Lenderstand, I'm saying it was the shortest raising the shorties, and it was hold your own, do what you gotta do. So it wasn't no Gee's

pulling us up. In my generation. Now, me being O G knowing I got a bunch of little dudes in my hood that respect me and looked up to me. I'm trying to change that site because they didn't do that with us. They didn't do that, man, And that's important too, bro New York City. In New York City, the o gs just coming home from doing a little one of the threes to the Falls, and we thought

that ship was cool. Now we're coming home from doing twenty five and thirty and we're telling these shorties, now, that's not what's uck. We when we was growing up. Yeah, let me ask you this fruit. How much time did you actually wind up doing on that little stretch. O're not talking to juveniles, you're talking to stretch. I didn't with the department. Yeah, I'm talking to juvenile. We're gonna go get to that. Okay, did juveniles? Man? I did

that first one party fourteen months I came back. I did. I did total with three of them. I ain't learned. Tween the age of thirteen. I spent my sixteenth birthday at one of those places. So between the age of thirteen and sixteen, I didn't total of three of those damn juvenal pays. One of them was for fourteen months and the other two was for six months apiece, for six months a piece, so and that was before my

sixteenth pirth day. So I would I would be remissed to say that you probably didn't get to go back to that nice facility that she went to the first time. Absolutely not, And I wish I did, and I wish I did, because no, I'm lying to you, I didn't because the other facilities. By the time I started going to the second and third facility, that ship was a kid walked for me, you know what I mean. So it was that's why I was coming home in six months.

The sittence was longer, but I was doing them since and six months because I was thirsty to get back to the speech and do same ship I was doing. So I knew how to get in and out, but I knew how to play the game. Now let's get back to that. Man. Hold on, because this this is an important part right here. So when you get out of jail, like when you get doing your juven all time, I don't know if I can call the jail still l You don't have your freedom, but you come home, man,

you're back in the f G right. You know you're hitting your pockets and everything when the cracks start popping up. Okay, Now, I came home from what juvenile big in nineteen ninety, and I was messing with my men, big nut rest in peace, nothings nothing. Let me let you every figure out of Lofeed guards in Brooklyn and New York City. I was messing with my man nothing. We go back

to juvenile history, thinking practice and all that. But in nineteen ninety I came home from a juvenile thing and I was messing with him, and I saw him change on me. He was like yo, I'm not digging the more fucking practice no more. And he became a hustler and the drug dealer, you know what I'm saying. So around the year nineteen crack was heavy to the point where everybody wanted to be drug dealers. And with that drug sheet in New York City came gun violence and beef.

And that's where my projects went wrong. We only got seven builders, bro, who were gonna turn against each other. So all those childhood friends and that's who breveried each other, child with friends. At the end of the day, it's all because of the crack game. Because before we started indulging in crack and we were just doing the digging poppets and the petty Brodery's, everybody loved each other. We competed because you know, friendly competition, but it was love crack.

That ship did a number throughout the country, I'm quite sure. Yeah, yeah, on the West Coast, Midwest, everywhere within the the story was. The story was the same everywhere you had lifelong friends to go together. I'm talking about people from the same lot start gelling each other, bro. Yeah, Now I said it on one of his record he was referring to rap when he said best friends become strangers. But that's what happened in the crack game too. Best friends became

strange point when they would take each other live. Wow, man, and you was running with some pretty pivotal people. I've noticed. It's it's a few people that's really important to your story. There's a lot more, but it's too In particular, World and Wise, worldand Wise, my childhood friends, Wise rest in peace. Wise is the only person I've ever known as a big brother, even though he wasn't my biological brother. That was World's big brother. Now growing up in Lafia, Guards,

we grew up in the same building. Like we're saying, box, Me and World used to play with g I, Joe's and Smurfs Like that's how That's what we did. And Wise, my Rime which was his real name, was his big brother. So he can't have a finger on his little brother without acknowledging me and I don't have a big brother. So he raised both of us. The World was younger than me, you know what I mean. World was younger

than plus. I was a little I was a little off the rocket, you know, I was a little badass kids. So what I did and Wise foul amusing or somewhat cool. He didn't like for world to do don't do what I did. Although I was his friend, why I would let me get away with ship. And not to interrupt you, but I want to put this in context for the people out there. But you know, first of all, you're my you're good friends with my partner. Doggy Diamond shot

out the Doggy Diamond another child friend. He go back. Yeah, he was telling me when y'all was kids, man, and she was the size of a grown man. Okay, now let me tell you. I put that first juvenile fig October thirty, first Halloween seven. I was five to a hundred and twenty five. I hate my puberty, spoke in

those fifteen months. I came home fifteen months later, fourteen years old, about six ft a hundred and ninety five pounds at fourteen, so I had my brokes first day and it was like that from them, I was I was over. I was two h pounds since the age of fourteen, age of fourteen, so in the weight pound. So he was getting your swoll long yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I don't want to take you back. I want to go back to Wise in the world because you told me man that um not you told me personally, but I heard that Wise held down the lgs by himself for a long time. Okay, you know everybody had their little run selling crack when everybody started to try to do it. Everybody had their run. But it was one year in particular nine where Wise held that down by myself. And at that time it was some it

was some heavy hit thats coming through my hood. You know, you got some American's moves wanted cast like the light out of Brooklyn, New York. He had the major bet for Killebn Mkillerbin and for like both rest in Peace U for like is coming through my hood. You had a t rock Man he rest in Peace team out t Rocks Hamo brother, you know his room with that. Hamo was the one that tried to put fi sit down.

So these dudes was was gansters and they would come through my privacy at eighty nine And why is he standing through it and the tintoes down holding that down by herself. It wasn't getting no money in there. It was coming through the presence was felt they wanted to But while I was holding that sit down by herself, and they respected that. And we're talking. You said right nine, And just to give you youngsters out there a little context,

the eighties was something else. The eighties was something else, totally different. It was hard to hold something down back then because you're using hold on to it for a while. In the d game, it was always somebody coming absolutely and in Brooklyn, though, Brooklyn is a big barrow man it. Brooklyn was so big they had to make queens. That's real talk. Brooklyn was so broke big they had to cut a piece of it and make queens. Brooklyn is a big bro And you know what I'm saying, Brooklyn

grew up on robbing and stealing, backstabbing. So crack didn't help me. Crack did not help And so you're mixing the dude name Hardy. Back then you said he's the one that tried to lay fifty sit down. That's it's rumor. It's rumor that one trying to allegedly. Yeah, it's room that that's what fifty said. You know what I'm saying, this room with that Harmo spooth to be the one that tried to put him down, and t Rock was almost older brother. So this is the dude coming through

my privacy. He now with his gun on his hip. But Wise was standing in the middle of the projects holding that down man by himself. He had dudes around them, but they was not shooters. They ain't had no guns on their hips or no bests on their back. Wise was like that for Dolo. I've watched that. I've watched my big brother do that. He did his thing and he held it down absolutely. Now you know you're you're

mixing a few raps. You know, we're mixing fifty sim when she's from Queens and Queen's Cat rightly, man, y'all got some legendary mcs over there. You know. For as rappers, you've got Biggie Smalls, you got the whole Junior Manfia faction. Yeah, man, you know, shout out to Queen's Bridge, Shout out the fifty You do his thing. When it comes to that music ship, Uh, you know what I'm saying, left rack Nor.

You know, all the Queens is big, but when it comes to hip hop, we only got seven buildings, bro, and so we got Queen's Bridge is huge, I mean huge. So it's it's no surprise all the rappers came out of it. I got seven buildings. Bro, we gave you d J. Mr C. We gave you Big Daddy came. Mr C gave you Biggie. Mrs you know what I'm saying, Junior Mafia and Kim all that. You know what I'm saying, easy mob, we produced all that Tupac ship like that came out of LG. Broye nothing up, another room up.

Oh wow, so one of the most pivotable, one of the most pivotal hip hop records of all time from the Symphony somebody. The rumor is a brother out of LG. Did that did the third that you know they ran with that ship that Molly Maul was But let's get that brother's life.

What's his name? His name is shim Shaw. Shim Shaw. Letend wi shim Shaw. And that's the rumor. That's what I got. I'm gonna repeated. I'm saying, you don't know that claiming credit for no stuff. You ain't making issue, you know what I'm saying. I heard shim Shaw made that more fun. Beat were breaking news on that. So let's go back to it. Man, you had um on all the reference. You new look Kim, right, you new Kim? Yeah, me and now Kim went the school together, junior high school,

a little bit of high school. Doggy diamonds too, is that right, man? Because they you know, actually a lot of people don't know what dogg he was producing stuff a big ye early on. Yeah, dog he grew up with them boys. Man, actually, uh big, he grew up with Doggy. But everything all that junior Marfi shid come up under Doggy. That's something man, dog don't Yeah, dog don't he deserved. That's why I want to put all up with all this out there and let it be known.

Now we're talked about. Man. The eighties right right here, right, you had a bit of a reputation. Let's talk about that. Man. What was you into though? Okay, my reputation came just scrapping man, just being no nonsense and scrapping that kid being a little badass, a little kid willing to fight, never scared the run from a fight. I took a couple of lumps and bruisers. You can't win them all.

But when I went to that first juvenile facility, when I went to Spabor for the first time, I ran into my o G to this day be my o G out of East New Yorker's name is Brandon calling Bridge. Now we was children, and he saw me. Unbeknownst to me, he had knew me from the street. He reminds me of this. I didn't know that. I just thought he took a liking to me. He saw me, I was a scared little kid, and he threw me under this wing. That's what I thought. But unbeknownst to me, he knew

me from the street. That's why he was checking for me. But I didn't know that. But when he checked from me and made sure I was all right, I watched him and this nigga was checking ship like he wasn't playing no games in the juvenile joint, Like he was running down on his beat and ship out of big niggas all that. Like I said, Okay, this is the blueprint, this is what we do. And I kid you not. I followed his blueprint and I always kept more fuckers

and check around me. I ain't played no games because he didn't like this is what he would have done. I followed his blueprint, and that ship went from Juvenam to the Department of Corrections because not only did I following his footsteps and the way I conducted myself, I followed his footsteps to prison. He miss that he went to prison, and he was the same motherfucker like checking ship, holding it down, and I was like, you know what, he put the blueprint down, and I must continue to

conduct myself with these motherfuckers. And that's what it was. When the reputation just grew. Then I had some incidents from racket sound, I handle myself accordingly with the police. That shep grew enhanced the reputation, and I always staid attend those down. And I never had a reputation for being a foul, slimy snake type motherfucker, you know, a disrespectful dude. And I guess people respect me and I

respect others. Yeah, REPUTATIONLF Let's go back to something real quick, right, what did you catch your first major being behind the stretch. The stretch was May I got into an actually didn't shooting where I actually didn't shot a female in my house and projects, and I was convicted of a man slaughter where I was sent this to sixteen to thirty two years and I ended up doing twenty three years out of that bit on some accident ship. Yeah it was an actually didn't shoot him. But it was my

second felony. M So if it would have been my first, I quote I quote a midtown case as a sixteen year old. And then they played, oh take a year, Okay, I could be home in eight months. I jumped on it, but they gave me my first felony. So now when I catched the actually didn't shoot it, They're like, yo, you're a predicate felon. So now instead of me getting eight years, they gave me twelve. And then on top of that, I had the gun yards, they gave me a another three and a half. It made a six

team in New York. Don't play no games and guns though. Not only that, but New York had a good time. They can be a state country like we date to day. We don't get no good time. When I when I went to prison, it was you got twelve years. You're doing twelve years before the broad boarding and consider letting you out. M so crazy. Now let me ask you this, your first bid, where was you at? Where was you at? Again? Man?

My first bid that stretch. I touched every maximum security state new and new, every maximum security silly in New York State prison, every one you see. I don't think these kids understand man, because we're not glorifying this stuff. That's why I really want to have you on here. Man. I don't think these kids out here really understanding men, because I watched every day on mine on the internet threatened people right, all kind of goofy ship man, and

just do all kinds of stupid stuff. Man. They have no idea what they got in store for the stuff. If they continue on, they act antics. Let me tell you this, right, like I said when I was blowing up, we didn't have O g s coming home schooling us. We had O g's coming home with their pants off. They asked, and they do ragging. They by back pocket, talking about they held it down on a one of three or two six. Now you got ogs like me coming home saying yo, bro. They roofed me when I

was sixteen. I gave him thirty years and they're mad that I'm able to come home and talk to you. So now what they're gonna do is they're gonna give you fifty years. So you can't come home and talk to the youth because they planned not they plan didn't work. They tried to break us, they tried to get rid of us, they tried to bury us, and it didn't work. So now they're gonna bury y'all young dudes. Man, it's not now. It's not twenty five life for a body,

it's natural life. Yeah, they're giving you natural Yeah. And you know that the thing that really man pissed me off man about some of the older brothers, Man is dead. We really wining this time that they do man as badge, as of honor. They weren't the time as I don't like that's something that you want to get to. And I've heard young people say that man like man, I just want to go to jail and be an O G.

Now you know what's so O G? O G as a dude who conducted himself like a man to take here of his family, to take here of his loved ones, you know what I'm saying. And if he's an O G in the hood, you gotta get back to the hood. You ain't know O G in your hood. You ain't give it back to your hood. Aw you O G in your hood? You don't care about your hood? Yeah, care about your hood. You uplift your hood, you don't destroy it. That's what we gotta do. You know what

I'm saying. That's what we got to do now, because that's that's that's my message. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you what I've been through. You know what I'm saying, because you can sit in front of the TV and watch Denzel and be entertained. Old thing. So if you want to hear this ship I've been through and be entertained, it's cool. But at the end of the day, I don't want you walking away from me thinking that ship

is cool. I want you to learn from what I've been through, so you ain't gotta go through it like my man Porter, we can Mikey say, you gotta learn what not to do, what not to do exactly. Because the thing is, like I tell everybody, I tell I work with a lot of kids, man, don't you know I don't have youth football programs in the community, man, not like we do a lot of stuff for the community because I believe the kids they got there's a

future right there. If we don't look at them, them gonna be the same little cats f all in through your window. You look out for him and give him some game. Right now, what is it that you have playing? Man? Further to get your message out there many of these kids. Okay, with the kids being at I recently jumped on YouTube with the LG story Me and my man Mike st Last shout out Mikey, my my partner shouting to st

Last giving us that platform on YouTube. Ever since we did this, we've been getting so much positive feedback and love and community. Where see, I did the twenty two years and I didn't return back to my community. You understand I'm saying I had to give myself a chance, which was not returning back to my community and get my life together. Don't get me wrong. I hit the ground running and I made sure I gave back to society. I just didn't get report back to my community. So

you got a lot. I popped up here and there they seeing my face, but a lot of the youth they heard of me, and they don't know me and my man Mikey he'd been off the set for twenty two years, maybe since Nut died. Rest in peace. So they don't know us, and this YouTube ship has introduced them to us. So we got their attention. And while I got their attention, I must give them a message. I got their attention. Bro, it would be a disservice

of me to not do that. So while I got the attention, I want to give them a message so they don't I have to go through with me and Mike. You went through. That's to the youth. And that's what I'm saying because you know, man, I'm very fortunate man that I have never been in the penitentiary. You know, I've been locked up a couple of times for a little stuff, not no longer and during time. But every partner I got man actually dead time. They didn't come

home the same. It was like something missing with him. You see what I'm saying, missing, Like what just like man, you know, like I got one partner that came down. He came on hell of pair of noise. He came over the house. Every time he heard the sound, he was okay over there. You know what I'm saying. So they came home different. You feel what I'm saying. She she prison affect people in different ways, and people do

time different ways. You got a guy could go in prison and he has no support system, so now he's forced to live off the land of prison and sometimes actually don't work for people, you know what I mean. And next thing you know, motherfucker end up taking medication, smoking cigarettes off the floor. Uh, doing a lot of solitary. Can find me that ship getting the best of them. And then what they do, your time's up, They drop you back in the streets. Now you come home, something
