You feel me? Did $10,000 giveaways in my hood. This type of stuff might you might call it corny cuz a [ __ ] doing giveaways. We had to tote.

[00:00:23]We had to had to you know we had to do we had to do. You got to stand on [ __ ] He really is down the way. But people separates the areas though because we so secluded. This is like a a city that'll force you into being something you really ain't even own. For real. When I was a kid, I did want to go buy my first gun at like 12, 13. You a real down away project, [ __ ] Everybody know about the Heaven Train, man. When you from the projects, everybody too gangster now.

[00:01:47]>> All right. So, who we got with us right now?

[00:01:49]>> [ __ ] You got Solo Mafia, man. The infamous Solo Mafia, man. Almighty. You already know. My boy Wan just got out.

[00:01:58]>> And And so where we at currently for the people that's not from Cleveland?

[00:02:02]>> [ __ ] Right now we on we on 55th side of 59th for her. Like this 55th and Purpose right here. So we on my side. This like down the hill of this hood and [ __ ] Like it's like different sets inside this hood and [ __ ] like that. But everybody together in this [ __ ] though.

[00:02:15]>> So what's these called behind us?

[00:02:17]>> Uh we just call these the jets. Like this 59 and Huff right here. These projects. Yeah. Wilson. Yeah. They call Wilson apartments though. But we call them 59 and projects.

[00:02:26]>> So uh tell us a little bit about like the environment over here like the history, the neighborhood, how it was growing up >> type [ __ ] When I was young, this was like a get money block for real though.

[00:02:36]Like [ __ ] around this [ __ ] getting money. All our older [ __ ] and [ __ ] like that. Like it's real deal.

[00:02:40]Millionaires came up out this block of [ __ ] We got all type of boxes and [ __ ] that came up out this [ __ ] All type of [ __ ] Uh, all this [ __ ] looking different though. This [ __ ] starting to get gentrified now though. But like this [ __ ] was abandoned. No grass around here. Abandoned parking lots and [ __ ] everywhere. And then this [ __ ] got treacherous and [ __ ] around like 20 I say 2013 and up. This [ __ ] started getting like bloody.

[00:03:03]>> But like it always been like a school get money blocked for real though. But this [ __ ] turned up now. Like >> that's what I got right now. So, I did do a little research on the neighborhood.

[00:03:13]>> Um, I I did do a little research about the reentrification. So, I'm going to get into that, but I did learn that this neighborhood when it first started was actually like a strong black neighborhood where it was actually the first one of the first neighborhoods that really allowed black people to come in together.

[00:03:28]>> For sure.

[00:03:29]>> Do you feel like it's still like that today or is it like completely gone?

[00:03:32]>> To be honest, it's still like that. a lot of black people around here like in these big houses. When we was little, them [ __ ] was considered mansions to us cuz we stayed in this [ __ ] though. So like a lot of it was a lot of black people that I found out when I grew up and started making nonprofit organizations and [ __ ] like that and I just got out the streets and [ __ ] I started realizing a lot of black people do still own the community though, own these big houses. They don't want to sell out none of that though. But it is this used to be the like downtown for Cleveland too if people ain't know. This was the first downtown of Cleveland. If you go a little bit through the um Huff community, like the Cleveland Spiders played right there um before was the Cleveland Indians and Guardians and [ __ ] was the Cleveland Spiders right there on um Lexington. So this a historical neighborhood too and the Huff Riots was over here like just like how they had the LA riots and all that. This like it's a real historical black neighborhood for sure.

[00:04:21]>> All right, so we are going to I'm going to get a little bit into who you are and what you got going on. But back to the uh the regentification. So, I know that certain um companies are buying it. Uh United Circle, Cleveland Clinic, and the Western University.

[00:04:37]>> So, do y'all feel like what do what do y'all feel like they're doing first?

[00:04:42]>> To be honest, I know you said we're going to get back to what I do, but that was one of my per purpose of speaking up to these people when they was moving in.

[00:04:50]Like, when they was just breaking ground and tearing down the parks and rec centers, I would walk over there on site and speak to the CEOs and stuff like that. Like how is this going to benefit the neighborhood? Like cuz if you shut the wreck down, you shut the park down.

[00:05:02]Now these kids hanging around the dudes with the guns down here. Cuz that's how I was when I grew up. Like I ain't know I was really in the hood for real until stuff got took away. But um a lot of people be trying to help though. A lot of people didn't donated to nonprofits and stuff around here. Did a lot of community events. It's um programs and stuff you can get jobs in. Right across the street at Magnet Manufacturing. They one of the um people that gender find around here too. But I feel like people need to tap more into the real community. Um, like the black community out here, you feel me? Because I see a lot of outsiders moving in here and getting all the funding and getting all the programs and going to the Case Western. Don't nobody over here go to the Case Western University um, programs that they got for the younger kids.

[00:05:47]>> So, what do you think they doing? If they bind it all up right now, what what you think they plan is to turn this like >> um you know how if you go to any other city like Atlanta, New York and [ __ ] like that, you'll go past they downtown and you'll be in their midtown areas. I feel like this they trying to make this back like a hub like that because like I said, this was like a downtown type of area for real. Like so they really trying to make it back into that. They moving a lot of people out to like outer skirts, East Cleveland, Uklid and like in inside they little apartments and [ __ ] like that. So I feel like they trying to make it like a big hub for Cleveland like >> like far as like a downtown, you know, scene like Midtown. It's called Midtown now. Like they naming this whole place Midtown.

[00:06:25]>> So you want to walk a little bit and talk?

[00:06:27]>> So how how do you like feel about that?

[00:06:29]Um them like reshaping the ghetto and making it not the ghetto. Most people that live here won't be here.

[00:06:36]>> I lightweight felt like some type of fury about the situation. I did speak up about it and I do still be trying to like do a lot in in my community and make these people donate to what we got to the cause. Like if we doing an event, if we doing like basketball tournaments, Christmas giveaways, I want to make sure that if y'all say y'all here for the community and not just to get funding off our community, y'all got to tap in to our events and stuff. Y'all got to tap into what the community got going on and stuff like that. I'm not going to say a lot of them ain't been doing it.

[00:07:05]Some of them have been doing it, but a lot of them don't really. I just feel like they want the area because it's like it's a great business hub type of area for real.

[00:07:14]>> Do you feel like even though they Okay, how can we get the people here in the community to flow with the change? Say if you know how even though they are changing it, how can we get the people to here to know that okay we can we can grow, we can afford to live in places like uh where the university is at, you know, and not be left behind. Where do you think that can start at? um coming together coming together and like investing and stuff like that because a lot of people around here like I said this was a good money block and people still be getting money around here so a lot of people get money man but we don't be putting it into the right stuff and some people feel discouraged to go in certain type of rooms and it don't be nothing but a conversation needed and to see that we care actually care about our community you know like this building right here I know a dude from they from a whole another hood but they own that building now >> this brown one right here >> yeah they about to do all type of content man, and space and all type of stuff like that. And nobody even know that's going on right now in the hood.

[00:08:12]And them some black dudes from another hood. Like I feel like we need to start doing more stuff like that, man. We need to tap into our community. Buying these little fields and [ __ ] like this, you know, keeping it maintenance and [ __ ] like that, you know, making gardens, giving back to the community, the food that we producing and all that. Like that's what's going to, you know, put us up there.

[00:08:28]>> All right, let's let's walk around a little bit so they can see the scenery and like could you tell a little bit like about yourself and just over here, you know, how it is growing up over here? versus low income.

[00:08:37]>> This way. We going to walk this way.

[00:08:39]>> Is it like >> Come around.

[00:08:40]>> Let me switch sides with you so they can get the background.

[00:08:43]>> Is it Is the Is the neighborhood like low income? Like what's the struggles over here?

[00:08:47]>> Yeah, it's it's it's a lowinccome um community. CHA.

[00:08:52]Um we used to have like [ __ ] like free lunch. We we basically like down the way. We really is down the way. But people separates the areas though because we so secluded from the like 30th Longwood and like you know but really this the same area. We all on the same map but um yeah it's like it's a low income just like any other project.

[00:09:14]It's the same type of struggle and story going on for real.

[00:09:17]>> So tell tell the people a little bit about you and what everything like you got going on. Um, I came up from this area like just forcefully had to was in this [ __ ] man. You know, waking up, going outside, it's you ducking gunfire, you hungry, you trying to get some money. The regular old hood story for real. But I always thought different though. I always wanted to be the one to invest in my neighborhood and I get put out cuz I already knew it was coming just by what type of area it was, you know?

[00:09:45]>> We used to be big ass field. You going to see when we walk on the outer side.

[00:09:48]used to be big ass fields where we got a Daves a Rainbow Hospital right there. We could have been bought them fields and at least if we wasn't going to do nothing with it, we we could have sold out for some MMS to these big organizations. You feel me? I thought like that. But you got to be in um reality like when you in these type of areas the people they don't even feel like they could even accomplish even opening the store. So that just sounded too farfetched like oh let's buy some land and build on it, you know? So that so another question, how can you get the people here to believe in themselves that they're more than what we constantly see in the ghettos?

[00:10:21]>> Um, just bringing awareness to it. Like when I get on platforms, I try to let people know, man. Like, all right, we can get on here and act gangster all we want, though. You feel me? I'm really from this [ __ ] though. So I feel like it ain't no need for that. Like why are we trying to push the narrative of I'm hood and I'm gangster. You feel me? So I want to be the face of look, I really came from down here. Y'all know what I did.

[00:10:41]Y'all know what I got into, but look what I'm doing now. This type of stuff might you might call it corny cuz a [ __ ] doing giveaways or I'm not doing drill rap or all that, but man, this the stuff that's helping me stay out of jail. This the stuff that's feeding my family when I was in the streets. None of that helped me feed my family. That [ __ ] made me live a worseer life. It made me be paranoid about police or getting killed, you feel me? All type of [ __ ] So, I just want that's what I just started doing and stopped talking, you feel me? I started doing it. started a nonprofit, did $10,000 giveaways in my hood, free lunch, all that, bringing people to like do fun events at the park that just got built over here, tapped in and gave our input of what the community wanted to see out here. I done teamed up with Magnet Manufacturing, Midtown, Cleveland Foundation. So, that's what type of stuff we need to do. Like, we just need to show our people that it's possible and start doing stuff and then coming back. Don't just leave. You see, I I still come to my hood. I still when I get money and get something, I come give it to my hood so they can see like this possible. Like a lot of kids look up to [ __ ] I do. You feel me? So >> So could you could you talk a little bit more about like your past so people can like see a bigger picture and it could be like a testimony to other people around you?

[00:11:51]>> Man, I'm I'm just like how anybody else like that came up in the hood like far as we had to tote. We had to had us, you know, we had to do what we had to do.

[00:11:59]You got to stand on [ __ ] You feel me?

[00:12:01]It was ducking gunfire, you feel me?

[00:12:04]Getting into [ __ ] trying to dodge the police, trying to stay alive, trying to make some money, you feel me? But I never wanted to be that [ __ ] though. I never was a kid that was overly tough.

[00:12:13]It was more of a lot of people like, "Oh, where you from?" or want to fight you or want to jump you for no reason.

[00:12:17]So, I just I just never was like a scary type of person. So, I just always stood up for myself. But, I never wanted to be a hood dude. That was never my motive or nothing like that. I wanted to play football. I had dreams, you feel me, to do a lot of stuff, but my circumstances and the [ __ ] I was around, it's like I was in survival mode, you feel me? So >> So how was it growing up in Cleveland, >> man? It it was like way bloody for real cuz this is like a a city that'll force you into being something you really ain't even own for real. Like I'm a cool [ __ ] Like I was going around playing sports, challenging other hoods like, "Hey y'all want to play my hood in football and [ __ ] like that." Like when I came back from Mississippi cuz I moved from here when I was like 10 years old to Mississippi and [ __ ] Then I came back I was like a regular kid. I ain't I wasn't claiming my hood or nothing. I knew I was from here and my family from here but I wasn't claiming it. It wasn't no gang nothing. I was just walking around in other neighborhoods. When I got back from Mississippi and [ __ ] going to school other places, people would always hit me with the where you from? Like 10, five to 10 [ __ ] Where you from? I ain't from nowhere. I'm I grew up with Whoopton. Just trying to go home. Hey man, all that get and jump and have to run or send my brothers home and I fight about 10 [ __ ] That's what like turned me up. Like I ain't about to keep fighting 10 [ __ ] for no reason.

[00:13:30]And I'm just trying to go home from school. You feel me? So when I was a kid, I did want to go buy my first gun at like 12, 13 and just like when I was walking home from school, ain't nobody want to jump me no more. You feel me?

[00:13:42]>> Exactly. Do you want to uh show around talk a little bit about the area >> right here? This used to be it, man. Our block used to be a fun ass block. A family based block. Like hoods of generations of families stayed in these projects, man. I'm telling you, he like my like the Maxwells scales. Like there's so many people I don't want to leave out, but a lot of people, man, is like families, generations of families stay down here. Some of them still stay down here. We used to play um kickball right here >> and we used to use these trees and [ __ ] for like our bases and [ __ ] It used to be two grills in the front right there.

[00:14:17]We were barbecuing [ __ ] This is like our little community kicking area.

[00:14:20]Everybody, everybody, this was the fans all out here. All the fans that be I'm talking about the whole projects coming out, hanging out the windows, watching the kickball games. It was a ho. So that's why I feel like >> I ain't never know I was in the hood until the good [ __ ] got took away cuz we made the best out of this [ __ ] man. It was free lunch. It was trucks pulling up. It was the the heaven train. You a real down away project, [ __ ] Everybody know about the heaven train, man. when you from the projects. They used to pick us all up from the projects and take us around to every little hood. That's how we was cool with [ __ ] too when we was kids.

[00:14:52]>> They took a lot of [ __ ] like that away from the community. Now would make us ops and beef it and [ __ ] where we used to hang with each other at free lunch and we used to hang with each other at the heaven train man. We used to play each other in CHA baseball. Y'all remember when all the baseball team y'all remember that [ __ ] man? Everybody too gangster. Now what happened to Cleveland, man? This used to be fun, man. This used to be it. It used to be live for real. Like that's how this [ __ ] was, man. Now all this [ __ ] just overly bloody. Like just overly bloody. Like even pulling up today was like way like sketchy. Like we about to go in the hood like cuz I'm a [ __ ] I don't really play the hood no more for real. Like you feel me? This [ __ ] ain't ain't for me no more. You feel me?

[00:15:29]>> You feel Let's uh Can you show them around?

[00:15:32]>> Yeah. Y about to go to the front, man.

[00:15:34]Like this really the back, but we used to call that [ __ ] the front when we was little cuz it was just like so open and like well your ass got to be ready to stand on that stuff on the front, man.

[00:15:44]It's like hotels and [ __ ] businesses and [ __ ] like that all around this [ __ ] >> So So they just pushing everybody out to the outskirts.

[00:15:52]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:15:52]>> So what you think they going to do with these? Knock them down or rehab?

[00:15:55]>> Hell yeah. Look, they going to do like how they doing with if you seen Morris Black. You ever been to Morris Black?

[00:16:00]>> They knocked it down, didn't they?

[00:16:01]>> Yeah. Um I I went in there and did like a little vlog and [ __ ] day [ __ ] before it got took down. But that was one of the What's up with it? Yo, that was one of the biggest [ __ ] projects out here. They knocked that whole [ __ ] down. It's going to be looking like more like luxury apartments. I think they still going to be low income. It's going to be a mixture of low income and like >> What do you think about that? Cuz that's really a issue too. Like >> a lot of people like they knock the projects down, they build better ones, but it's the same issues. Like what do you think about that?

[00:16:30]>> Um >> do you think that really helps?

[00:16:33]I mean, low key for for the look and for the the environment of like outsiders, it might help cuz that's what I feel like they doing for real. I feel like you got to look at this area though.

[00:16:44]They only look like this to make it steal the hood. Like if they was to redo it, that's what that I'm saying. I don't want that. But that's their vision though. Like for real. They want to make this comfortable for outsiders. It's people from Solen and like Strongsville that work in these areas and [ __ ] bro.

[00:17:00]They want to make it to where they got somewhere to live when they move in. I don't agree with it. I feel like I feel like man I do somewhat agree with it, but don't far as if you raising the rent up on the people that's been living down here forever and ain't got nowhere else to go. Then you move them in a worseer area where it's people they can't get along with or something like that cuz that's what be going on too. Like so it's like a hazard for real too though.

[00:17:24]>> Want to introduce this thing?

[00:17:26]>> This this my [ __ ] um this my [ __ ] in the threat. We we call bro sweetie though in the hood. But that like >> ain't [ __ ] sweet about brother this one of the ones like that's that's that's that's his mom name for him though for real. But he it was so real like that we could call him that cuz like we really his brothers though. So it's like >> and I met them when I was a little kid.

[00:17:48]I was a little kid. I don't know what else to call myself. That's what my mom was calling me. So I told them that's what my name was and [ __ ] That [ __ ] stuck.

[00:17:56]>> Yeah. But bro, like bro tell you like these [ __ ] was this color and [ __ ] like you feel me? This [ __ ] he from my side too like Perkins you feel me? Like you feel down here?

[00:18:07]>> [ __ ] was brown [ __ ] that's when I ain't going to fake [ __ ] going up.

[00:18:12]>> So was it dangerous for y'all growing up like in here?

[00:18:16]>> Oh hell.

[00:18:17]>> I I want to say for us like growing up like >> probably for like other people coming in here like Yeah, probably. So like what made y'all get into the the lifestyle?

[00:18:26]Well, before you got out, what made you get into it?

[00:18:29]>> [ __ ] This to be honest, it was like we ain't even try to get in it. We just living in this [ __ ] like every day. Like it's just like going to to school or going to a program and then some [ __ ] like, "Oh, y'all [ __ ] ain't y'all from Huff and just trying to start [ __ ] with you for no reason though." You feel me?

[00:18:44]It just turned to that. And I was like, "All right, now we about to [ __ ] you up." Everybody that start something with us overly got overly [laughter] We like we we the ones off this [ __ ] though for real. Like >> so how like how many of y'all grew up with both parents in the household?

[00:19:03]>> Damn. None of us.

[00:19:06]>> So just just mom or just dad? Just mom?

[00:19:10]>> How yall feel like that affected y'all as being man growing up in the hood?

[00:19:14]Hey, low key. My mom molded me though like into this [ __ ] though cuz your mom be like one of the strongest people like telling you you can't run. Kids trying to beat you and you no lock the door.

[00:19:24]You got to you better go fight them like >> you feel me? My mom like she sold drugs and all that too like to you feel me to like fools and [ __ ] but she didn't went down and [ __ ] But it was just like to see that was like damn my mom really did whatever she had to do to try to you know get us through this [ __ ] for real.

[00:19:41]You feel me? And I feel like we lived a regular life still. We still had a good Christmas have fun and dish, you feel me? Like >> you feel like he was missing in my in my eyes. It feel like Pops weren't even missing cuz my mama was doing everything she was doing and replacing him like that.

[00:19:56]>> But how important do y'all feel like >> having a father in the household? Like how important y'all think that is?

[00:20:01]>> I feel like it's important though. You do need it though cuz it's certain [ __ ] my mama couldn't teach me and it's certain [ __ ] that my brothers couldn't teach me too cuz they ain't how they either. So it's like I don't know. You do need it though. You need you need a father figure in the house for sure because this certain [ __ ] like a dad can tell you fast. This certain [ __ ] your pops probably could tell you that it hit different than anybody else. You feel me? Like I just don't know how it feel to really have that feeling of like how [ __ ] listen to their dad and just got the love for their dad. Like I got friends that is like that though that did have their mom and their dad. So I see the difference of like, all right, if your mom ain't got it, your dad can buy you the shoes or your dad can get you the stuff through like the, you know, little school tech tactics that they have where you got to pay for certain [ __ ] You never ain't have five.

[00:20:46]Damn, mom. You ain't got $5. You got $5 for me to wear no dress code like [ __ ] like that. Like my diamond he I asking him for this [ __ ] like that. Like yeah, I'm about to go on a field trip. I need aund up in receipts. Charles receipts like yeah, tell mom where that's at. I'm like, whoa, what?

[00:21:04]>> That's a type of >> like I ain't going to fake that. Made me look at it different though. That's why I'm like, "Boy, you just my [ __ ] now. When I came home, just a homie. Don't all that father [ __ ] I ain't going to disrespect you. I still call you pops, but you my homie."

[00:21:18]>> I'm good. When my dad died, I ain't even My mom like, "Man, you got to respect him though. At least go see him before a [ __ ] last breath." I ain't even I couldn't feel no type of way. Like, I don't know how to feel about you, gang.

[00:21:29]You want me to be sad, bro? Like I respect you though, just off the strip.

[00:21:33]That's what my mom told me to do. But like I ain't I couldn't feel nothing for my dad when he died though. Like >> wasn't here. [ __ ] >> tight.

[00:21:41]>> You want to walk a little bit?

[00:21:42]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:21:43]>> All right. All right. Uh beside beside >> Let her know. Damn. Let her know, bro, bro.

[00:21:49]You got to let her know that what's going on around this [ __ ] >> I don't even think he know y'all walked away.

[00:23:13]>> Like or moving in here and [ __ ] like we like the dinosaurs of this [ __ ] But we still young [ __ ] over here.

[00:23:18]>> We like dinosaurs of this [ __ ] for real.

[00:23:22]>> Old bricks. This was a rec center.

[00:23:53]>> Nothing around.

[00:23:54]>> No. Like that's how I feel when these communities I mean these [ __ ] businesses coming in and they got communities for people to come and do art and come and do all that. We got artists down here too. Damn that [ __ ] wouldn't been no felon if we had the programs and [ __ ] to get in and [ __ ] like that too. We got sports [ __ ] and [ __ ] that know how to rap. They got studios coming around this [ __ ] performances. But it's all for suburb people and white people that you never heard of though. Like why can't we come open up at these new events centers and [ __ ] like that? like why can't we do art and do like you feel me the programs that y'all got at Case Western and and at Cleveland Foundation and [ __ ] like that like feel me? That's that's where the light way help the community like a lot like it's a lot of these kids right here that's getting influenced and they might turn into one of the good [ __ ] from over here cuz they don't got the resources just little simple little [ __ ] to keep them on track. You feel me? [ __ ] like that cuz really like our hood bigger too. This [ __ ] expanded like cuz if you know you from 59 though like this [ __ ] wasn't part of like the other part of Huff. You got Huff Harlem, then you got Huff Nights Heights, then you got 59 like cuz really this hood was beefing with that part of Huff and [ __ ] too.

[00:25:14]Like this ain't a part of us. Like this just 55th and then this H world right here. Little traction right here. These like the newer generation [ __ ] like from around this [ __ ] cuz what's up with y'all?

[00:25:35]Say this little c cuz he one of the ones too. Like for sure like this my little cousin though. He big as [ __ ] now. But like he from the sixth like that's why I always sound like this [ __ ] like 59th to 73rd for real. Like it's like it's it's a newer generation type of [ __ ] for real. Like so yeah. Like but this [ __ ] used to be like separated for real like blocks like older [ __ ] used to be beefing and [ __ ] All type of [ __ ] like that for real.

Like and our little blocks within here type [ __ ] >> We got [ __ ] in the op [ __ ] too. So, what's like the history in Cleveland?

[00:26:41]How is it in Cleveland as a whole?

[00:26:43]>> What you mean? Like just being out here in Cleveland?

[00:26:45]>> Know the culture and all that.

[00:27:39]So, even what's the biggest difference from even though it's two different cities, what's the biggest difference from East Cleveland and Cleveland?

[00:27:46]>> Um, East Cleveland more like like how dude was saying on your [ __ ] that was a suburb for real once upon a time. It's a whole another city. East Cleveland like Cleveland Heights. It ain't like Cleveland Heights obviously from the the conditions of it. But it's far as like how it's set up. It's like a little another little city in Kyhoga County for real. They got their own down. I don't know if they got a downtown. They got their police departments and school systems and all that. It's just another city for real.
