Street Legends 2
Vol 2 This isn't fiction. This is real life. This is the stuff those stories are based on. Through their own words, words of those that were around at the time, the media and court records, Ferranti recounts the history of some of the most notorious. The section I found particularly interesting and also ironic involves a well-known street lit publisher and author that helped in the downfall of one crew by becoming a government witness, a clear contradiction of the genre, to reduce her own sentence.by Seth Ferranti
Vol 2 “Seth Ferranti knows plenty of street legends as he has spent the past seventeen years of his life incarcerated with many of them. Street Legends Vol. 2 delves into the legends of some of the most noted street figures of the 21st century. Seth brings the harsh reality of America's narco-history to a new generation, introducing them to iconic names such as the Boobie Boys, Miami's ultra-violent crew of killers. Also featured are Short North Posse, out of Columbus, Ohio, who was snitched on by Triple Crown publisher Vickie Stringer. The New World Islamic bank robbers were a band of brothers bent on bettering their lives, by any means. Maurice "Peanut" King, was one of Baltimore's most innovative kingpins ever, and last but never least is Frank "Black Caesar" Matthews, who went from chicken thief to national chief of a black mafia. After being arrested and charged as a kingpin, Matthews bailed out and vanished with a purported twenty million cash out, never to be seen again.” Hip-Hop Weeklyby Seth Ferranti
