Nore went to a matinee to see Juice when he was a kid. A crackhead came to Nore with a empty 38 and he just so happen to have bullets. 2Pac character Bishop really had an impact on him. At 14 he see went to Spofford for letting off 6 shots at a gas station and shooting a dude twice. He had to go down to the hospital to get identified by the guy he shot. The state picked up his case and he copped at 3 and half. He ended going to the Island because the dude he shot ended up dying and they connected it to him because it happened in his hood. It was difficult for his mom coming to visit him and the crazy thing is his dad always knew Nore would be into the streets.

 When he was at L.A.’s Powerhouse he got approached by Big U just to let him know his presence was back on the streets. He was dealing with a girl from his family members side and that’s where their friendship started. This is when he first got introduced to Nipsey Hussle and fell in love with his music. Every label turned him down because of his gang affiliation. Steve still had the passion to work with Nipsey because he believed in him.  He sacrificed finding love and spending time with his family to build is successful empire. Steve says he always keeps it real if you can do something for you he will if he can’t he won’t and he’ll let you know straight up. He only gets involved with things that he believes in. Pistol Pete gives Steve all his flowers because he help change Pete’s life for the better. 

 99% of the rappers are fake acting like gang members and wearing fake jewelry. Steve walks his own path and never allows anybody to get in his way. After being in the industry for 30 years he had never met Scott Storch. Steve started a podcast and starting interviewing all the music artists by pulling up on them. He ends up getting to do an interview with Scott through Raul from Terror Squad. The interview was soo good that Scott wanted Steve to manage him. He had the respect to call Scott’s old manager to let him know and dude ends up hanging up on him. The first year was horrible and nobody wanted to work him because he burnt a lot of bridges. He ends up meeting Wack100 and getting Game to do a record with Jeremih. 2nd year in, nobody still wants to work with Scott. He ends up doing records with A Boogie, Don Q and PNB Rock and gets plaques. The big moment was with Roddy Ricch and next thing you know he started banging out a bunch of hit records and now Scott is back in the game! They even opened a treatment center together. What a redemption!

Steve Lobel, the plug, access, the connect, the middleman from Queens. His dad and Russell Simmons were his mentor. From selling papers to bussing tables, Steve was a hustler early on. When he was 13, an unmarked car put him in handcuffs for armed robbery. He ended up in Spofford in the Bronx. He went to court, got out and ended being looked at as a disgrace to his family. People didn’t realize he got arrested for something he didn’t do. When he went to trail, the kid said he didn’t do it but the kid's father made him say he did it. It was a false arrest and he ended up suing the police and getting a settlement.

 He grew with all different races and cultures in his neighborhood and school. He was addicted to sugar so he could never sit in school, so his focus was just to continue to be a waiter and stack his money. The crazy thing is he ended up getting arrested again for an addiction for shop lifting. This was his first time in a holding cell and it scared him. Because he didn’t have a criminal past the case got settled. At the same time he grew up with Run DMC so he would go on tour with them. He ended up saving all his money and buying the bar he originally was a bus boy at. He would have soo many celebrities coming to his bar and restaurant. This is when one of his bartenders worked at Relatively and he ended up going to a meeting and meeting with Onyx and Jam Master Jay to see Alan Grunblatt and that’s when he fully got involved into the industry.

 Edi was friends with 2Pac since kids. He ended up pulling the Outlaws in with him. He went to Oakland in 92. Outlaws was about to sign at Interscope but Pac wanted to keep them with him at Death Row. Being a young black male, it’s almost evident to end up in the legal system. Right after Pac died he gotta gun charge in Atlanta. The manager at the Pizza Hut thought they were casing the place but they were waiting for the girls that worked there. Somebody called the cops and they got arrested.  2Pac mom bailed them out. It was a misdemeanor charge because Georgia laws are different. Most of his arrests were minor infractions. The Outlaws decided to go independent after Pac died. It wasn’t easy but they figured out a way to stay solid and stay on the grind. When Pac was locked at Clinton he would go visit him but every time it was a hassle because of the racist town the jail was in. He spent his 21st birthday seeing Pac.

 The son of Legendary NWA founder and businessman Eazy E. He does everything in his power to keep his dad's legacy alive. His dad signed JJ Fad and Bone Thugs N Harmony as well as financed the career of NWA. He lost his dad at 10 years old so at 11 he introduced him self to the streets. He was raised around Compton Crips. He put his self in problems with the street violence and the gang banging. He was brainwashed into the system from sorrow of losing his dad. He never got in trouble with drugs but he carried a gun and that’s where a lot of his issues came about. He wanted to protect his self. So at 16 he got caught with a gun, got some jail time and then at 21 he got caught with another gun. This time he’s in the county. By this time he’s known so he had to sit in a one man cell in PC until he got declassed. His first time he got put in the gang dorm he had to run a few fades because of him reppin' Neighborhood and people wanting to check his paperwork. 

He got roll called and then he got to go home. At 30 years old, he ended up going back for a year for white collar crime but he almost faced 3 years. He grew up feeling he had to go through the system to feel validated for the streets. He fought the case because he knew they wanted some money. He had to plead guilty for a violation. The county was some terrible shit. He saw people get stomped out. Having someone to tell you to bend over and cough is the worst shit he had to do as man in jail. The gang situation is real in jail so you have to rep your set but also stand your ground. That year was interesting because he saw Suge Knight in the same jail. Straight out of Compton was coming out the same day he was getting out. His pops died at 31 and he turned 31 when he was in there. Powerful!

Smoke, who’s from L.A., a friend of Nipsey Hussle and music artist under Big U has always been an outsider, he never felt like he fit in anywhere because he looked Mexican but he is actually half black and half white. Growing up in Crenshaw with a single parent his mom would send him to store with food stamps and he always regretted it. He wanted to pay with cash like everybody else. His mom is black and his dad is white so when he would go spend time with his dad he would bring his homies to go rob the white dudes in his dad's neighborhood. Being on welfare had an effect on him as a kid so this is when he had to take it to the streets to get that money. One time a dude snatched an 8th of weed out of his hand, he called the homies and went to this dude's house and they whopped his ass. He ended up only getting community service for the weed and this inspired him to rob even more but this is when his criminal activity took a turn for the worst. He ended up doing several stints in prison where he would get in several fights but also master a few hustles, all the way until it was time for him to come home.

Growing up in South Central LA with no father around, Baldacci started getting to the streets young and at 13 ended up in the Juvenile System with 3 stolen vehicles in 1 day! He went back for strong arm robbery and after that stint he ended up going back 14. Being a part of the Florence Gang it was rough because nobody liked them. Either way he had to rep for his hood and his family and went back again at 16 and then again 18. Which took him to the State Pen. He ended up getting shot 5 times with an AK which put him in a Coma. A doctor from Brazil saved his life as he was rehabilitating. 7 months later he got caught with a gun while riding in the car with his homey and had to do time for that as well as 6 more years just for his throat tattoo that repped his gang. This was his first time actually going into the prison system with the Big Boys. The Feds! He had been in Riots with just about every race and gang while being locked up and these fights kept getting him even more time. When he finally felt like he had enough of this way of life, he started to get into his music career and work a legit job. This is a serious yard talk. Wow!

Growing up in a Mexican family moving in to Long Beach in the 70’s was a culture shock going into a black hood but they were treated fairly. At 16 she got pregnant, got kicked out so she started hustling during the crack area in California. Her mom eventually helped her get her own apartment. She ended having two more children and was still hustling the whole time. Odd jobs just didn’t make ends meet. Hustling was more exciting. 

In 92 at 22 she ended up catching a case and built a whole new persona in jail. She had to go in there with a tough exterior. Then in 95 while hustling guns and crack, she was in a huge raid and caught her first official prison case. This is when the reality kicked in when she realzied she was being housed with murderers and child molesters. This is when she became Big Sue, did a few more years, started hustling herione in prison but never got caught. After coming home for a little over a year, she went back and forth to prison a few more times after that. This story is soo enlightening for women and there is soo much more to tell.
