Thanks for coming out here today. It was good. How you doing today, bro? Shit, chilling, man. Good to be here. Fresh off the plane. Fresh off the plane, man. I love it. Where did you come from? From Atlanta. Atlanta? It's warmer there, right?

Yeah, a little bit. Just a little bit? Just a little bit? Okay. It's got to be better than Connecticut, though. Yeah. I seen the snow out here. I was like, God damn.

Real. Well, I'm glad you got here, and I hope you're enjoying your time in New York. Are you here a couple days? Actually, a turnaround. Like, I'll be going back to night. I'll be heading back tonight. Oh, you fly back tonight?

In and out. Strictly business. Did you grow up in Atlanta? Yeah, my whole life I'm from the north side of Atlanta, like Cal County. Okay. Yeah. What was your upbringing like there?

Who do you grow up with? It was cool. It was cool. I had both parents in my life. Mom and dad, both there married. They still married to this day. Good household. Carp County is like, it's a real mix. You know, you got hoods and then you got a lot of suburbs too. So you can be in a good area and go five, ten minutes down the street and be in the bad area. You know what I'm saying? So that's kind of how it was. What do your parents do for work? My mom was an engineer and my dad was like into science, more like science type stuff. When I was 13, my dad had quit his job and ran for House of Representatives in Nigeria,

because we're Nigerian, my mom and dad. Like, when I was younger, like, I had an immature state of mind. So I kind of, like, rebelled. When my dad left, I rebelled and started, like, getting in the streets and shit, getting in a little trouble and shit. But, like, now that I'm older, that's really my dog. Like, that's my best friend. I understand now, like, damn, this is my best. man gave up his whole life over here and risked it all to go run for House of Representatives

over there in this country, you know what I'm saving folks. So I respect my dad a lot. Did he end up winning? He lost. Oh, okay. He lost. And that's kind of like when stuff started to go down here for me, like more. Because he was staying over there to, you know, get in the mix of politics still.

Like, even though he lost, he had a lot of political friends. He had a lot of, like, power over there. So he was just trying to stay in the mix. And I was over here. I was 13. I was already like, you know, trying to smoke little weed and shit, smoke weed and start hanging with little cliques and shit. Like, I started off, like, I didn't start off like thugging in the streets. I started off as a good kid.

I got in a little trouble in school, but not like crazy shit, you feel me? I was playing sports. I was playing football. I started my whole life, like, offense and defense. I was fine as fuck. Like, I was the truth. I played with a couple folks that's in the NFL now. Like my partner Bradley Chubb, that was my best friend.

He had defensive end on the Miami Dolphins. I went to school with Kenyon Drake running back in the NFL too. A couple more, Brandon Chub, Evan Ingram. They all went to my school too. So I play football. It's just I kind of veered off to the other side. How did you think your mom felt about him going to Nigeria? I mean, my mom, she's so solid.

Like, she respect all my dad's decisions because she know that he got a good heart. She knows, like, whatever he got going on, he's doing it with good intentions. So she was supporting him. She was real supportive. She raised me, my sister, and two of my cousins. And it was us when my dad went to Nigeria. It was all of us growing up in the house. So five of us in the house here.

And she was holding it down. And how do you feel when he left? At first, as a little, you know, as an immature boy, like, I didn't like it. Like, me and my dad used to bump heads all the time. And I don't know if you know about, like, Nigerian parents, they're real strict, like, real strict, especially the dads. Like, they show tough love, you know. So it almost feels like if you don't know, like, it feels like they don't love you. Like my dad, I knew he loved me, but it was sometimes, like, he was so, like, stern and he didn't really laugh and joke like that with me.

Like, we didn't have that cool little father-son connection. Like, it was just always strictly business. Yes, no, like, come here, sit down. So, like, I just, I just, I didn't realize it back then. It really made me want to rebel because we was always arguing, fighting. My dad was beating my ass, whooping me with belts and shit. So he didn't play. He was no nonsense.

type dude, you feel me? So, yeah, like, I kind of, I resented him. I resented him when he did leave. He would always come back, like, every couple months come back and check on us and shit and go back and try to get back in the mix. Like, he left when I was 13, I want to say. I was about to be, like, you know, becoming a young man, you feel him? That's when I really kind of wanted him around me to be cool with me, be my friend.

But he wasn't on that friend's shit. He was on that, I'm your dad and you're gonna do good and da-da-da-da. So when he left, it made me like, oh, damn, he kind of left us. Like, I was looking at it like in an immature way. And it just made me jump in the streets, like, start doing the other shit, trying to get money, hustle, help my folks out and shit, like, be independent. Do you think your dad still would have went if he knew that it would lead you down this path? Hell no.

Because, honestly, it was so many times, like I said, like, I wasn't a perfect kid. Like, I used to get, I still used to get in trouble. So he used to threaten me, like, oh, I'm fin of Senjo as the boarding school, like, in Nigeria. Like, so, like, he always wanted me to straighten my head. He never wanted me to be no bad kid. Dad never did no time. My mom never did no time, you feel me?

So, yeah, I was the first one in my household to ever do time, so. The audience is going to be pissed at you for vaping. Oh, yeah? Yeah, because of the mics. You got to realize that when they hear it, you know?

Okay, cool. Yeah, because the mics are so strong and they pick up everything. For sure. We had this one guy on that, that was vaping during it and they lit them up in the comments. So I don't want them to hate on this episode.

Yeah. You got to get it early, you know. So when was the first? moment that you really, you know, went down a bad path? Honestly, I mean, I started smoking weed when I was 12. I started smoking weed when I was 12 and shit. That was a little petty shit. But then it's like, I used to see you knickers that sold drugs.

So I used to be like, damn, how do you buy the weed and then sell it and make money off of it? So they're like, you got to buy quantity. You know what I'm saying? Once you buy a certain amount of quantity, you can break it down. and sell it for this and you'll make this much profit. So I always been a hustler, like, even in elementary school. I used to sell candy and sell chips and shit like that and just do little shit, like the hustle

and shit. So once I found out about that, that's when I started veering off kind of, you know, selling a weed. Then I ran into some of my own boys and they was already in like little cliques and shit, like it had little cliques beef. So I was always cool with them, but I was never in no beef, but we got so cool that I ended They're always like, damn, we want you with us type shit. So I inherited day beef.

I never had no personal problems with folks out there in the streets like that for real. So I just, like, I was just loyal. I always rolled with my kind. So whatever beef they had, I had it too. So I wasn't like, I wasn't never a bully. Like, when I was young, it just like I just used to ride with my people. Was this gang oriented or just? Yeah, before.

That's why I said like click, more of a clique, because it wasn't a gang. Then, like when we were 13 or 14, it wasn't game and shit. It was just little cliques. Like, oh, he took his girlfriend, so we're going to fight him. Or, oh, he called itself that, but we call ourselves this. So we're going to, you know, a little petty shit, little petty shit. How much you think you were making at that time at 13, 14, 14 years old moving weight? 13, 14, I was moving petty shit.

Like, I was moving real petty shit. Probably like, fucking $3, 400 a week. It's a lot for a 13-year-old. Yeah, for a 13-year-old. Yeah, for sure, for sure. Like, I always had the most money out of all my friends. That was all with me. Did your mom have any idea what you were doing?

She did, but I feel like my mom loved me so much and she know like I got a good ass heart so it was really hard for her to believe it. Like all the signs was there, but she never really wanted to believe that shit because I want to say like ninth grade was my last time going school shopping. Like all the kids, I went to a good school so all the kids tell me like, oh my mom gave me 500 for school shopping, oh my mom gave me 600. And my parents used to do that too. But it's like, I want to say like freshman year, that's when I started like, I went to

started like getting my own school clothes and shit. And there'll be a lot of time my mom would just be like, hey, you want this to eat or you want to go out here and go eat? And I'll tell her, like, I'm good. Like, I always wanted her to save hers, you know what I'm saying? And I would get mine by myself. Do you think you had to become a man early on in life a little too soon because your dad left the house? Yeah, most definitely. Most definitely.

Like, I feel like it would have worked out still if I didn't take that path. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to blame him. but that is what made me want to do it more, like step up and be a man and be more independent. Like, no, ma, like, I got me. Like, just take care everybody else, but I got me. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. So what happens after ninth grade? Do you still stay in school or you drop out? No, I actually stayed in school until I was 17. Yeah, like, I was supposed to be a, it was the first week of senior year. First week of senior year, I had got into hitting licks. like burglaries and shit. So I actually caught my first case, a burglary, some gang charges, gun charge, drug charges

when I was 17, and I bonded out and I tried to go back to school. And they told me, like, you can't come back to school. So I ain't drop out. I got kicked out. You feel? Like, I didn't want to. I wanted to keep going to school. Then I ended up getting sent to our alternative school.

Now I'm at alternative school with the ops. And I don't fuck with these niggas. I'm the only one. And it's like, it's me and one of other my partners, he had the school with me, but it's like, eight of them. So every day we damn there getting into it, one day I just get fed up. I take one of their shit. I take, they hit, they beats headphones or something like that. And it started a commotion.

We about to fight and shit. And it was to the point, like, the teacher was just like, hey, you got to go. You can't go to school here no more. So I got kicked out of high school for the burglary. And I'm like, damn, I want to still get my education. I ain't do nothing wrong at school, you feel? Like, I understand that I fucked up outside, but they wouldn't even let me come back to school because of that. Then I get sent to alternative school, and then I get into it with these dude because they just talking shit every day.

And it just made me just be like, fuck it. And they ended up kicking me out of that, too. So if school was important in your mind, why even commit crime to begin with? Because, like, I was kind of living a double life. Like I said, I was always a good dude. I was never like a bully or just a fucked up attitude, fuck the mean dude. Like, I wanted to get my education, but I was still getting my money in the street. But I always just wanted to get the money.

But you know, there's never just, it's never that. simple. So it led, it started off with me getting the money and then it went to, like, it just kept growing and shit. I got deeper and deeper in the street. What did you want to do career-wise, the good side of you, the one that wanted to go to school and get an education? What were you thinking? Career-wise, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a lawyer. Like, honestly, I wanted to be a football player, NFL player, you know, or a lawyer, because, like, I always hated the police even before I was committing crimes. Like, I just wanted to, I wanted to free people up. Like, I wanted to help people. Like, I had, like, good, oh, what's the word? I don't know. I just felt like my mind

always been different since I was a kid. Like, I was very good with my words, too. So, like, if I'm in a debate with somebody, like, as a kid, I could always get my point across and they'll understand me. So I was like, damn, I want to be a lawyer. I can use this to help people stay out of jail. So now the robberies, the burglaries, how did you get into that? And what was that about? Okay, so, like, the first, like, I told you I was selling weed and shit. Then, like, I was like, okay, this money's cool, but, like I said, it wasn't a lot of money like that. So now I'm like, damn, let me try something else.

So I started skipping school, smoking a lot of weed, just being on some high shit. people would be at school and at work and I'll just be like, damn, a lot of these folks are not home right now. A lot of people are at school and at work, I can go run in their house and go get their shit and I'd have, that I'd add extra money to my weed. So it was a time that, like,

I went out with some friends, and my mom was calling me. She was blowing my phone up, but I was getting high. Like, she ain't like me smoking weed. I'm getting high. I'm ignoring her and shit. I fuck around and come home and, like, one in the morning.

I'm like 17. I come on like one, two in the morning. On a school night. and we got a code on my door to unlock with the bottom lock always stays unlocked. So when I got home, I typed the code in for the top lock, the bottom one was locked. So I'm like, damn, she locked me out. Like, we never locked the bottom lock. So I'm like, damn, she locked me out because I wouldn't answer her.

So I'm calling the calling, she ain't picking up. I'm ringing the doorbell. She ain't coming. My mind as a young, dumb rebel, I'm like, fuck it. My mom just kicked me out. I'm in the street. So I go down the street to some of my home girls' house. They live, they were tenants at somebody's house.

They had a mansion, though. Like, they were a little bit older than me. And they were, like, my sisters and shit. So I used to trap their house out, and I'd go hit my licks and stash all the shit in their house. So it got to a point of time I was getting addicted to that shit. Like, once I seen, like, how the first one went so smooth, I'm like, damn, I want to do this shit every day. I can sell my weed, make some money, go kick a dough, and add it together. You feel what I mean?

And just get rich. Like, I thought I could do that shit forever. So every day it was like I went on a spree. Like every day just, got them just searching for houses. Like, I just go find the house. I used to love to hit the houses with the see-through garages. Like, well, you know, it's like a window in the garage.

I go look in there if there's no cars in there. I'd be like, all right, bet. I'm going to go around back and kick the dough down. So I used to go in houses like, damn there every day, boom, bring it back to the girls' house, put it all. It was to the point that I was hitting so many licks. I had like a stack of shit in their living room like from their whole living room was my shit like laptops, computers, fucking jewelry all type of shit just across.

How are you getting the stuff out? Do you have like bags, pillowcases, and you have like a car? Most of the time I went with somebody else.

Like I probably only went on two leaks, like breaking in the house. I probably only did that like two or three times by myself. The rest of the times I always had somebody with me. So we'll fuck around and have a driver. and then two of us go in the house and we load the car up and we leave. And where do you bring the items to? Are you selling them right away? We would sell them right away sometimes, but most of the times I take it back to the stash house,

recollect, just chill, and then I go take it. I had like a Chinese plug. He bought all the electronics, man. That nigga didn't care if it was locked. He didn't care about shit if it was crack. He was buying everything. So I'm taking laptops, desktops, PSPs, PlayStation, everything to this man. And he cashed me out every time.

I'm young, I'm 17. What was the most valuable thing you got from? a house before? Like a $4,000 watch. Yeah, like a $4,000 watch. That's the most. Like we were really hitting for petty shit, like I said, like game systems, fucking TVs and laptops.

That was the main thing. Electronics is what we would go in there for. But if we found like cash or something, might find like $1,000 in cash. But the most I found when I was that young was probably like a $4,000 watch. You ever feel bad about taking something from, say, a kid? Yeah, but I don't think

Well, yeah, I did take something from kid their game system. But back then, I didn't have a conscience for that. Just being honest, I didn't have a conscience for that. I didn't think about it like that. Why do you think that was, even though your parents raised you well and you knew at some point the difference between right and wrong? I feel like at that point of my life, I was just so far gone with being a rebel, like with my dad being gone, like me being outside, out my house.

Now I'm smoking hell of weed. I'm just living a fast life, so I really didn't have time. to really think, like, damn, is this right or wrong? Like, I'm just going with the flow. And I'm getting deeper and deeper in the streets, like, not realizing that there's some fucked-up shit. Like, I'm really breaking in these folks' house, why they're going, taking all their shit, they're coming back, and their shit's gone.

But I just looked at it like, oh, I can take their shit, and they call the police and the police will replace it. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's how I looked at that shit. I never really thought about it that deep. How do you get caught for it? The last lick I hit, I told you I was doing them every day. So the last lick I hit is so crazy because my home girl, them who I was staying with, she

was with the shit. She was a white girl from Orlando. Like that was my dog, though. Shout out. I can't even say that. But she told me she was always with the shit. Whenever I wake up and I'm ready to go hit a lick, she'd be like, all right, bet, let's go. Let's go.

Like, I'll take you. So it was one day we drove to a neighborhood. I hit a lick. She was like, yeah, I, Ebo, you need to slow down on this shit. Go back to school. Like I said, it was like the first week of high school of senior year. And that whole first and second week, I wasn't going to school. So she's like, all right, you got all this shit in the house.

You got some money. You got your weed. Like, you need to slow down and just go back to school. I was like, all right, just one more. Like, I'm going to just hit one more. And we hit it. Boom, I was good. The next day, some of my partners called me.

And they was like, hey, we want to take this dude down. They told me who it was. And I'm like, hell no, bro. Like, I wasn't really close to him, but I was cool with him. You see what I'm saying? Like, we were all right. You know what I'm saying? So I was into just hitting random houses.

I wouldn't enter that back door and shit. So they was just like, bro, come on, just do it, bro. His dad got hell of guns in the house. Like, if we go in there, we'll be straight. Like, his dad got like 30, 40 guns. They got some money over there. Let's go get it. So I tell them now.

I'm like, no, I'm not doing that. So they end up pulling up on me. They're like, yeah, we're just about to pull up on you real quick before we go do it. You good. They pull up. They're like, damn, bro, so you really ain't going to come? I'm like, hell, no, it's over with. I came outside with my socks.

They pulled in the driveway. I was so sure I wasn't going. I came out, I was with the socks on. And it was like, all right, bro, we're fin to go, bro. It's all good. I'm walking in the house. I'm like, hold on, y'all, hold on. I stopped their car.

I'm like, hold on, bro. I'm coming. Let me get my shoes. I go get my shoes. And she, like, Ebo, like, you said you was done. Like, what you mean? You said the last one that I took you to yesterday. he was going to be done, he was going to go back to school.

I was like, no, man. This is the last one for real. It's crazy because I feel like God punished me for show for this one because even though we weren't really close, the dude was cool. He was a cool dude, but my folks didn't really fuck with him like that. So I get in the car, but when we about to go, we get to the house, he got two big-ass dogs.

So now the dog's barking at the dog. I told you, we used to look up at the garage. He didn't have one of them garages. So we went to the house. the front door, rain the dough bell. If somebody came to the door, we would have played it off, like, oh, we were looking for so-and-so. But nobody came to the door, but they had these two big-ass dogs, and we ain't know that. So now I go back to the car.

We go back to the car. Like, hey, bro, they got dogs in the house. We can't do this because we're going to have to shoot these dogs, and that's going to be too much just for like a burglar. So, I bet. We leave there, and now we go find a random house. We go find a random house in a neighborhood, like, across the street. We pull in the neighborhood.

I'm like, let me have. They let me out. I walked down the street, walk up to the house. I looked through the dough. They didn't have the windows, but they had a side door to their garage as you can see in. So I went to the window. I saw it wasn't no car. I'm like, hey, let's do this house.

They're like, no, come here, come here. They're telling me come to the car. So I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, what's up? They're like, no, bro, let's not, we don't need to do this one. I'm like, what the fuck? Y'all, I can scary and shit. Like, what's up?

Like, nobody home. We need to go do that. Like, let's go now. We already went to the first place. Not my adrenaline rushing. Like, I used to get a rush from this shit. So I'm like, y'all acting scary, like, let's go. They're like, no, it was a truck that just keep following us.

He keeps passing by and shit, like, just looking at us and shit. I'm like, man, y'all are scary as fuck, bro. Let's go then. Y'all don't want to do this house. I'm mad at my partners and shit. But later on down the line, I found out they was right. They knew what they was talking about. So we ended up leaving that house.

We didn't break into it. We go to another neighborhood across the street from this. We find the house. Boom, I kicked the door in. We go in. That's where I found the $4,000 watch, $2,000 watch. I found some money. We found a gun, like a $380, like 3 TVs, some laptops and shit.

So we would have came up with like a little under $10,000 with this one. This was probably one of our biggest ones that we did on some, like, petty young, young niggie shit. As soon as we leave the house, we get all the shit. And we get all the shit. When I said the neighborhoods is across the street, they're literally across the street. So there's a main street. The police officer, it was a police officer that pulled us over.

And the way they said they called us was he was driving up and down that street just for the last 30 minutes because they got a call of suspicious people in the neighborhood from the first house that I tried to hit. And they told me, hey, I think this car is watching us. So that car actually was watching and called the police, reported a suspicious car. Then we, like, just dumb and hot. We're young, black, four deep. We're in the crown. Vic.

It's the hottest car like in America at the time. So the police officers were just riding up and down that street looking for that crime vick with four black dudes in it. As soon as we pull out the neighborhood, he's right there behind us. We wasn't speeding or nothing. It's just he got tipped to us. He pulled us over. The dude who's driving, we about to get pulled over.

I'm like, hey, just bust this corner real quick. And I'm going to hop out and run. He's like, no, don't run. He's older than us. Like, I'm 17 at the time. He's 24 years old. So he's like, don't run. I got this.

I got this. It don't smell like no weed in the car. We ain't been doing it. Like, they ain't see us doing anything crazy. Like, we good. I'm going to talk to him. We're good. So he convinced me not to run.

We talked, he talked to the police. Police tell us immediately, hey, get out the car. All they are. Boom, they get out the car. And the next thing, you know, it's like six, seven police cars, blitz in there. Boom. Undercover cars, all that shit.

They got detectives out there. Boom. So they detaining us right now. Because at the time, they didn't actually know we committed no burglary. They just got a call. it was a suspicious car. So now they got us in cuffs. They're telling us lift the bottom of our shoes.

They're taking pictures of the bottom of our shoes, like for the footprints and shit. So it's like they was assuming, but they were right. You feel it? Because nobody actually called yet and said, hey, my houses got broken into. It was just that first neighborhood we were in, called and said it was a suspicious car. So they're searching the car. They see the TVs. They see the laptops.

They see all this shit. But it's no confirmed burglary. They take all the pictures of it. but they still couldn't take us to jail, so they took us to the precinct. We're just sitting there for hours. Detectives coming in there trying to question us one by one. Everybody keep it solid except one motherfucker. So one of them, a detective come in there.

He's like, hey, Ebo, what's up, Ebo? But that's not my government name, you know? So when he called me that, I'm like, what the hell? So he's like, yeah, I'm going to tell you how I know about that in a second. He's like, yeah, I know about that horseshoe on your arm, that horseshoe on your arm. I was like, how you know I was a Colts fan? So I'm trying to throw him off because, like, my neighborhood is horseshoe bin.

That's the Rico that we got charged with for my neighborhood. Like, it's 23 years from my neighborhood that got charged. So I got the horseshoe tattered on my arm, and he knew about the horseshoe. He knew my nickname. So I'm like, damn, this motherfucker knows me already. So he questioned all us. Everybody do good. The oldest dude, the one that told me not to run, he's the only motherfucker that say,

oh, I told him he come back. in the room, like, I'm like, what you tell them? Because we all, every time somebody would come back in and be like, what you tell him? I ain't say nothing. I told him I don't want to talk. I ain't say nothing. Like all three of us.

The fourth dude, he's the oldest dude. He'd him been in the streets longer than all us. He'd go in there and tell him, he come back like, oh, I told him that was Ibo Auntie House and we were just helping her move that stuff ain't stolen. I'm like, what the fuck, daw, though? You basically telling on me. Like, you telling them that I'm the one got y'all over here getting my auntie stuff. And when they find that it's not my auntie stuff, it looked like I'm the, you know what I'm saying?

Like the ringleader of this shit. So what the fuck, bro? I'm telling him, like, bro, you're dressing this on me. Br, you basically told him. He threw me under the bus. Like, why did you say my name and say that it's my auntie house and we're doing this because of me? So he's like, no, I'm just throwing them off. I'm just throwing them off all this little shit, man.

I'm like, you bitch-ass, nigger. So, boom. Like another hour passed by. We all just sitting in there. Next thing you know, they're coming there like, yep, we got you. They got them walking there. They got a call saying that the dude was missing this, this, this, everything they found on us. Basically, I guess he got out work finally and called.

Like, hey, my husband, broken into. And they got us in the precinct already, so they went ahead and took us to jail. How do you get the name Ebo? What does that mean? Oh, my last name is Ebo Dagi. Like I said, I'm Nigerian. You know what I mean? My dad is Ishaan.

My mom is Yuraba. So I got my tribal last name. So, like, since I was young, my teachers, my coaches, they can never pronounce. my last name, so it just went to Ebo. So I've been Ebo since I was like 12 years old. Okay. And then, but the Sosa part? What does that mean?

Ebo Sosa is like, oh, like, we just watch Tony Montana all the time. And, you know, you had Tony Montana, then you got Alejandro Sosa. And Alejandro Sosa was Tony Montana's big homie. So watching that show, like, I used to say, I used to role play and do their little accents and shit and I call myself Sosa. Then Chief Keekeek came out too. And, you know, he's Chief Kee Sosa. And I was like my favorite rapper back then.

too, so I'm like, oh yeah, I'm sticking with this. So I was Ebo Sosa. So that RICO case you were talking about, that doesn't come to later on. Yeah, that doesn't come to later, so. So they didn't know you were like a criminal enterprise yet or anything, these cops. Not yet. Like, they just charged me with gang charges because they knew we had that little click. For the robbery was getting charges?

Yeah. But they let you back out because you said you went, you transferred to an alternative school. Yeah, like they let me bond out. I went to alternative school, got kicked out. But when I went back to court for the burglary and the gang charges and shit, I actually freed one of my co-defendants up because he was already on probation for a burglary and they wanted him.

They wanted him so bad that you know how I told you they had the detectives come and take pictures of the bottom of our shoe. I kicked that door. I can say that now because, you know, I already did my time for it. But I kicked that door. They said he kicked the door.

They wanted him so bad, they're like, oh, he got a prior burglary. He's the one that kicked the dough. So in the court, they're showing the footprint of my shoe but they're matching it the forensics up to the door they're matching it to his shoe

so I'm like damn they want him bad as fuck but I got a fresh slate you know what I'm saying I ain't had no charge this is my first charge and he already on probation for a felony

on a burglar so I just go in there like I told my parents don't even walk in the courtroom because I'm like I already know what I'm gonna do but I'm gonna take the charge for him so I tell them like

they like so what do you know about this da-da-da-da-da-da I just told him I was like I did it it. You know what I'm saying? I'm the one that did it. He didn't do it. Like, it was like, oh, but he was on the scene. We caught him in the car with you. Right after y'all did it, he was with you in the car. I was just like, shit, he didn't know nothing about that. Like, he, like the other dude told, so I went ahead and used the dude that told on me already. Like, he told y'all, I told him that it was my aunt's house. He never went inside. He don't know nothing about it. I'm the one that went inside and told him that I was moving my aunt shit, but I was really robbing the house. So I went ahead and took the blame so he could stay out. But that shit still didn't even work. They sent me and him to like a juvenile prison. It's called Albuhras in Georgia.

It's like for juvenile prison. It's like three prisons and one. You got juvenile prison. You got the regular prison general population. Then you got prison boot camp. So when I went back to court after getting kicked out of alternative school, they ended up sending me to the prison boot camp. So prison is bad, but boot camp is crazy.

Like, they're trying to break you for real. Like, and it's a young nigga prison. Like, everybody in their young. So it's like wild, crazy young niggas in there. And they, and they're drilling it. Like, these folks telling us we can't order no commissary, like, food-wise. All we can order is hygiene. And the only thing edible on the store is coffee drops.

Then Friday through Sunday, they only feed us twice. They feed us six in the morning and, like, 1 p.m. After that, you don't eat. Like, all Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, it's called starvation weekend. So they're real, they're trying to break us. Then they got us doing PT. like working out and shit like we end up fucking army. Wake us up at 4 in the morning, 5 in the morning sometimes, work out.

We go eat breakfast, boom. And then we go to lunch, boom, they work out again, and it's over with for the day. So they're working the shit out of us. They're not feeding us like that. Like, they were really trying to break the motherfucker. And then every time like that you were getting trouble, they're threatening you like, oh, because they, the program, the prison boot camp program was like three months. It was a 90-day program.

But they're always threatening you. Like, if you're getting trouble down here, we're going to send you over here to the other side of the prison, and you'll have to do the five years or the 10 years that your sentence really, that your charge is really hold because we're sparing you right now. So at least try and hold that over our head. So I went there for three months. Then I had gotten some shit down there too,

and they ended up adding like an extra 30 days or something. So I did like 120. I did four months. How much did your charge you originally carry? 20 years, burglary. 20 years, and they let you just do the boot camp? Yeah, because I was on, I don't know if y'all got that out here, but in Georgia you got something called First Defenders.

They have something like that. So when it's your first charge, they give you a slap on the wrist and like basically like hold the probation over your head. So with that, I did a month in the county. Then I did the four months in the boot camp and they gave me five years probation, first offenders. So if I would have completed the five years of probation, they would have took the felonies off my record. But of course, I didn't fucking last five years. So why didn't this boot camp deter you? You know, you're a young kid.

You just get your ass kicked in boot camp. You know, why don't you come out and say, I'm never getting into trouble again? I ain't gonna lie. At that point in time, I was just living reckless. Like, I felt like I couldn't be fucked with. I had like the girls, I had all the girls I wanted. I was getting money. Like, a lot of people my age wasn't getting no money.

You know what I'm saying? They were all buying drugs for me and shit. So I just was like, all right, they just gave me slap on the wrist. Like, fuck that shit. I'm gonna come home and go harder and get some more money. Like, that was just a little slap on the wrist. Like, you know, some people really need a real wake-up call. Like, because if you give somebody too many slaps on the wrist,

they feel like that's the worst that can happen. They don't see that it could get really bad. And I had to learn that later on when they sent me to real.

From 17 years old to 20. I got locked up like nine. I want to say like eight, nine times or something like that. Some years I get locked up two, Like when I was 17, I got locked up twice. When I was 18, I got locked up three times. When I was 19, I got locked up three times. When I was 20, I got locked up once.

So I was like, I did like, I got locked up like 10 times within the span of three years. Like, so it was always free me. Like, everybody was always saying free ebo, free ebo, like every year. And I always used to get out. Like, I got locked up, I got locked up all them times. And I think the most I did was four months. So I always used to look at it just like, all right, I sit down. for a little bit, but I'm going to come home and I'm still be turned up, you know?

So I really didn't process, like, how I'm letting my life go down here. Because after they build up so much shit on you, they're going to try to railroad you after a while, you know, throw the book at you, hide you and shit. Why were you going to jail each time? Just a little different shit. Like, I think the first time I got locked up was the burglar in the gang charges, pistol weed. Then I got locked up for a violation of probation, smoking weed.

So after I did that, I was like, I'm not smoking no weed no more. Like, me sitting in here, it's not worth me getting high for fucking 30 minutes. Like, it's not that serious. I quit smoking weed when I was like 18. I got locked up again for a gun charge. I got locked up for a weed charge. I got locked up for being around my co-defendants. Like, it's crazy.

Me and one of my co-defendants. No, not my co-defendant. He was just another felon, but it was my homeboy. He just so happened to be pulling up and buying some weed from me. and we have the same PO. So my fucking PO pull up to my house to come check on me and he pulling out my driveway. And she's like, what you doing here?

Y'all are both felons on probation? Y'all not supposed to be around each other. So I'm like, God damn. But she played cool. Like, it's all good. You know what I'm saying? Just pissing this cup. And I told you, I quit smoking weed by then.

So I peed in the cup. I passed. I'm thinking I'm good. I get pulled over one day. They're like, you got a warrant for your arrest violation of probation. In contact with a felon on probation. I'm like, God, damn. This bitch played me.

Like, she made it seem like, oh, pass your drug test you good. She still violated me. So I was just going to jail for a little stupid-ass-a-pettish shit back-to-back-to-back. I got locked up one time in, like, Carrollton, Georgia or something. It was either Carrollton or Radhaust or some country shit. But basically, we went to a party. I served some niggas and weed. It was like around the college parties and shit.

Like, served niggas some weed. They end up following us. So I'm like, damn, why the fuck they're following us like this? My partner driving. And we in the country, like I said, I don't know nobody around here. So we make a left, they make a left. We make it right, they make it right. So I'm like, damn, bro, if these folks make another left,

and it's dark streets in the country. So I'm like, bro, if these folks make this left, when we make this left, I'm from the bus at their ass. So we fuck around and make the left, they show up, make the left too. So I just hang out the car and get the hitting out of them. Faf, fop, fop, fuck, fuck, fuck. Boom, they got them swerve off the road. Boom, I don't know if, I don't think I killed nobody,

but they swerved off the road. we kept going. And it's so crazy because how I used to think like now I'm looking back at it like I didn't give a fuck about nothing because we left one party and was on the way to another party

after I served them. I got in the whole shootout and I'm still like bro let's go to this parties. So shit, we go to the party. The girl one of my home boys

is the one that told me about the party. We go down there's like five of us. We're in two cars. So the girl who invited him to the party she's not picking up the phone no more and it's at an apartment. So when we get there, she's not picking up the phone. I'm like, God damn, bro.

You know, and told us to come out here and the girl not even picking up the phone. So we end up like crawling under the gate to get into the apartments and we're just about to find the party. So I got an old-ass like 380. It's a fat-ass 3-80 and shit. But it was big, though.

It looked like a 40. I'm crawling under the gate. I got sweatpants on. So I guess when I called. crawled under the gate, the shit fell out my pants. Old dusty, regular-ass gun. It falls and hit the ground hard. When I picked the gun up, it just go off.

Boom. So I'm like, what the fuck? So all my partner's like, bro, Ebo, you tripping? I'm like, damn, bro, I ain't even mean to do that. They think I'm just on some drunk shit just shooting for no reason. Like, bro, you too trigger happy, bro. You just shot at them? No, you just shooting random shit, bro.

You're tripping. I'm like, bro, I did not do that. I didn't pull the trigger. Like, I'm literally hopping under a fence. I didn't pull the trigger. So the gun went off on. Now we hot. I'm like, damn, I just let this gun off.

We got to hurry up and find a party. So we're walking in the different apartments, trying to find a party, see where we hear the music. We can't find it. We go up the stairs. And when we're coming down the stairs, man, 12 is in there so fucking deep. Because I said it's like a college. It was a college time.

So 12 flooded in that bitch. As soon as we get to the bottom of the steps. So they're like, y'all, come here. Come here. So I know I got this gun on me. So while I'm walking to them, I'm in the grass. But the parking lot is right here. And cars is like back then right here.

So while I'm walking to the police, like, he in the street, I'm in the grass coming towards him. So I try to, like, throw the gun up under one of the cars. But it didn't go far enough. It landed in the grass. So when they get to us, they search me. I ain't have shit. They search all us. One of my other partners, he had a gun on him.

So he's going to jail too. We all, like, 17, 18 and shit. They put me in a police car. They find the gun. They find my gun. But they ended up not charging me with it because they didn't find it on me. So I was nervous as hell because I know I just got in the shootout down the street. And I know I just let my gun off on accident right here.

So if they found the gun, I just thought I was going to go down for the gun charge. But they actually just charged me for a minor under the influence because I was drunk. So I got a slap on the wrist then too. So it was like so many times in my life, shit could have got, I could have aggravated salt. I could have got possession of a firearm. I got locked up for minor or under the influence. That ain't shit. So a lot of the times in my life, like, I just kept getting spared.

So I always think, like, life just goes like this. So when does the RICO come along? The RICO came a little after, like, the RICO came when I was 20 years old. So I was, like I said, man, I was playing football and shit. Oh, yeah, before I even got kicked out of fucking school, I got kicked off the football team. I meant to put that in there. You can clip this part a little bit. but I meant to put that in there, if you can't put it before.

Yeah, I got kicked out the football team because when my dad moved to Nigeria, like I told you, I started on offense and defense my whole life. This was a new school that I was going to, so ever since they opened, I was a star player moving up every grade and shit. My dad moved to Nigeria, so they had summer workouts one year, and I couldn't make it the summer workouts because my mom's at work and my dad's in a whole other continent.

So I come back for the spring to play football And my coach tell me Yeah, Coach Ironside Fuck you, you're a bitch He tell me, hey You didn't come to no summer workouts So you're not playing on the team this year And that crushed my dream

That was another big part of me Getting in the street Because I really loved football So even when I was smoking weed And selling weed and shit Like everybody knew like I'm focused on this football shit So yeah that bitch ass nigga

He told me I couldn't play them more Because my dad was gone. I had no ride. My mom was at work every day. And I didn't know summer workouts was mandatory. I've been playing with y'all 10 years, 10 years, you know what I'm saying? So that fucked me up. Fast forward.

I had to put it back. So the RICO. Yeah, the RICO. Okay. How I actually got caught up on the RICO because, like, we were just getting deeper and deeper in the streets. Like I said, man, like, I started off selling weed. Then we were getting little click fights and shit with other little neighborhoods and shit. Like, where I'm from, we beefed with everybody.

From Cald County, we beefed with everybody. From Marietta, Pottis Springs, Smirna, Austell. I'm able to every city in my county, we beefed with niggas over there. Like, now to this day, like, there's no, like, smoke. Like, everybody's cordial now. But we were the most hated. So it's always, like, we always, like, grew a violent nature from fighting. It started off just fighting.

And they brought out guns first. Like, people we used to beef with it. We just used to like to fight. They started shooting. and we start shooting. So from shootouts to fucking, it started off with the burglaries, then we went to armed robberies.

Like, we just used to start robbing plugs. Like, we didn't rob, like, civilians or innocent people like that, but, like, drug dealers. Like, you're selling drugs. Hey, what's up? I'm trying to get some this, that, that, take their ass off. So just all the different crimes and shit we was doing,

we just looking at it like, hey, we're young. We're doing anything to get money. And we got some little beef out here, so we'll fight. If they bring out guns, we'll shoot, you feel me, but to us it looked regular

to the police it looked fucking crazy they're looking at it like a whole corrupt organization organized crime and shit so I end up

getting locked up at a gas station I'm on the way to a party this girl is her birthday dinner and she got like a hotel she about to have

a hotel party so we're on the way there we stopped and get some gas we had the gas station It's a homeless dude out there And my partner, like, hey, bro, you got some change? I'm like, change for what? He's like, now, change change, like, no, change change.

Like, he's like, some money. I'm like, shit, I got him. I gave him some money. Came back to the car. When I came back to the car, one of my other partners who was driving, he went to go put some money on the tank. The homeless man stopped him. Like, hey, your homeboy just gave me some money,

but I needed like $35 more to get a hotel room. My partner gave him $35. He'd go back to the car. We're not doing nothing wrong. You feel me? Like, we literally just about to go to a party. I just feel the car jerk. Like, while he's pumping the gas, the car's facing the gas station.

I feel the car jerk. And I hear my partner say, like, what the fuck? You got me fucked up? And we had came up to that gas station before, like a week or two before when we saw somebody we ain't like. When we pulled in, he's seen us, and he just pulled off real quick. So my first instinct was, like, oh, damn, we didn't ran into some of our ops type shit. We getting robbed.

Like, I'm thinking we getting robbed. So I got my gun in my book bag. So I reached, I unzook the book bag and grab my fire. When I'm about to get out the car, it's the police. He's like, drop the motherfucking bag. Drop the bag. Drop the bag. Don't move.

I'm like, fuck. Boom. I dropped the bag. And I'm like, why y'all fucking with us? Like, we just literally pumping gas. We ain't doing shit wrong. Like, why the fuck y'all running up on us guns out, you know what I'm saying, on our car for pumping gas? So they're like, oh, we just seen y'all sell drugs to that homeless man.

So I'm like, what the fuck? I ain't selling no drugs. Like, go search him. Like, you're tripping. Like, he don't got no drugs on him. He got money. He got our money. We gave him money.

That's it. We gave him money. We didn't get no money from him. So they went to go search the homeless man and found out he didn't have no drugs on him. He just had money. The whole time, this bitch-ass-nigger had more money on him anyway. He didn't even need our money. They get to pulling out shit out his sock, pulling out of his pockets.

I'm like, what the fuck? You got us hot for no. reason, you're straight for real. So, but by the time they find out he ain't got shit, they find out we do got shit. I got Molly on me. I got a gun on me. One of my partners got a warrant already. So it's just like, we hot fucking with this homeless man. We're trying to do a good deed. A good deed turned into some bullshit. My worst nightmare. So even though it was petty a gun in Somali, I didn't know that was the start of the RICO. Like, like, that was, they've been investigating us on this RICO. We got convicted in 20,

16, but they've been watching us since 2012. So they've been building this case for four years already. So all the fights I was talking about, all the armed robberies, all the shootouts, even though they couldn't prove it was exactly who it was, they knew it was us. So they got all of that, even shit that we didn't get locked up for. Oh, we heard gunshots. We got a call. We stopped the car and it was this person, this person, this person in there.

We searched it. We couldn't find no gun. We let them go. Like any police encountered any of us had, they had it in there. Like, my discovery package so long that shit was, like, over 3,000 pages. My lawyer had to bring it to me on the flash drive, because he's like, bro, I'm not printing out 4,000 pages of paperwork. So he always showed me my shit in my whole case on the laptop.

So when I get locked up for this model and this gun, that's what opens up everything. Because for Rico, you have to have two prior, like, you have to have two, like, you have to get locked up with two times with somebody in the organization. or I don't know if it's once or twice, but you have to get locked up before with somebody that's in this criminal enterprise. So say if we all committing crimes

and they think you part of the gang too, but you never got locked up with any of us. They can't charge you for a RICO because you never commit. They don't got proof of you committing the crime with this organization. But my first charge was a burglary and it was gang charges with my same people

and they've been building this case since. So when they finally locked me up, they originally just locked me up for a gun and Molly. Cool. I get in the jail. And like I told you, I've been to jail eight, nine times as a kid. So when I get there, this shit is a little different because now they're telling me take your shirt off. We want to take pictures of your tattoos, asking me gang questions. Are you part of a gang? I'm like, no. Or have you ever come in the gang crime? Like, no, I'm checking everything. No, no, no. I'm not part of no game. So I'm like, damn, I've been to jail a couple

times and they never asked me no shit like this. Like, what the fuck is going on? All I had was a gun and somebody. Like, they're trying to build a gang. I wasn't doing nothing. gang related. Honestly, at that point I wasn't. I was doing a good deed helping the homeless man. This shit fucked me up, turning to some crazy shit. So when they take the pictures of me, they finally let me go to my cell. Go to my cell. They make me sit in there like three months. I sit in the county for three months and my lawyer's trying to fight it on some like addiction. Like I got an addiction. Like it's personal use. It wasn't a big, big quantity of Molly. Like he uses it for personal use. So rehabilitation over incarceration.

That's what he was trying to push. Like, oh, yeah, send him to rehab. Don't send him to prison because he likes to use the drugs. Like, the gun, it wasn't reported, stolen. It wasn't, it didn't have no murders on it or none. You know what I'm saying? It was just a simple possession. So they ended up letting me bond out, letting me go to a rehab.

So now I'm in the rehab. I'm actually changing my life around now. Like, I'm taking a drug test three times a week. They got me in anger management classes. They got me in substance abuse class. They got me in AA classes. They got me working. You know what I'm saying?

Bible studies, all type of shit, bro. I'm really trying to change my life now. I'm at the point where I'm tired of this shit. Like, let me get right. And I was like, that's when my past was catching up to me. So I'm doing everything right. One weekend I'm out like, oh, they used to make me stay in there. And then every weekend they get a weekend pass at the rehab.

So Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I could go out with my family and shit. And then just come back on Sunday. to stay in there. So I think I was coming back on a Sunday. As soon as I came back, he used to be a little guests and shit coming in, like public speakers, like, you know, people that tried to, like, help us out and shit.

So one of them came in there. I seen them. I'm like, oh, this might be, like, one of the people that come in to help us type of shit. But something just, I had like a funny feeling about the dude. When he walked in, he shook somebody hand, boom, he kept pushing.

Then he walked up to me. like, is your name Brandon? I'm like, yeah. He had his hand out from me. I was like, yeah, nice to meet you. He was like, damn, you're just going to leave me hanging? I put my hand out to shake his hand. He was like, put your hand out to shake his hand.

I'm like, fuck. I'm like, damn, bro. I knew not to shake his hand. Like, I just felt it in my spirit. Like, don't shake his hand. As soon as I shook his hand, turn me around and put me in cuffs, they walk me out. I'm like, what the fuck did I do? Like, I just bonded out of jail.

I'm doing all the right shit. I ain't did. nothing. They're like, oh, you're being charged with racketeering, gang charges, this, that, that, that aggravated assault, armed robbery. I'm like, what the fuck? What the fuck is going all? I go outside, niggas, U.S. Marshals are surrounding that shit. Some of them in the bushes laying down. Some of them in unmarked four torsies and expeditions, all type of undercovers, real police. Like, that shit was just crazy. Like, they came, like, 30 cars deep just to get me, like, I'm like, Osama been lying to some shit. I'm like, what the fuck?

So, boom, they take me to the jail. They take me to the jail. I'm an intake. I'm like, do I get a bond? I asked the lady at the desk, like, do I, am I going to get a bond? She was like, I don't think so. I'm like, damn, they fucked up. But I'd never get a bond, though.

You know, I've been on probation since my first charge. So every time I go to the county, I have to sit like 30, 4 to 5 days, but I still asked her, like, I don't get a bond, because I didn't really actually do nothing now. I didn't do nothing. Boom. This is how I knew I was been to sit a long time because when she was getting all my property, like my wallet, my cash,

like my chapstick and all that, she putting all that in one bag. I got some condoms in my pocket. She grabbed the fucking condom. Like, well, you won't be any knees for a while? Throw them in the trash can. I'm like, damn. Like, she know I'm not coming out.

I'm not even convicted yet. But this has been like a big talk within my county. You feel me? Like, they've been wanting us. So when she's seen that they brought me in, she already knew like, oh yeah, they wanted him bad, he's not coming home. So when she threw them condoms away, I just knew like, oh, shit, I'm in trouble. And now, was this a Fed case or a state case?

It was a state case. But the Fed's helped arrest? I don't think it was the Fed. I don't know. Is the U.S. Marshals they consider the Fed? Yeah. Okay, yeah. So I guess the feds did come help the state out, but I just, it was strictly a state case.

Okay. Yeah. And all they did was charge you with the racketeering? Yeah, they charged me with racketeering. Originally, they charged me with racketeering, possession of a firearm, and commission of a crime. possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, the possession of a controlled substance for the molly.

I had an armed robbery. I had an aggravated assault. And, yeah, that was it. And was your plan to fight it from the start, or did you know your cook down this? My plan was to fight it for sure, like, for sure. Because it ended up, like, I ended up beating a lot of that shit. The armed didn't stick.

Like, somebody got robbed by some folks and then told the police like, yeah, they just robbed me, go look at his music video because I rap too, you know what I'm saying? So they're like, yeah, they just robbed me, go look at his music video, that's all my money

because they had supposedly just got a settlement for like $20,000. I think one of their parents died or something and then left them some money and they got robbed. But I honest to God, I didn't even rob. Like, I didn't have no part of that.

It was some people I knew, but I didn't even know that they did it. You feel me? They didn't tell me. I was getting my own money. So, yeah, I shot the video. We got money in it. they got money, but I'm not knowing that they took your money.

You feel me? But she's telling the police it was me. But I'm like, damn, this was like, this was really like one of my close people, like, very close to me. So I'm like, damn, you know I didn't do that. So why the fuck did you tell the police I did that? Like, I got a whole arm robbery on me because you lied on me. So, and then, like, I'm the face.

They're making it look like I'm the face of the organization because I rap. I've been getting charges, you know what I'm saying? So it's kind of, they try to make me like the ringleader. They were saying that, oh, I'm the one that sends people out. Like, I go rob people in houses, and I go tell people what houses to rob and what plugs to rob and shit. Even one of my partners, he got locked up for a burglary. And they locked them up.

Really, he got locked up for a home invasion. He was trying to do a burglary, but he didn't know the people was in the house. They was in the bathroom. Once he kicked the door in, they were in the bathroom hiding. So a lady and her child, too, it's crazy. They're in the bathroom hiding, and then they call the police. Whole time, he's just thinking he's doing a regular little burglary, nobody home. He robbing their house.

Twelve, lock them up. But they're so fucked up impressed about me. They're telling him, like, look, they put out four houses. And they're like, hey, look, man, we know Ebo either did all these houses or sent people out to go do them. So if you point me out the houses that Ebo did, we're going to change your home invasion to a burglary. They're like, hell no. Ebo don't tell people, you know what I'm saying, to do that shit. Like, I did this on my own.

My parents just moved to a whole other state. My flight is this weekend. Like, I'm supposed to go. Like, his parents moved to Arizona. And his flight, he told him he just wanted to stay another week because he was going to leave all of us behind, like, all his friends, all his, you know what I'm saying? So he's like, just let me stay in Georgia one more week. So his plan was to run some money up and hit Licks and then go out with his parents and

shit. So he's like, yeah, man, my parents went to Arizona. Like, my flight's on Saturday. Like, I was just trying to get some money before I go out there. Like, Y'Boh ain't got nothing to do with this. But they were just so pressed on me because they were seeing my music video. They were seeing 3040 young. dudes out there in gangs and shit, guns, drugs and shit.

So they really just wanted me bad. Now, do you go to trial or do you take a plea deal? My case is really, like, I'm the only person that I know that did this. Like, okay, so the armed robbery ended up, that was the first charge that ended up getting dropped because the person that said I robbed him was coming to visit me and had money on the phone for me and was putting money on my books and was going to my court dates sitting next to my mom. So there was like, there's no way he robbed you. Like, we see y'all's connection.

Like, you had to lie on him. My lawyer pushed that. Like, if he robbed her, why in the fuck is she has court dates? Why is she at visitation? Why does she have money on the phone, money on the books? So my lawyer pushed that and they didn't have no proof. So they dropped my armed robbery first. Boom, the aggravated assault.

The dude said I shot him. No, the dude didn't say I shot him. The dude said he know for a fact I was there, but he don't know if I'm the one that shot him. So that's not enough to charge me with aggravated assault just because you're saying I'm there. So you halfway told on me, you bitch-ass, nigger, but it got me off the hook because you didn't tell them I did it, you feel me? So they ended up dropping my aggravated assault. But the only thing that I couldn't beat was the possession of the firearm as a convicted felon

and the control substance because I had the mileage and I had the gun when I was helping the homeless man out. So that shit I knew I had to take the charges for, but I beat my serious shit. So you took a plea for those charges you knew you weren't going to be? Yeah, a non-negotiated because they offered me 15, they offered me 12, then they offered me 10. It was 23 people on my RICO, but two of them already took time and they both agreed to testify. So I'm like, damn, I can't go to trial because these niggins are going to tell on me. But I can't take 10 years.

like for a gun, for one gun in a little bit of my life. Like, hell no. I mean, I had the RICO too, but it's just like, the actual shit that y'all caught me with to give me this RICO is not worth 10 years. So I'm like, fuck that shit. Like, what can I do? I'm telling my lawyer. Like, what the fuck can I do?

He's like, shit, the last step you can do before trial is a non-negotiated plea. That's where you go in front of the judge. And the DA tells the judge how much time she wants to give you. And your lawyer says how much time we're willing to take. So my lawyer went in there was like, we'll take two years. And the DA said eight. She wanted me to do eight. And then the judge picked seven.

So that's how I ended up getting a 20 to do seven, like 20 year, full sentence, but seven to serve in prison. And this is in 2016 that you cop out. So how long are you in the jail for before you take the plea deal? I said a whole year. I was fighting it. I was fighting that. Yeah. What was that like there in Georgia?

Shit. County jail is fucked up, but it's not as bad as Georgia prisons. It's way sweeter. You got a lot of fights and shit. But when I went to prison, like, they sent me to all level fives. Everywhere I was at was, like, in the top five worst prisons in Georgia. They sent me all to the worst prisons and shit. So county jail, it ain't bad like that.

Of course, niggas getting beat up and shit, jump, and they shit took. But prison, niggas is dying. Even if you're not dying, you're getting stabbed. Like, it was them there stabbing every single day. Like, for real, because everybody got knives. And they don't really care about you in there. when you're in the state. Yeah, you showed me this picture of you with a machete.

Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. I've never seen anything like it. Yeah, I kept me a machete. I had about three. I was locked up seven years. So within my seven year, I probably had like two, three machetees.

So tell us about the prison experience, you know, getting there the first day who comes up to you, all of that. This shit really like, like the movies and shit. Like, because where I'm from, we call it down the road because, like, you literally go down. Like, you go down the road to the country towns. Like, you got the people on the bus with the shotguns and shit. They put you in the arm shackles. They put you in the waist shackles. And then your legs are shackled together and shit.

You're walking like this on the bus. They're taking you far to the country, place you've never been on the bus on the bus with a bunch of, who knows what? Like, you got robbers on here. You got robbers on here. You got murderers on here. You got kidnappers on here. Like, all type of fuck them shit. You're just on the bus going to some place you've never been before.

Police officers, you shackled up. You get down to, like, everybody in Georgia, you got to go to the diagnostic prison. It's called Jackson State Prison. It's the worst prison in Georgia because everybody got to go there. So even if you got a fucking burglary, if you were, I mean, not a burglar, a shoplifting charge. Even if you got a fucking shoplifter charge, you're a habitual shoplifter. You never hurt nobody in your life, but you got like four shoplifting and they finally want to send you to prison. You got to come to this same prison where this nigga killed three motherfuckers, you know what I'm saying?

or this super rape, serial rapists and shit like that. Like everybody got to go to Jackson. So since it's so mixed, it's so fucked up. Because everybody go through there, they'll sit you there for a couple weeks, maybe a month, maybe a couple months. But it's diagnosis, they learn you, they really study your charges, then they pick where you're going to go, like what your permanent prison going to be. So getting down there was like the movies. Like you get down there, they let you up in a big-ass, like a parking lot. You got to walk across.

You see the guard towels with the police with the sniper rifles and shit. Like, just looking like, damn, boy, this shit. I'm really in prison. I never thought I'd go to prison. Like, I told you, I always used to get slap on the wrist. Every time I get locked up, I sit a little bit and they let me out. But now that's why I'm like, damn, this shit real. Like, the judge just gave me seven years.

Like, I'm going to be in this bitch. Are these gang-oriented prisons? Yeah, hell, yeah. Georgia is a gang-bang in the ass state. Everybody gang bang. Everybody gang-bank. So who are the main gangs in these prisons that you have to worry about? Oh, shit.

You know, just a regular nationwide game, bloods, crips, GDs, fucking Muslims. They damn there, gang, too, shit. You got a ghost face, white boys, they got a gang, ghostface, Aaron Brotherhood, all type of game. Every gang. Every gang. And who do you ride with? I own gang bank. Yeah, I own gang bank.

But what about the people that were on Yuriko? Oh, would that consider it a gang? Like, we was mixed. Like, we was mixed, like, uh. Before everybody was all one accord, like some niggas was blood, some niggas was GD and some niggas was croup and some niggas was just our neighborhood. But we all fucked with each other. It was no like one specific gang.

Like we didn't all just claim a game. That's why we were mad that we even got charged with the Rico because like we not even all, well. Didn't the horseshoes signify you guys as a gang? Yeah. To them, we just, we didn't look at it like that. But you can call it. at that because we was committing crimes.

We had beefs and shit. So, yeah, but we never called it. Like, we never called it. From sauce to dust to nuggets. It's Taco Bell's new Diablo-Dusted crispy chicken nuggets. Are they mild? If they were mild that had to change the name

to little rascal nuggets or minor nuisance nuggets, definitely Diablo. New Diablo-dusted crispy chicken nuggets, a brand-new classic. Only at Taco Bell. At participating U.S. Taco Bell locations for a limited time and while supplies last.

Build status alone. So when I went into prison, I was gang banging. I thought you just weren't gangbanging. No, no, no. When I went into prison, I was game banging. Okay. So when I first got to, I didn't have been in prison. I did time as a game bang, I did time as a civilian.

You feel I me? I was game banging all the way till it was some, like, it was some bullshit going on in my game. Basically, it was two people that had a lot of power in my game, and they were top rank. Now, I got a call from another prison because I had a phone in there. Like, I had a lot of phones and shit. Everywhere I went, I had a phone. I got a call from another prison somebody else in the gang, in the same gang. They're telling me like, hey, bro, he got sex offender charges.

And this one is a rat. He told we got his paperwork. Like, in the gang I was in, you can't be a sex offender. You can't have no rape shit. You can't none of that shit. So when I found out, he showed me, like, a lot of people will have personal beef with a motherfucker. and throw salt on a nigger name or make some fake Microsoft Word documents

and fake paperwork and shit. These folks had concrete black and white. Like you can go on Google, type the man name and his charges come up. He had sodomy on a little boy. He had rape, aggravated child molestation. Real fucked up charges, but you're telling everybody you locked up for armed robbery.

Then the other one, he didn't have no fucked up charges like that. He had a murder, but he told on his co-defendant. So, when I get the call, I'm just a stand-up dude. I'm a stand-up, nigga. I find out the shit. I'm like, look, I don't get a fuck.

How much power these motherfuckers got? I make the call. Like, hey, these motherfuckers ain't right. They can't be gang. Like, y'all are going to handle that business. They were supposed to go handle them. But they got so much power. They're getting a nigga stabbed in prison.

They're getting people shot on the street. Like, they was really like that. So the people that were supposed to go handle them end up telling them like, hey, Ebo just said this about you, that you were a rat. And he said that you was sex offender, da-da-da-da. instead of going to go handle protocol because this protocol if you see black and white

like if somebody just says it like oh he's a snitch or he's a rapist you know what I'm saying you can't just throw allegations on somebody you got to show proof so when I showed the proof and they didn't go handle the business they was not following protocol

they were just scared of what them motherfuckers could do so they end up telling them like oh yeah Ebo said this and Ebo said that basically like just scared to go handle the business so now they call her my phone

they're like oh yeah we heard heard what you said about us and shit. Like, look, bro, we're not even going to make it a big deal. Just come to this dorm and get your violation and everything good. You're still going to have your rank. Everything good. Like, we respect you. We fuck with you.

But you're speaking on our name like that. Like, you got us fucked up. So I'm telling the nigger, nigga, fuck you. That shit's over with it. Like, nigga, I'm not being, because they have more rank than me. So, and we at the same prison. So I'm like, I'm not fend to be taking orders, be up under a nigger that is a fucking child molester and a fucking rat.

Both y'all niggas ain't right. Fuck y'all niggas. So they don't want to shit like shit like shit. I told him like, I don't want to be part of that shit no more. I'm like, bro, this some dub shit. Like, I don't fuck with this shit. Like y'all niggas ain't right. I'm not rocking with y'all.

So they're like, bro, it ain't no just walking away from this shit. You know that, right? I'm like, shit, I bet. Send them. So I tell them send some niggas at me. Come on. Like, you gotta get in the same way you got out. You got to, like, you know what I'm saying?

Like, you got to put in some work to get in. If you want to get out, like, they're going to send some motherfuckers at you to try to get you. If you survive, you survive. But they don't want nobody to get out of the gang. It's a trap for real. So you guys are all communicating with each other over cell phones in this person. Over cell phones. We actually never was in the same dorm.

Like, they was on the other side of the prison. I never even seen them while I was at this same prison. The prison's so big. And how far into this sentence are you when this happens? This was like, I got locked up 2016. This was 2019. So three years into my sentence. And so you go into the prison as a gang baner.

Yeah, yeah. So this is the pivotal moment where you stop messing with them. Yeah. So what happens? Did they come after you? Yeah, they came. Like, it was like a couple weeks passed by. A couple weeks passed by, but I'm knowing they're going to do it though, because I told you, like, they get shit touched in prison and outside.

Like, they can call, press a button, and the motherfucker going to do it. So I know they're coming. I was just always on point, working out a lot, you know what I'm saying, sharpening my knives and shit. Ready for them. It just so happened. A shakedown happened. And one of my machete, like, I had a machete and I had a little pocket rocket knife, like,

a small one. Shakedown come, they come get both my knives. So I'm like, fuck, boom. So I know that they could be coming any day. So I asked one of my other partners, like, hey, bro, got them, you got another knife for me? They're like, yeah, but he gave me some small, like, that little shit. I didn't even like to carry that motherfucker around, but it was like, I had to. So one day, they call yard.

I got my basketball shorts on. I had my state pants on at first, but I took my state pants off. I had my shank in my pocket. It was so fucking small. I put it on my bed. I went to go hoop. But we had a yard, like a big yard,

then we had a yard like in the dorm. Like, it was a basketball court you can go to, like, outside. You know what I mean? Like, it wasn't all the way on the big yard. So I'm just thinking, all right, it's cool. I'm in my dorm. Ain't none of them in my dorm, so I didn't have to have my knife on me right then.

But they left the doors open in all the dorms. So these motherfuckers came from the other side of the prison and came to my dorm. The craziest part is they sent the motherfucker who was trying to be in my gang. He was trying to be up under me. And I used to fuck with him,

but he used to get bullied all the time and shit. Like, he was a cool dude, but he wasn't like that. He wasn't built like that. So he's always telling me like, Ebo, bro, I want to get with the game, bro, put me down, put me down. I'm like, bro, no, bro, this type of lifestyle ain't for you. Like, you're always getting bullied and shit.

I used to always have to stop the homies. Like, don't take his shit. Don't beat them up. Like every time he gets into an argument, save him. We end up getting on another side of the prison. And since I wouldn't let him in the game, he tried to talk to them folks. So they tell him to come stab me or beat me up or whatever, handle his business on me, and he'll be part of the game.

So I see him. He come in the dorm. I see him, I'm like, what up, bro? He's like, what up? Just walk past and keep walking. So I'm like, damn, this is the same little nigga that I always wanted to be in my face, come kicking with me, smoke with me. It was kind of weird, but I didn't think about it too much.

Boom, I get done playing basketball. I come back in the dorm. When I come back in the dorm, boom, I get punched in the back of the head. So I'm like, what the fuck? I turned around and I see it's him. I'm like, what the fuck, bro? You know you're a bitch. Like, you know you really a bitch.

I ain't no way you just punch me, bro. So you who they sent? He's like, yeah, what's up? What's up? So I'm like, oh, man, I'm fin to fuck you up. We're squaring up his shit, boom. He throws some little shit at me. I weave and just, I get the penis

ass. I'm going in this shit. Beat him. I drop him like three seconds. He's a peeway. He's a shrimp. So I dropped him in like three seconds, but he was with two other dudes. But they sent him on the miss. He was supposed to handle me, but he couldn't fucking handle me. So when I dropped him, I should have just kept my head on a swivel and been looking at the other two. Like, all right, I dropped him, let's keep moving type of shit. But I just blacked out. Like, I would really, in disbelief, and it was like, it fucked me up because a nigga I used to take care of you, you feel? Like, you let this gang shit go to your head and you turn on me. type shit. So when I dropped them, I just got on top of them. I'm trying to finish them.

Boom. I'm punching them out. Next thing, you know, I get stabbed in my arm and my shoulder right here. I don't really feel it. I'm still punching them. I get stabbed in the back of my arm. I'm still punching them. My adrenaline pumping, so I don't feel none of that shit. But then when they stabbed me in my spine, I heard it. I felt it and I heard it. Like, I heard my flesh pop. So that's what I'm like, God damn. But I'm already on top of them. So when they stab me in my back, like, I kind of crawl over them. Like, I'm still standing, but I crawl.

And I'm like, what the fuck? I look back. They're trying to pick him up and run out my dorm. So they're taking them out the dorm. They're running out the dorm. And like I told you, my state pants is on my bed with my knife. So I don't got my knife on me. So instead of me trying to go to my bed, I ain't have time to go to my bed, get my knife, then chase him.

I just, as soon as I see them run that way, I run that way. And it just so happened to be like a mop stick at the front of the dorm. So I just grabbed the mop stick and get the whacking them in the back of the head. Boom, bum, bum, chasing them and shit, whacking them. Then my bump mate grabbed me, pick me up like a big-ass GD dude. He was GD, but he was still my dog, though. That nigga picked me up like, bro, you tripping, like, let that shit go. Let that shit go.

Like, you're about to bleed out, bro. You don't feel that, bro? You're dying here, bro. You need to go to medical. So that's when I look back. I see the blood stains on the back of my pants. I'm like, oh, shit. We got white, like, in Georgia, we got the white state pants with a blue stripe.

So I looked in the back, like, all no homo, like my whole ass covered with blood is red, all the way down to my calves. Like, that shit looked crazy. That's when I fucking realized it. And adrenaline was pumping until then. That's when shit got real. I'm like, oh, shit, I'm fucked up. So they take me in there.

They try to clean my wounds up with soap and shit. Patch me up with coffee in a bed sheet. You know what I'm saying? Like a paper towel with coffee. Put it on all my stab wounds. Then they tied the bed sheet around me. When I walked to medical, they was like, oh, yeah, this is too bad. We can't do nothing with that.

You got to go to a real hospital. So I go to the real hospital. I get to the real hospital, they stitch me up and shit. And the police trying to ask me, like, who did that, what happened? I wouldn't tell on the nigger. So since I wouldn't tell on him, they put me in the hole. I'm like, damn. I go to the whole, whole time.

I'm in the hole. Now I'm evil. Now I'm fucking evil. I got to get some vengeance straight up. I'm in the hole. And for like two, three weeks, it take me a little bit to heal up. me about them there a month to heal up for real. Because it was like, they would say if it was like a half an inch deeper, I would have

been paralyzed because it's right directly on my lower spine. So I healed up, healed up, boom. They tell me, pack it up, you can come out the hole now. I'm like, bet. My first instinct is to go get them, to find them, find the motherfucker, all their ass. I'm trying to get all their ass. So I know I'm going to end up going back to the hole because I'm feeling to get my straightening. They put me in the dorm.

Boom, I didn't even put my shit in. in my room yet. You know how this shit go. When you first get in the dorm, people put their shit on the table or some, talk to their folks and shit. So I'm just chopping it up with some of my folks in the dorm. They're like, yeah, damn, what, we heard about what happened and shit? They're like, bro, come smoke with us, boom.

They're smoking with me, giving me food and shit. Everybody fucked with me, bro. I was a good dude, you feel me? And I had motion when I was in prison. So I was making money and shit, getting drops. So I always used to make money with a lot of folks. They telling me, they was in my game too. They telling me like, yeah, bro, that nigger, um, it's a little.

a nigga up there, he keep walking by the room that you're supposed to go to. Like, he own you. Like, just keep your eyes open type shit. So I'm like, yeah. So I see him one time. I'm in the room, though. He don't see me. I'm in the room smoking, but I see him walk past my room and just kind of like peek in and look

and see if I'm in there yet. But the whole time, all my property is still on the table. I never put it in my room yet. So all are already in my head, I'm like, oh, yeah, I got to go and get his eye because he's going to try to get me. So one of them give me a knife and shit. I'm asking him like, hey, let me get a blick. Give me a knife.

I wait till he go to his room. He go to his room and he's taking a piss. So I literally catch him pissing, like, dick out and all that. I swing his dough open, I get the stabbing his ass. I just get the stabbing his eye, push him over this toilet. Like, I can't let you get me before, you know what I'm saying? It's either me or you, and we locked in this cell, and the police don't give a fuck about us.

They'll let a nigga die in here. So I'm like, man, I already know I'm not fin to stay in here. I'm already telling my bro. Like, hey, bro, I'm going. I'm going. I'm gone. So, stab his ass a couple times in the head, push him over the toilet, he fall. I close the door, slam the door, lock him in his room.

I go to the front and I bang on the window. Like, hey, I don't feel safe in here. Y'all need to get me out of this dorm. I can't live in here. Put me in another dorm. She's like, the police like, what? You just got in here. Like, what do you mean?

I'm like, I don't feel safe here. Just let me go. Boom. So I get my property, boom. They got a little cage outside the dorm that you can sit in. They call it like a salad park. I'm sitting in a cage waiting for them to us. sign me a new dorm.

They're like, we're going to get you a new dorm. We got you. I'm trying to kind of like flirt with her, staying good grace and shit. We're making jokes and shit, everything good. The lieutenant come back. I'm like, hell no, you ain't going to no dorm, LT. They're like, hell no, you ain't going to no new dorm. We know you just did that in there.

I'm like, fuck. Because LT came when he first came. Like, he's like, what's going on? I'm like, yeah, I just need a new dorm, LT. Like, I just got out the hole, man. I got PTSD. You know, I just got stabbed, man. I just want to go somewhere with a better environment.

You know, I got you. I got you. Let me do my rounds. He do his rounds in there. That's when he found out, bro, bro, got stabbed. So I was like, LT, bro, you're going to find me a dorm? Like, hell, no, man. You know you just did that in there.

You're going back to the hole. So I'm like, fuck. I go back to the hole. They take me to the hole, and they put me on some shit called the tear program. In Georgia, the tier program, like, you locked down 24 hours straight every day for nine months. It could be nine months. It could be 12. It could be 16 depending on how you do when you're behind the door.

How you treat officers, how you do this, that. So I ended up only having to do nine months on it, but that shit was crazy too. Like, they call it tear because, you know, in prison, like you got tears, like top, tier, bottom, tear, left, tier, right tier. But we say they call it tear because it's like, it'll make a nigga cry, that tear program. Being on there 24 hours, like the first month or two, they don't even let you get food, commissary. They don't let you get no phone calls. You just, you will really lose your mind.

A lot of people lose their mind in there, just being in a cell all day, 24 hours. Then it's the summertime. It's hot. We in fucking the country, like South South Georgia. So in the summertime, it might be 105 degrees. No AC. You're just baking in this room. Just losing your mind.

You can't talk. You can't eat. They let you out to sell like three days a week, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. They let you go shower. But just to take a shower is so difficult. Like, they got a flap at your cell door. They'll swing it open where the tray is going and shit. But when you take a shower, you got to cuff up, like backwards.

You got squat down. They cuff you up, walk you to the shower. When you get to the shower, you got to squat, uncuff you, put your shit in the shower, take a little shot. It's a cell. They got the cell showers in the hole on the tear program. So boom, you wash yourself. Then you got to get your shit, all your dirty clothes, and squat again, get cuffed up again. They take you to your room, close the door on you, squat again, and then they take the cuffs off you.

It's a whole process just to wash your ass. So just going through that shit for nine months straight. Like, it was just like, either you just going to get stronger, like, mentally or it's going to break you for real. Did the guy, do the guy die? No, he ain't die. He's arrived. Yeah, because it's so crazy. Like, I didn't want to catch no murders in prison.

Like I said, like, I ain't just no fucked up dude, but it's just like, I'm going to survive wherever I'm at. I'm going to survive wherever the fuck I'm at. But, and it sounds crazy. But the best place to stab somebody in prison, if you don't want to kill him is their face or their head. And it sounds like crazy, but literally, if you stab somebody in. in their chest, they'll probably die. If you stab somebody in their stomach, they'll probably die. If you stab somebody in their neck, they'll probably die.

But your head is hard. It's a skull. So a motherfucker would think like, damn, you stabbed them in the face, bro. You could have killed him. Like, you're not going to kill nobody from stabbing somebody in the top of the head with a shank. So I knew I wanted to fuck him up, but I didn't want to kill him. So I didn't fucking stab him in none of his shit where I could kill him. I just stabbed him in the top of the head a couple times and got them push his ass and let them stay in that bitch.

Do they recharge you for this? Do they add on charges or not? No. And that's another fuck though thing about Georgia State prisons because I feel like if there was charging motherfuckers, that it wouldn't happen as much. Because a lot of people that have been stabbed. Like, it's people with two years that stabs, motherfuckers. It's people in our county jails now that stabbing motherfuckers.

And you're probably about to be in there for a VOP, 30 days, but as soon as you get in there, you got a knife, you know what I'm saying? Like, the police don't really give a fuck about you. So most people is going to keep doing it because you don't really get a lot of the money. no punishment. It's times that I've seen a motherfucker stab a nigger, the police come and they just take the person that got stabbed out and the person who stabbed me get to stay in the dorm. So now the whole dorm see it like, damn, he just stabbed him and nothing happened. Good. So shit, when I get into something, I can stab somebody and I'm good. Like, that's how it is.

They have you thinking like that. Like, they don't punish the person that stabs you. Yeah. So they might send you to the hole or some, but a lot of times they don't even do shit. So did this nine months in the hole make you rethink your involvement in gangs? Yeah, because right before that, that's when I told them I didn't want to be a part of the gang because it wasn't moving right. There's no way. Like, I'd have been a part of these gang. I want to say like nine, ten years. I'm one of the originals. So I'm like, damn, we never rocked like this. But these folks got so much power, y'all, is going against the grain and our principles that we stand on. And I don't fuck with that. I don't care how much money they got. They

They're making money too in prison. Like, you feel me? So I don't care how much money they got, how much power they got. I'm not respecting, I can't fuck with that. Somebody that's raping people, especially a little boy. Like, you're a faggot and you fucking a rapist. Like, I'm not fucking with you. I can't, I don't want to be in the same thing as you.

Hell no. Then you're a rat. Like, how the hell people looking up to you calling you big bro and all this shit? And you're not even standing on the shit. You getting niggas stabb for being rats and you're a rat. Like, that shit is backwards. I couldn't, I didn't fault with that. Like, just principle-wise, I couldn't fuck with that.

So you get out of the shoe, do they send you to a different prison? Yep. After I did my nine months, they sent me to another prison. I went to the Macon State prison. What was that like? Terrible. My first day there, a nigga, gets killed in the same dorm that they put me in. I'm like, damn, what is the odds?

I just came from this bullshit. Now I'm getting sent to this motherfucking prison, and the first day there, a nigga died. And then y'all want to put me in that same dorm. Like, what the fuck? It was a Mexican named Cholongo. I remember shit. fucking his bump mate he got into it with another game

he was in some Mexican gang Cholango was in some Mexican gang his buntas was white he was like ghostface they got into an argument because the buntmate had been up for a couple days high on the meth and shit they get into an argument his bunk mate had a fucking shank

that looked like a lawnmower blade like it was coiled all the way to the end so he fuck around and stabbed Cholango in the stomach and when he stabbed him like Chilongo fucking like when he stabbed Cholongo and pulled the shit out but when he pulled it out since it was coil I don't know where the fuck he got this shit from

but since it was a spiral like this when he pulled the shank out Cholungo intestines came out his intestines came out and that was the most like graphic shit I ever seen his intestines came out of his stomach and the man was trying to fold it back up and put his shit back in his stomach

he took like he folded it up he took like three steps And they just fell forward and died. I'm like, oh, shit. I'm like, God damn. Why the fuck y'all put me in here? They lock us down. My very first day there, I'm locked down.

God damn. They got us behind the door for 30 days. So every day they just bring in the trays to our door. They feeding us breakfast, a fucking peanut butter sack at lunch, like one peanut butter sandwich at lunch, and then it's bullshit for dinner. Like, it was just bullshit. So I didn't even get to experience the shit. I didn't even really get to meet people in my door.

I don't even know where I'm at for real. You know what I'm in a whole new place, but I still don't know where I'm at because I'm doing my first 30 days behind the door with my bunkmate. My bunkmate just got there that day too. He came from another prison. So it's like, it's nerve wricking because it's like,

I was comfortable at my last prison. That bullshit happened. Now I got here. I'm trying to observe the dorm. I can't even observe it because we're all behind the door. So 30 days later, they let us have locked down for him getting killed in my dorm. When he get killed,

we out for a day that same night a Muslim gets killed a Muslim kills another Muslim they put us back behind the door so I'm like damn bro I've been here 60 days one of them days I was out

I was in for 30 day we was on lockdown for 30 days got out for one day that night somebody else got killed and they put us behind the door for another 30 days so my first two months at Mega State was behind the door 24 hours Was your old gang still gunning for you

because you said that they had phones and they were really powerful. And that's the crazy part about it. Like, I slept with, I got a knife as soon as I got there. And this prison was so insecure that, like, we didn't even lock down. Like, the police would come close our door,

but they couldn't lock it. Like, all the doors were fucked up. So a motherfucker could swing your door open at any time of the night. Like, that shit is not secure at all. So I was sleeping with my knife every day because I'm in the door. with 11 people that was in that same gang I was just in.

So I'm like, damn, any one of these days, a call can be down here and be like, oh, Ebo down here, like, go ahead and stab him because he just stabbed one of our folks, you feel me? So the whole time I'm thinking like that, like, yeah, like one day I'm going to have to stab it out with these niggas in here too. So I'm playing it cool, but I'm watching them every day. I'm watching their body movement, watching how they look at me, talk to me. But they was chilling.

It never ended up happening then. It just so happens that... Life is crazy. It just so happens that the nigger that I told them was a sex offender ends up raping somebody after I leave and going to another prison. He ended up raping somebody. They do the fucking rape kit on the dude that he raped and found the dude semen in his ass,

like some real super duper gay jahaw shit. Like crazy shit. So now they don't tie them up. They stabbing them, beating them up. And they call on FaceTime. They call the gang members that's in my prison that's in the same game. And they're in the same dorm as me. So that's when they called me over there like, yo, Ivo, come here.

So in my head, I'm thinking like, is they going to try and stab me? I don't know what's going on. I don't know that he did that or nothing. So I'm like, these niggas never called me to their room. But I'm not no bitch. So I'm like, I can't just not go over there. So it's like, it feels crazy. But I'm like, I'm damn there walking into a death trap.

Like, because if I go in this room, they can all. stab the fuck out me and what I'm gonna do I can stab him back but I'm gonna die in this bitch so I walked down to their room and they're like hey twian come here like look at this shit bro we heard about that shit that happened at the last prison that shit was not righteous like that's some bullshit bro we want you back in the game bro you see what they doing to him now he was some bullshit bro if if I was down here that would have never happened bro nigger would have never stabbed you none of that shit bro da da da da da look at how they doing them and they showing me on face time the the nigger that sent them folks at me.

He's tied up right now. They just have him phone with him. Yeah, bust him again. Bus them again. I'm seeing him on the phone. They just stabbing him. Boom. Stabbing them, punching them,

kicking him in the face and he can't do shit. He just tied up. Not saying nothing. I'm like, damn, you bitch-ass-knigger. You sent these folks at me and you really is up. You know you're a faggot. You're telling people you locked up for armed robbery. You locked up for child molestation on the boy.

And now they fucking you up because you got too fucking horn and you don't rape the nigger down here. You got caught. So it's like, damn, bro. I never had to go. go through that. If you were to just live your truth, you know what I'm saying? Being gay, stop being in the gang and just leave, you feel me?

Or you know what I'm saying? But you sent some folks at me and ended up getting caught being gay for real, so now they got your ass. So when that happened, I was just like, just give me some time, bro. I'm going to think about it, bro, because that shit was some bullshit, bro. Like, I'm a righteous dude. Like, I don't move, I don't, I never told on a nigger. I never went out bad.

I never, I don't steal, you feel. Like, all the little shit that can get you kicked out. Like, I never did that. Like, everybody always fucked with me since I was a kid. like on the street in the county and in prison. Like, I always moved the right way. So when that shit happened to me, while I'm still moving the right way, I'm like, I don't want to be in no game.

Because it's folks that won't follow protocol and some shit like that can always happen. Now, speaking of Tied Up, you were showing me a video of someone that you tied up in president. Yeah, man. Like, I ain't going to lie.

Like, I'm a cool lad dude until it comes to my money. Like, I follow out with friends about money. Like, I fall out with acquaintances, strangers. Like, by my money, I don't play about my money. So I used to fuck with the dude. I used to sell him drugs and shit His folks always used to send money His sister, his mom, his wife

Like he was coming in Like spending a lot of money So I fucked around and let him run up a tab To like $300 Like he just used to get like 10 sacks And 20 sacks 50 sacks But it doesn't got so high

Like I'm used to him spending so much money I'm like giving them the leeway You know what I'm saying Like oh yeah he always paid man It's been slow So he'd get the 300 I'm like god damn bro When you're gonna pay me my money

He's like I got you man All my folks been bullshit They didn't send me my shit I got you So I'm like, bro, you're going to have about next week when we go get commissary? He's like, yeah. So that week on commissary, I'm just waiting. I'm just chilling the cut.

Like, you're going to rid with my shit? Like, shit, I'm watching them. Boom, I see him going to other people's rooms and shit, but I'm not really thinking nothing of it because I don't see him with no food. So I'm thinking like, I'm watching to see if he's trying to pay off his other debts because he don't just owe me, you know what I'm saying? He'll bounce around. So he fuck around and try to go buy some meth from one of my home boys that's in the dorm with me.

So my partner, he's like, shit. He like, come to my room, like, hey, Ebo, hey, don't he owe you 300 still? I'm like, yeah, what's up? He's like, shit, he was just trying to buy some dope for me. I'm like, yeah? I'm like, tell him come here, I'm going to smoke with him. So, he's like, hey, come here, da-da-da-da-da. I'm like, yeah, bro.

Come to my room real quick, bro. I'm from the-roll up, smoke with you and shit. He come to my room, boom, I won't close the door immediately. Boom, I go in this shit, boom, start whipping his ass. After I get the whoop in his ass, I get the belt and the bed sheet, tie his ass up. I'm like, matter of fact, you tie your hands. I tied him up like this already, but I tell him tie his own hands up. He tying his hands up with the belt and shit.

I'm whipping his ass. I put him up under my bed. I put him up on my bed. We make little videos and shit. Just have fun with it, too. Because it's like, I wanted to fuck him up, but I didn't want to kill him. Like I said, I never wanted to kill nobody and never come home in prison. So, but, like, you got to get your point across in that bitch.

Because, like, if people pray on the week in prison. I'm not no bully, but at the end of the day, I'm not no bitch neither. If you owe me some money, I'm going to handle you accordingly. I just worked his ass a little bit, got them put him under my bed. Like, I had burnt the little wick and shit. So I just like burning a little bit, burn him on his arm and shit, burn his leg and shit. I put the nigger in time out like three hours. I let him go.

Then I made him just get payment plans. Hey, look, even if you can't pay the $300, like, you pay me something. I don't care if it's $10 a week. Just pay me and knock this tab off. Were phones very popular in there? Some places I went to, they were. But some places, like, it was times where I was at a prison and only three people on the compound I had a phone and I have a phone.

Like, some prisons like, you might find phones for 500, you might find phones for 1,000, you might find phones for $3,500, you might find phones for $5,000. It just depends what prison you go to and how often they get them in. The more rare they are, the more high the price going to be. It's been a lot of times I'm in the dorm with 96 people and only five us got a phone or three us got a phone. Like, hell yeah, and that shit get dangerous too, especially when you're not in the game. Because now, like, all these people that don't got phones want your phone, you feel me?

Or, like, I'm in the dorm where a lot of motherfuckers got phones. Like, it might be a 50-man dorm. 30 and 40 people got phones. But the police come and do a sweep, and they take, like, 20 phones. So now all these people that lost their phones, some of them gang members. So now they're mad, they lost their shit. They're looking like, hey, I don't have any getting a new one. He got one.

So every time when it would be a shakedown, like, yeah, it's fun and cool having the phone. Like, I'd be on FaceTime with my folks and shit. I had a iPhone, too. But it comes with a lot of bullshit too. So now, like, I used to find different ways to hide my phones and shit. So when a lot of motherfuckers would get their shit to, I wouldn't, like, the police to come in and take their shit. Like, my shit will survive. So after my shit survived, like, you're supposed to be happy because, like, oh, the police ain't found my phone.

But now I got to be on alert for that. these niggas. So, every time a shakedown, I happen, like, I just scrap up, put my shoes on, get my knives and shit, my machete or something, put my phone in my pants and shit, yeah, yeah, and I'd just be waiting by my door and just reading the door, just watching people's body language, seeing who putting their shoes on, because, you know, it's been to go, a lot of people wear slides and shit, you know what I'm saying, or crocs. But when they're fin to go down, you're fin to see the gang, oh, seven niggas walked in this room, or they're plotting. Oh, they got shoes on. Yeah, I just used to observe the dorm all the time.

But luckily, like, nobody ever just tried me like that. Like, I'm a stand-up nigger. Everybody knew, like, even in a gang or outside the gang, I'm the same nigger. Like, I'm not going to come to you with no bullshit, but I'm not going for shit. So. Now, these machetes, how do you even hide them in prison? The phones? No, the machetes.

The machetes, like, bruh, honestly, the two prisons that, because I was at five, Jackson, where state, mega state, full state, Calhoun. I was at five different prisons. Out of the five prisons I went to, I only had machetes at two of them. But them two prisons, the police didn't give a fuck about you. So I literally slept with my machete. Like, on the head of my bunk, my machete was right here. And then I had a small knife that I just slept with.

I just always go to sleep like this. Like, it's crazy because I got a partner, he got life, bro. Free my boy at 38. He got a life sentence. He just sent me an old pit. He was my bunkmate. He called a life sentence, he was 15. He sent me a picture like a week ago of me sleeping with my shake in my hand.

My iPhone is on the charger and my knife in my hand like this. So it's like we really didn't even have to hide them. Like, we didn't have to hide the knives and shit. That's crazy. So how much time do you end up doing out of that sentence? I did the whole seven. I maxed out. Oh, you lost all your good time.

Lost all my good time. When can you see parole in Georgia? Is there parole? Yeah, different charges got different percentages. Like, this charge might be you have to do 90% of the time. This charge might be 40% of the time. This charge 60, like different charges have different parole stipulations. So what year did you come home?

In the 2023, like September 2023. All right, so just a couple of years ago. Yeah, I've been home two years now. Was it hard adjusting, especially leaving such a violent place for so many years? What's that adjustment like? At some aspects it's hard, but this shit is really like, this shit is really like, my spirit's always high. Like, I never let it break me.

Even going through the stab, it's even being away from my family so long. I always had a phone and try to stay in tune with the outside world. So I'm not as fucked up as I could be. You know what I'm saying? Like, I could have probably, I probably would have been worse off mentally if I didn't have a phone, if I didn't have a support.

Because, like, my whole seven years, everybody was always screaming free ebo, free ebo. Like, I got a strong support system. So I felt like me always be in touch with all my people. Like, a lot of people visited me. A lot of people had money on the phone, money on the books, all that shit. So I was never too far out of tune with the real world. And before I went home, they sent me to a halfway house. So a halfway house is like, you're halfway locked up, halfway free.

Like, we locked up, but they let us wear real clothes. They sent us out. We go work a job and then we come back and be locked up again. So I was getting to see the free world a little bit. So it wasn't just like straight trenches, level five, prison to home. So I feel like that was a good transition for me to being able to transition into being free again. Was it hard to stay away from people that you grew up with, people that you got in trouble with, you know, those types of people? Like now, like, I still got a lot of friends, but I don't got as many friends because when I came home, I've been on some other shit.

shit, like, I'm focused now. I know we ain't got no more time to play. I missed all my 20s, damn there. I got locked up when I just turned 20 years old. I did, I damn there spent my whole 20s in prison. So I don't got time to play. Like, a lot of people that don't have my mindset, like, I fuck with them, but just from a distance.

Like, if you call me, hey, what's up, bro? You're good? I bet, like, keep it pushing, right? But before when we was young, it's like, every day, what's the move? Where are you at? Like, we used to try to just be with each other 24, 7. Like, I'm not on that. Like, if you're not on what I'm on, I'm trying to get some money.

I'm trying to elevate in life. I'm trying to do legal shit. I had started a trucking business as soon as I came home. I ran up some money in prison, a lot of money. When I came home, I bought an 18-wheeler. I put it in the oil field in Texas, like Odessa, Texas. They'd be in Shreveport, Louisiana and shit like that. I had my driver running oil routes and shit like that,

like just trying to go legit and just boss up and leave that shit in the past. And I make music now. So my music been doing real good. I've been doing shows. In the last two years, I probably did that. like 30, 40 shows, out of town, in town. Just focus on music and business. That's it.

Family, God. What did your family think about you going to prison? They hated it. They still love me the same, but they hated it because it was like a shame to the family. Like, because I told you, like, I came up in a good household. Like, my folks wasn't fucked up. Like, they came from Nigeria broke.

Like, they came out here broke, but they ended up stacking their bread up. They was on their shit. Both of them got college degrees. good jobs. Like, we was good. Like, we didn't have every single thing, but we was good. We lived in a nice house, nice area, all that shit. So we really embarrassed them more so anything.

But they still, the love never changed. They still love me the same. How did you have the money to start those businesses from prison? I was selling everything. I was selling meth, selling cigarettes, selling weed, selling cell phones. Like, I'm getting it in. I might catch a guard, a female guard, flirt with her a little bit. Hey, I'll pay you this.

Just bring it in. They'll bring it in. or like, we get goddamn people to come down to the prison and throw the shit over the fence type shit. So if you have that mentality in prison, what's to say you won't have that mentality now that you're out or in the months after release? Because while I was in prison,

this is what I say too. I feel like the government should lock people up. Don't get me wrong. Like some people need to be in jail. But if you truly trying to help somebody, I feel like prison is not the way, for everybody's problems. So I feel like while I'm going through this,

like I literally told you, I got locked up for, I got convicted of a possession of a firearm and a grandma Molly. Do you really think I should do seven years for that? The gun's not stolen. I didn't steal it from nobody.

I didn't kill nobody with this gun. I didn't even commit no robberies on this gun, nothing. The Molly, it's not like I have bricks of this shit where I'm just fucking people life up. Like, I used to pop Molly when I was a young nigga. Like, you feel me?

So what I was actually, I was helping the homeless man. So the action of what I was doing was not worth seven years. So since y'all was wrongfully, I felt like it was wrong. Y'all wrongfully sitting me in this prison for all this time away from my family.

I'm going to capitalize on it while I'm here. But as soon as I come home, I'm going to go legit and never have to come back here again. So people looked at it crazy. Like, oh, you're in prisoning? You still selling drugs? You still doing this?

You ain't learned your lesson? No, I learned my lesson as soon as I got in the back of that police car. I knew then, like, hey, I don't want to do this shit, no more. but you have to adapt to your environment. Like, I was in that environment where I could come home with zero or I can come home with a couple thousand.

So let me come home with a couple thousand. And when I get home, I'm never going to break the law again. And that's just been my mindset. What do you think you've learned over the course of this journey, you know, from getting into trouble as a kid to now? What are the lessons you take away from it? One, less friends is better. Like, I've always been a cool dude since a kid.

Like, pre-K. Like, I had two girlfriends in pre-K. They used to walk me to the car with my mom every day. I kiss one, kiss the other. I get in the car with my mom, literally. Then I, like, since I was a kid, like, all the friends in the neighborhood or friends from school, they come to my house. Like, I didn't go to their house.

Like, my parents didn't let me spend the night at people house. Everybody spent the night at my house. So, like, I was always just used to being around a lot of people showing a lot of love. Like, I got a lot of love for a lot of people. But that'll get you fucked up too, because a lot of people's heart is not as genuine as yours. So I'd just be feeling like the less people you have around, just keep your circle smaller with more solid motherfuckers. Like a couple solid individuals is better than a million wishy-washy people, you feel

me? So that's how I look at it. Like, just try to stay, keep as many, keep as many bad energies away from you as possible. You don't want too many people's energy mixing with you. You don't want too many. And then people like that don't have the same mindset as you. You don't want them around you because that could deter you too. Do you ever see yourself going back to prison?

Is there a world where that happens? Fuck hell shit, no. Hell no. Fuck, no. Never again. I panic when they pull me over for speeding. I don't even speed no more. I got a fucking car that goes so fast.

I got sports plus in that bitch. I never even push that button. I buy by this. I drive like a grandpa because I hate it, bro. Even if I don't have nothing illegal on me and the police blue light me, like my heart just dropped. I hate that shit. I really, I fucking hate the pole.

I hate that shit. Going through that shit, bro. I can't do it no more. I don't got no more bids left in me. I just want to live right now. Well, I, Bo, I appreciate you coming on the show. Thanks so much for an entertaining interview today, man. This is great. No problem, bro. Thank you for having me, bro. Yeah, and now you get back to your vape. Oh, yeah, for sure. Huh. Huh.
