O
ur youth, children, our seeds must be truly aware of what they are up against and what their real potentials in life are! They are not going for the higher levels they are in a lot of cases just chasing a dollar with no direction. I say seeds because we as parents must plant the right ideas in their heads. We owe it to our children, yours, mines and everyone in our communities that they are not to think they're to be limited to a certain level of existence and behavior. They are capable of being more than what newspapers call them or politician's reckless outlaws and incompetent lazy youth! The number of individuals who make it in the game is so small and insignificant compared to the number of how many have caught a life sentence it's ridiculous. It just looks good from the outside but anyone who is truthful knows that there is a whole lot of blood, sweat, & treachery literally and what comes along with that you may not be ready for. Life in the game is not life a rap video you don't get 10-20 takes to get it right sometimes your one and DONE!!! THAT MAY BE YOUR FATE! Our youth and children have the potential to be in the ranks of black professionals Doctors, Lawyers, Computer Techs, Wall Street CEO's but they have to understand sacrifice is what made these men and women along with encouragement to stay in school. Our youth and children have to be taught that it is the right thing to do again by people they think are cool also. It is cool and right to be a student, to work and dream of being your own boss legally. They are to be taught that you are expected to be the best, to gain ground, grab opportunities make the best of them and work hard. Nothing is done overnight. No empire was built overnight. Nobody is to be called a lame or square because they choose to go to school and do whets right by becoming professionals. We don't need discouragement we need encouragement. People can be so miserable or blinded that they employ the word "can't" when it come to our youth. We have over 1 million black men in FED jails and growing. How many black lawyers do we have? To try and get good and fair representation in court. Our children have to want more, the levels and standards have to be raised, out children and youth can compete not just physically but in intellectually given the chance and encouragement by their own people. No matter what walk of life we've been on. It's time to give back.

SC: What's up Big Boi, take a minute and tell the STREET CONSEQUENCES family a little bit about yourself! Ali: Absolutely, my name is Ali "Zoe" Adam. I was born in Jermaine Haiti. In 1983 I fled the poverty stricken Island along with 15 close relatives seeking a better life in America. We made our home in Miami. I lost three uncles in route to the United State. The journey was like the Middle Passage in Slavery. I have 1 little sister and no brothers. After being released from the immigration detention facility my family moved to Carol City. The recent pictures of the immigrants in detention centers that have been all over the news brought back memories of how it was when I first came to this country. SC: What made you and your family leave Haiti? Ali: Jean "Papa Doc" Duvilai was a brutal dictator when I was growing up in Haiti. He was feared and with good reason. It was not unheard of for him to line up 75 people and have them executed (shot in the head) for just being suspected of betrayal. This was the violence that I understood up close and personal! SC: How was Miami back in the day when you first hit the streets? Ali: "Cocaine Cowboys"... Urban, political and social historians got it right, bricks, slabs, birds or whatever you call them were EVERYWHERE. Miami was literally raining kilograms of cocaine. It was Cocaine Heaven for those in the life. The Cubans, Jamaicans and Haitians brought the word COWBOYS to it! SC: Tell us how the name Zoe Pound came up? Ali: There were five guys in the Dad County jail who laid the foundation for the Zoe-Pound! Gangue "Big Chubb" Rashad who died in 19996 (R.I.P.) won the biggest fight ever back then. He beat the shit out of one of Miami's legendary back-yard brawlers, who would later go on to garner fame and riches as the baddest bare-knuckle fighter in Miami, I’m talking about none other than Kimbo Slice. R.I.P. to the homeboy Kimbo. We called the five homeboys "The War Daddy’s”. They were known for crushing other niggaz that was locked down in the Dade County jail. Word soon spread and everybody was talking about them "Zoe's". Zoe is a Creole word which means BONES. It referred to the knuckles (bones) of the hand. We had our own floor in the Dade County jail. Nobody wanted to come to our floor. If you wasn't fucking with them Zoe'syou knew what time it was. Shout-out to Junk, No-No, Kenray and Chubb! When Chubb got out of prison he named theDope-hole/White house ZOE and after that Dogg Pound said Zoe-Pound!
6
SC: So, is that how you came up with the DESCRIPTION in the Bad Boyz II Movie which stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence 'of robbing boats at Port-au-Miami? Ali: In 1999 producer Jerry Bruckheimer and writers Ron Shelton and Jerry Stahi Paid me to do a re-do of the Zoe-Pound movie in their way, but a nigga got fucked in that deal. They did say the name Zoe-Pound in Bad Boyz II seven times. Anyway, I used to tell Gabriel Union that she wouldn't have ever gotten away with that bag. She just smirked and said "OMG, I can't believe you were like that" lol SC: What's the most bricks you ever rob for? Ali: In 1994 we hit for 425 bricks! We damn near went broke in 9 months because we were selling bricks for 6 and 8 bands, crazy shit like that. We were riding limos everywhere. We started blowing money real fast way before Big Meech did. Shout out to the homey Meech. SC: We were are the original 19 members of the Zoe-Pound? (Let me know if you need me to name everybody).lol Ali: Six are dead, seven are in prison, four were deported and two their whereabouts are unknown. I'm doing this shit (interview) so I don't allow myself to be victimized for the rest of my life! SC: Your mother and both of your baby mama's were indicted for Money Laundering over 35 million, and you a kingpin charge for over 8,000 kilos of cocaine, plus 13 other charges. Elaborate! Ali: Yeah, 78 niggaz and about 12 hoe's testified on a nigga and them crackers kept me in a ONE MAN CELL FOR 33 MONTHS, stripping the hell out of a nigga. They took, or should I say they stole my Subways, Dairy Queen, Coin Laundry service, 14 homes etc. Shit is crazy my nigga how these crackers don't lose. SC: I heard Graylin Kelly, one of your co-defendants shot two police officers on your case? Ali: Yeah, fool beat three murder cases back in 1991, but in 2007 he did shoot both crackers when they pulled him over. He's doing 15 years for it now, but he's so cold. When I saw him in the Federal building he kept saying "I can't believe these crackers didn't kill me". Lol.. I kept saying "We good"... but?
7
SC: C.N.B.C's show 'American Greed', which is not Gangland or Another 48, did a segment on you and your Zoe-Pound Crew. Did you trust your accountant with 12 million dollars as they said? If you did, why? Ali: The Hoe-Ass- fuck Accountant understood my inadequacy of keeping track of the books. He was unworthy really to be around my presence. The American Greed documentary showed how he robbed me for 22 million dollars. As we speak my people are fighting a lawsuit about the bread that he took from me and my family. FUCKING CROOK! SC: How many record deals did you have in all and name the artists? Ali: House of Fire Records Artist, Rawlo Boyz with Blackground Records, Freddy P with Puffy's Bad Boys, Smity with J-Records and mostly consulting gigs with several record labels. SC: Is it true that you burnt Lil Wayne's Phantom Rolls Royce because on a 2-Chainz song he mentioned riding thru with an M-16 looking for somebody? Ali: 2-Chainz is out of line for that remark on that song. Fool's be just talking, not knowing what they be saying. Social Media took over and gangster's giving out passes, so it is what it is. SC: They say Suge Knight didn't shoot himself in Miami, do you have any comment or views on that? Ali: It's sad that a nigga on Earth wants to be a 100 million dollar bully... He's shot-out to tell you the truth.
SC: You are the only friend out of 45 people that didn't testify on Ex-manager Extraordinaire Jimmy Henchman who managed the likes of Mike Tyson, Brandy, The Game etc.. and he got sentenced to Life plus 230 years. Ali: That's my friend! Wyclef introduced me to him in 1999! He has no idea how he became my mentor. Just Google James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond... LIKE DAT!
8
SC: With what's going on with R-Kelly do you regret extorting and putting out the infamous R-Kelly sex tape? Ali: Men use to tell me not to be distracted by the fear of losing. He's focused on what he had to do to win without drowning in his own negativity that was evident...:) SC: Writer Jermaine Atkins wrote a book on you that's on Amazon.com called Zoe Pound Mafia, How's the sales? Ali: Sales are great.. Get the book "ZOE POUND MAFIA" at Amazon.com Kindle and Barnes and Nobles. SC: The current Lil Wayne and Baby saga with endless lawsuits, what's your opinion on it? Ali: Money usually cause a nigga to switch. The Lil Wayne and Baby situation gets played over and over again. Look at Jay-Z and Dame, Don King and Mike Tyson. A nigga helps another nigga get up there and a nigga starts feeling like he don't need a nigga. I went through that shit with the ZoePound. I was pushing the issue with the producers and writers for the Bad Boyz II project. I was doing it for the Pound, for my homies and I gave them the bread because I was already a millionaire, but niggaz started thinking fucked up instead of looking at the situation for what it was. Ain't no Lil Wayne without Baby, but it's still a Baby without Lil Wayne and that's real talk. Money changes everything. SC: So, is Rick Ross from the mean streets of Miami? Ali: Boobie from the Boobie Boyz said Ross is official. Boobie is Carol City, Ross was raised in Carol City, WHICH NO MAN CAN DENY! Plus, he did him! Shit was the Cocaine Cowboy era and we are the same age. SC: There are so many questions I want to ask you, so bear with me a little longer. Your friend Wyclef almost became president of Haiti, do you hear from him? Ali: Those 33 months I did was to really monitor who I was calling and writing, I slipped up and wrote some people and the government subpoenaed all of their asses after I wrote or called. They all ran, but some still holla, but prison is my lowest man. SC: Michael "Patrick" Sullivan who prosecuted the President of Panama Manuel Noriega, Willie Falcon, Sal Muguta and prosecuted you, do you think he was fair? Ali: Sullivan is 1,322-2 as far as win loss record. He's very fair and has tremendous instinct. Listen, you get no apologies from the USA and that's word to all other 195 nations. These people don't play. SC: Any future projects you have coming out? Ali: YES! It's called "The Hip-Hop Republican Manifesto"! It's on Amazon .com NOW!!! This is the truth at its finest! It's shutting out all the noise, negativity, fear, distractions and lies! YEAHHHH- IT'S CUT LIKE THAT!
9
SC: I want to ask you, why did Foxxy Brown and Jackie-O fight over you? I saw the DVD Beef 3! Please share with my readers. Ali: DAMN! Someone I.G. Foxxy and called her WATER and watched what she said. Jackie -O tripped out and made me REP MIAMI!!! Slick Bitch..smdh SC: One more.lol... D.J Khaled blew up! Ali: WOW, He use to DJ for $100 back in the day! I can't wait to throw that in his face..lol... My nigga, thanks for the portion of that lawyer money. SC: The I.G. page pacjam305 is a site to check you out with historical Miami gangsters? Ali: Love Dat look.. Love Dat look for 2018, Fill me!!!

H
i my name is Lisa legendary Banks but most of you know me as Dear Lisa the real one. I earned that name, and this is my place to communicate with you. What you can always depend on me to do for you is enlighten you. I’m bringing the noise, it’s up to you to hear it. First, let me apologize, I took a small break from the responsibilities that comes with a being Dear Lisa. I am an empath and that life can be quite draining at times. Empaths are emotional sponges, we absorb other people‘s emotional energy and physical symptoms in our own body. A few years back I wasn’t knowledgeable about being an empath. I didn’t know anything about my own gifts. I was what they would call a disempowered empath. I didn’t have the skills to center and protect myself, so I suffered with chronic fatigue, exhaustion, and depression. For a while my gifts felt more like a curse rather than a gift. I became afraid of absorbing other people’s energy because I didn’t know how to release it. Fast forward to today, after years of research and study, I have developed an awareness of myself that has wowed even me. Today I consider myself an empowered empath and my gifts or plentiful they include but not limited to: intuitiveness, compassion, openness, and more. I have a deep connection with nature, it helps recharge me when I’m depleted. My free spirit have taken me on spiritual journeys that I did not know exist before now. I am healing deeply, and I’m proud of being unique. I am me and there is only one of me. My life has took twists and turns, struggles and battles, that I could not have predict. I had questions like, why I had to spend 15 years of my life in prison, or like, why wasn’t I blessed with or cursed with kids, or why my grandparents who raised me had to die while I was incarcerated. But one day, it suddenly all made sense. Whatever I was going through it was a part of my growing process, and I chose to learn and then move on. I realize that I’m strong-
er than any
problem I have. Everything that happens in life have a deeper meaning that’s much bigger and much greater than myself. There’s no mistakes in life, only lessons. I made all the right choices even the ones that didn’t feel like they were right. I am who I chose to be. Today I’m inspired to make choices that are for my ultimate good. Life is love, and I choose to be a beautiful expression of life. I’m asking you to make the same decision. Take the time to learn who you are, and what you came here to do. You don’t determine what your purpose is, you discover it. Life throws you plenty of clues. How you react to events is a personal choice. Be flexible to change. Lessons will keep reappearing in your life until you learn them and move forward. Treat others with love and respect and in return you will get love and respect. The image you see in the mirror staring back at you is only your physical image, and that’s only a very small fraction of who you are. We are spiritual beings that came to this earth to do something great. No matter where you at, or what you are doing, you are blessed with many things to be grateful. Let’s make this world a better place to live in. It a starts with you!

SC: Introduce yourself to the Street Consequences Reader. What is your name and Where are you from? JA: What’s going on Street Consequences readers, my name is Jermaine Atkins and I’m from Rochester, New York.
What was your childhood like? JA: My childhood was fun. I would say we grew up middle class, we traveled, every summer we went somewhere my mom believed in getting out and see what other people live like different cultures soak it in it helps you see things different. My mom side of the family is from Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Detroit; My Dad is from Richmond Virginia so we would always stop through those cities and all over the south. (Side note I’m going to need some of you dudes to stop lying saying you been outside since 9 yrs. old and shit was terrible nothing is wrong with your parents having decent jobs and providing for you) I’m the youngest of 4 brothers (R.I.P. Walter Jr) then we moved on a street (Roslyn St) where it was like 15 older guys so I always came in last in everything for YEARS but it’s actually a great experience to go through because you live to get a win any way you can it makes you fearless. I have a younger sister who is the baby and she hated growing up with us because we made the rules for her lol but my sister Trisha is my role model no matter what dark stages I went through she always keep the light on for me. Of course we had tough times financially but we made it through, way more good days then bad ones. My mom made sure we were super straight . SC: You grew up in Rochester, NY, what was that experience like, how is it similar or different from Others city's? JA: Growing up in Rochester it’s was fun I was active in activities, summer camp, all sports, rec leagues, neighborhood sports wars, fights, manhunt you name it but Rochester is also very violent it is the murder capital for New York State. You learn young that things can go way left fast. It’s not bloods and Crips that control it that’s not big it’s where are you from what neighborhood, Ave, block, that’s mostly who you run with or dudes you grow up with. A city full of so many talented people but at times it’s a dark cloud over it. We find a way to tear some shit up. Different from other cities because it’s not gang based and it’s not big but it had the factory jobs and it’s really independent hustlers it’s a lot like Detroit and Oakland.
17
SC: You were born with athletic talents and it got you into college, then one of your brothers got Convicted of a murder and that was a turning point in your life. What were the thoughts that you Wrestled with at that period in time? JA: Yes I grew up in the go outside and play era plus I had older brothers, cousins, uncles, and my dad who were all into sports so you become very competitive at a young age so I excelled at sports. I played football, basketball, track, I can swim, bowl, wrestle whatever you want to do let’s go lol. I say give me my friends give us instructions in whatever sports related and we will win. Yes football was my life and I was going to go away to Texas to go to school and earlier that year my brother got arrested for murder and anybody that knows me knows my brother really raised me he was like my pops when I was younger but as I got older he was very important in my life. It’s funny because even though I looked up to him other than sports we don’t like any of the same stuff. I’m laid back more reserved, that dude attitude is so short he is the true definition of the zodiac sign Cancer. It never was pressure to do what he did he always stressed be your own person. That summer came his trial was about to start and I felt like going to Texas was leaving him behind and I couldn’t do it so I went to Junior College in Buffalo NY. Once he got convicted it was like deflating I was sad, angry, emotionless because I didn’t want to seem weak be strong for others. I was halfway in college halfway mind gone just saying man 25 to Life. I had a good season but I was half ass it in my opinion and it still came easy where if I went to Texas it would’ve forced me to lock in because I wouldn’t have been so close to the situation. SC: I asked that because the decisions that you made after that played a major role in the consequences That followed. You. Did turned to the streets the streets solve your problems? JA: I needed money for school that I didn’t have or could get that left me super frustrated and I took the easy way out and said I’m turning to the streets, it’s called a quick fix but did it solve my problems HELL NO it’s an illusion. I’m a numbers guy BIG on the numbers. Take every penny you make in the streets (most guys only get a few summers to run it up) you get locked up spend it all in bail (if your saving) bills, lawyer, I have yet to see a person come home and say oh the money I made I still have and never look or take part in the game again. I’m talking about doing prison time years not months. If you can make $10k cash in the streets you can easily have a successful business you own, because if you get money you know MOST dudes who say they get money do NOT have $10k in the cut so stop telling these kids lies. SC: To all of us who go into the streets, it's a life like another world, late nights, early mornings, women, Money, material things, as well as always looking over our shoulders. What did you learn about yourself? And other people when you were in the streets?
18
JA: My brother, cousins, all their friends were all in the streets I was around them a lot they would never let me deal with any of it but I saw A LOT and would go out to the clubs with them OT with them so I knew young if you’re in position people will deal with you just to be around some money or around a winning situation, also everyone you think tough isn’t really tough. You have your hustlers, you got robbers, you have guys who carry guns shoot in the air to keep you off them, you got shooters, and you got killers big difference. As Vic (R.I.P.) said it best when I was young, “Jay these niggas is liers they going to tell you niggas know not to play with them they do this and that but his homies done been killed, he been shot or shot at, and he carry a gun WHY because them other niggas don’t give a damn about none of that killers get put on T-Shirts every summer” I didn’t get it then but when I got older I fully got it. I learned I can adapt to ANY situation I’m put in, and stupidly I would go anywhere in country or out to find a situation. SC: The ride ended and you got caught up. You went on the run for 7-8 months and turned yourself in, and then you did 6 years in NY state prison system. Did prison help or make it worse? Explain? JA: I didn’t go on the run I bailed out and was out 6-7 months before turning myself in at sentencing. Never go on the run because if you’re a flight risk you can’t get bail and things can go a lot better for you if you can fight your case from the streets. PRISON MADE ME WORSE!!! I’ve never said this but it made me worse because I know “mentally” I can do the time and that scares me. I can locked in get into my routine and bid so I said I have to walk away from this because I do NOT want to go back but the numbers are not in my favor and I’m not telling so time it will be. I wasn’t looking for help in that jungle I was on if any danger comes we leaving the jail I’m not going home scared. SC: Our feature article is from Ali Adam of ZOE POUND MAFIA. You are the author of that book. What lead you into writing? Ali from the streets I was on parole getting into things so I needed to do something positive that would keep me busy and in the house so I said let’s do this story because it’s a very good one. I’ve always been into writing, JA: I knew movies, TV shows, I’m into all kinds of good content. So instead of someone who isn’t from this world tell the story let me do it SC: How did you connect with Ali Adam and what intrigued you about his story? JA: I met Ali from going down to Miami to shop. This guy Black (R.I.P.) used to have me waiting for hours chasing girls doing all kinds of stuff I went down like 3 times and this time I’m waiting and he said you still waiting on Black follow me went to a house and it went from there. If you know anything about the Zoe Pound Movement you know their story is amazing and perfectly made for TV if done right.
19
SC: Tell Why Ali Adam story and not the Founder Mac Zoe? JA: I don’t know Mac-A-Zoe when I started partying and going to Miami big dog was already locked up so I never got the chance to meet him. I hear nothing but good things about him so it wasn’t a pick one or the other I just know Ali, but Mac-A-Zoe story definitely needs to be told.
SC: What do you think intrigues people about his street life? JA: I think people are intrigued because if you were around or heard the stories third party you saw the game being played at the highest level and you feel man if that nigga can do it so can I and even if you’re not in the game you say how is this possible how??? America is built on murder, money, sex, coming from nothing and taking over so it’s in the DNA of what people want to watch SC: As an author what would be your most idealistic writing piece? In other words, what would be the ultimate Thing for you to write? JA: I don’t have one thing I look at as the ultimate thing to write. Publication will last forever so I feel you need to tap into layers of writing don’t just make it one thing or one subject because then your box yourself in with no room to grow as a writer. So if it catches/moves me I would write on pretty much anything. SC: Tell us about your other business ventures? JA: I’m in the process of starting my production company I want to put these stories/scripts I have written on TV/Movies because we are living in the golden age for content consumption. Put it out and if it’s good no matter the outlet the people will get behind it and support it... I’m trying to get an App developed now I’m in the beginning stages of that getting that off the ground with the structure… I do shows in Miami at Cameo and Charlotte is coming very soon. I bring artist to clubs/venues have a great night then plan the next event not a every weekend thing Few other things up my sleeve but I have to keep them under wraps so nobody steals my idea lol
20
SC: How hard was the transition coming out of street life and prison? What were the obstacles? JA: The transition is VERY hard because you have to make a decision “in the game or out the game” not one foot in one foot out, or your cutting your potential short. The main obstacle is You don’t want to be broke and have people talk down on you that your washed up a jail bird threw your life away so you want money to show them I’m back on my feet now what you have to say that is a tough pill to swallow but fuck them just grind it out stick to your plan (make it within reality) actually work hard at it 10,000 hours later with many fails and setbacks and it will work itself out for the better. These crackers will do any and everything to get you jammed up so don’t give them a reason it’s hard but don’t let them win. SC” What words of wisdom would you give to those who view the streets as the life they want to get into? JA: Advice don’t be someone’s fool some people because of their parents or people that raise them really never had a fair shot a life so if you’re in the game have an exit plan and stick to it, if you’re doing it for a fad because you want the easy way out get ready to be cased up and headed to prison within the year unless your got to tell. Everybody can’t and for damn sure won’t be Big Meech your too lazy don’t think and not taking trips so just sit down somewhere for the simple fact “YOU TALK ON THE PHONE TOO MUCH” your giving yourself an indictment. Always remember “Everyday you’re in the streets you have to get lucky all day everyday to NOT go to jail, the police only have to get lucky ONE TIME and they can change your life forever” SC: What encouragement can you give to those who are struggling to not go down that road, or to change? And come out of it? JA: The storm will ALWAYS pass if you fully apply yourself and GET ON A BUDGET. You must save if you have a job 75/25 your checks add a side hustle you can sell everything on the internet but it’s going to be ugly for a second but you can’t have a hustlers mind and budget working all your money will go to your unnecessary habits and keep you in the red. Stay out the way and attack your plan everyday win or lose. Only you know if you really want to change if you don’t then don’t lie to yourself or you’ll be on spin cycle.
21
SC: Street Consequences Magazine would like to say thanks for allowing us to conduct this interview Thanks for your time and your story. Any shout out's you want to give before we go?

How did that go? A : I first started making music in the studio when I was 15 years.

Majik Mone’t. I am a 23 year old signed model born and raised in the small city of Buffalo, in upstate NY. I have been modeling since the young age of 8 years old. It all started when I came home crying to my family about how all my classmates bullied me and called me all type of mean names like “darky” or “blacky”. As if it was a “bad thing” to be dark skin. Being so young, I didn’t know any better. I became very insecure. My grandmother didn’t like that. She quickly fixed that problem. She took me to a modeling agency and they loved me. Ever since I’ve been dedicated and consistent. No matter what struggle I have been through, and
I’ve been through way more than you could ever imagine, I’ve never let it keep me down. I am now signed to Otto Models in Los Angeles, California! Every time you fall, stand right back up!

THE POWER OF WRITTEN WORDS By: Myron "BG Armstrong
W
hat is the purpose of life? Some of us find it hard to answer this enigmatic question. Through life we all experience highs and lows. The question that remains is, is there a meaning behind our experiences? Life consists of choice, if not taken seriously, people never realize that at the end of the rainbow waits punishment and pain. Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle, it’s a game. It's all about controlling minds and you have to learn to control your own before you can control someone else's. Life has taught me that you can't control someone's loyalty. No matter how good you are to them, doesn't mean they'll treat you the same. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn't mean they'll value you the same. Sometimes the people you love the most, turn out to be people you can trust the least. We all learn something from everyone who passes through our lives... Some lessons are painful, some are painless... But all are priceless. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come. When we realize that life is not fundamentally physical, but mental and spiritual it will not be hard for us to see that by a certain mental and spiritual process we can demonstrate what we want. Often we find ourselves confronted by the problem of how to begin. When we find ourselves in this position, we have to have the ability to move and shake like a chess player. You might make a move today, but what you're really doing is setting yourself up for ten moves ahead. No matter the situation, never let your emotions over power your intelligence. We just don't meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our path for a reason. The hardest thing in life is to learn which bridge to cross and which to burn. The one thing we have to offer in the life of any real value is our time to others. Life consists of choices, we can choose forgiveness and to see divinity in each person. This choice gives us a fulfillment of life, sometimes the heart see what is invisible to his eye. This is a game of predator and prey. To master the game of life you must become a master and respect all its rules. You can't figure out why a snake moves the way it does. That's like you trying to
figure out why Stevie Wonder could leading Ray Charles somewhere. The key is to recognize and accept the snake for what it is, but never try to befriend or reform it. Can you detect smokeless fire? It’s all kinds of haters and we have all hated on somebody before. The hater can be detected in others only by studying it in yourself. Smokeless fire is desire, greed, and envy in any person. It’s that raging fire that can burn inside while a smile and a kind word remain on the surface. Life is a mirror, and we only find ourselves reflected in our associates. Living in the past is a failure method and a violation of spiritual law. Man or female receives only that which they gives. The game of life is a game of boomerang's, a person’s thoughts, deeds and words return to them sooner or later with an astounding accuracy. So be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matters don't mind, you can’t change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react and who you choose to be around. Once you lose sight who’s on your team, and who is against you it will always be a hater within ones circle who will never give you the credit you deserve. I was always told if you keep talking about a hater eventually you will turn into a hater. So fuck what they think of you or say, do you. You can’t change someone who doesn't see an issue in their actions. Real situations will always expose fake people! A negative mind will never give you a positive life. Old ways won’t open new doors either. So don't put a question mark where there should be a period. When something is over move on to the next chapter. Trust can take years to build and a second to break. Remember when you were little and someone used to always say be careful who you choose as your friends? Well, that advice doesn't change with age, your friends, or running partners will either help bring you up or take you down. They can be asset or liabilities. "Birds of a feather flock together". If you hang around 4 broke motherfuckers you're bound to be the 5th one. If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl, but if you associate yourself with eagles you learn how to soar to great heights. So be careful who you
stop to inquire directions from along this road of life. Your friends will sometimes stretch your vision or choke your dream! You have to be a professional sucker ducker now days. Always observe the people around you.
39
If people are hating on you, that means you are doing something right. The more a hater talks about you good or bad, the more people want to know about you. Everybody loves a winner. Misery loves company and so does prosperity. Never put too much trust in friends or people that you just meet. Sometimes people will take your style and try to make people think it’s really theirs. Shit, you can’t get mad at that because the people who hate or imitate you more often want to be you. That's why you got to do things in a way that makes people want to follow your lead. See I'm trying to take you from the ghetto streets to an executive suites, from the ghetto blocks to Wall Street stocks. I came from the sewer to and entrepreneur, from the dope tracks to street consequences office fax! I went shopping like a Muslim prays! Five times a day. See a hater hates when a winner talk shit LOL and backs it up. One of the most freeing things we learn in life is that we don't have to like everyone, everyone doesn't have to like us. I guess the real fact of the matter is... We don't know what tomorrow will bring, and the only thing we really have is, right now. So don't stay mad at s player hater for too long. Learn to forgive and love with all your heart. Live everyday of your life the way you want to live it. Don't worry about people who don't like you, enjoy the ones who love you. When you forgive you don't change the past, you change the future! Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it! Most people do not listen with the intent to understand. Most people listen with the intent to reply. So pay close attention to what I'm trying to tell you. These streets are 40% of your mind, 5% muscle, 10% struggle, 10% time and 35% hustle. When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch up to you. Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. As we grow up, we realize it becomes less important to have more friends and more important to have real ones. Making a hundred friends is not a miracle. The miracle is to make a single friend who will stand by your side even when hundreds are against you. The game of life is comprised of a series of events. These experiences an emotions are like a human guidance system. It will
teach us our likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. If you pay close attention to your negative and positive responses to life's incidents they will guide you to the realization of where your natural gifts lie. Every experience is refining your skills and guiding you closer to a more intimate knowledge of yourself. All of you divine gifts, talents, and natural skill can lead to a business that brings us sense of purpose. Best of all, our lives will be relatively easy because we would have built our welfare off of things that we enjoy and come naturally to us. Everyone has a purpose on this earth, but few actually realize what their purpose really is. A lot of people spent their entire lives searching to find the reason for their existence. When people say everything happens for a reason they forget it applies to the good and the bad. All the power and intelligence of the universe is already within, waiting to be utilized so you got to stay in player mode at all times. We are not sure what we want to do; we see no way to being anything; see nothing to begin on, when we find ourselves in this position. Just look around you people in here watch the same shit over and over and wonder why people don't want to come around them. I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone, it’s not. The worse thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel all alone. Never forget how far you've come; everything you've gotten through. All the times you've pushed on even when you felt you couldn't. All the time you wanted to give up but you got through yet another day.Never forget the strength you've developed along the way. Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift that's why it’s called the present. Sometimes we must fail in order to know, sometimes we must lose in order to gain, because some lessons in life are best learned through pain. Life asked Death why do people love me, But HATE you? Death responded because you are beautiful lie and I'm the painful truth. I read this quote in a book it is so truth. In the blink of an eye everything can change.

S
o forgive and love with all your heart, you may never know you may not have a change again, So when you ask God to show you the truth about someone, be certain you are ready for the revelation because reality is NOT always pretty. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. The pain you feel today is the strength you feel tomorrow. For every challenge encountered there is opportunity for growth. No one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. Don't regret the things you've done, regret the things you didn't do when you had the chance. In life, if you don't risk anything, you risk everything. Happiness is not determined by what's happening around you, but rather what's happening inside of you. Most people depend on others to gain happiness, but the truth is, it always comes from within. People are more what they hide than what they show. While you’re busy looking for the perfect person, you'll probably miss the imperfect person who could make you perfectly happy. If a person wants to be a part of your life, they will make an obvious effort to do so. Think twice before reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.Sometimes when the people you love hurt you the most, it’s better to stay quiet because if your love wasn't enough... Do you think your words will matter? Love someone not because they I've you what you need! But because they give you feelings you never thought you needed. If someone sticks by your side through your worst times, they're the one who deserves to be with you through the good times. Anyone can come into your life and say how much they love you, it takes someone really special to stay in your life and show how much they love you.Don't choose the one who is beautiful to the world; choose the one who makes your world beautiful. Falling in love is not a choice, to stay in love is. Don't listen to what people say watch what they do, Love is not how you forget but how you forgive. Not how you listen
but how you understand. Not what you see but what you feel and not how you let go but how you hold on. Your heart knows thins that your mind can’t explain. Life is what you make it. Don't base your decision on the advice of those who don't have to deal with the results. Don't worry about hard times because some of the most beautiful things we have in life come from changes and mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn't mean they have to pay for them the rest of their life. Sometimes good people make bad choices, it doesn't mean they are bad it means they are human. No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow your progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.Learn to love yourself first, instead of loving the idea of other people loving you no matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. If you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you're fooling yourself. That's like expecting the lion not to eat you because you didn't eat him. Don't look for someone who will solve all your problems,Look for someone who will face them with you. Be happy, be yourself. If others don't like it, then let them be. Happiness is a choice. Life isn't pleasing everybody. There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn and people we can’t live without but have to let go. It’s better to know and be disappointed than to never know and always wonder. If you tell the truth, it will become a part of your past. If you lie, it becomes a part of your future. Create a life that feels good on the inside. Not one that just looks good on the outside. Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, or won. It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love and grace and gratitude. It’s better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie. The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just have to find the ones that are worth hurting for.

A hater makes you doubt yourself, a motivator makes you want to prove yourself. A hater showers other people what's wrong with you. A motivator shows you what's wrong with other people. A hater causes you to worry about losing what you have. A motivator causes you to work harder to have more. A hater attacks your flaws. A motivator shows you your weaknesses. A hater is usually jealous of you. A motivator may actually want the best for you. A hater thinks they're better than you. A motivator wants you to be better than you are. A haters words aren't nice or helpful. A motivators words may not be nice but they can help you.Your true character is revealed by the clarity of your convictions, the choices you make, and the promises you keep. Hold strongly to your principles and refuse to follow the currents of convenience. What you say and do defines who you are, and who you are you are forever. Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Choose your words, for they become actions. Understand your actions, for they become your habits. Study your habits, for they will become your character. Develop your character for it becomes your destiny. Sometimes you have to be silent to be heard. A person who speaks less or not at all knows the value and danger of talking. For conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insinuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor. Nobody will keep the things they hear to themselves, and nobody will repeat just what they heard and no more. Neither will anyone who failed to keep a story to himself, keep the name of your hater. Never allow anyone to get close enough to know your hidden thoughts, secrets or weaknesses. Remember haters profit off knowing other people’s business. The less they know the less they can use against you. One must learn the importance of mastering their emotions. Without control, you'll always remain a prisoner to impulse. Anger can sometimes be a great motivational force. It is a passion, though, which flares up against all types of people. It is born of love as well as hate, and is liable to arise in the course of sports or jesting affairs of a serious kind. The outcome of violent anger is a mental raving therefore anger is to be avoided not for the sake of moderation, but for the sake of sanity. Never fool yourself every man or woman is a slave. One is a slave to sex, another money, and to ambition, all are slaves to hope or fear. You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.

KIDFRESH
O
some of his earlier work they’re all thankful he was his own worst yet honest critique! Those listening to him in Hartford on 93.7 are equally thankful for another “second thought” decision DJ Kid Fresh made and that was to take the job he’d initially turned down. DJ Kid Fresh says he’s evolved with the social media wave and wisely taken advantage of the perks that it provides such as countless ways of self-promotion for FREE! The digital market also allows 93.7’s faithful listeners an opportunity to listen to them on the go at radio.com. No one wants to miss the Top 8 at 8 especially if your one of the local artist that just may be featured and catch your BIG break in the *HOT EXTRA* segment. DJ Kid Fresh credits his trusty stead and Program director Buck with finding just the right local artist to spotlight once the music is submitted to the station. With protégé’s all over the country DJ Kid Fresh says he connected by bonds of trust and loyalty rare qualities that seem to evade many in business today. A twist of fate and a bit of irony landed him in Hartford, Connecticut over two decades ago but it was right where his mentor and ally Jay Stevens knew he was the ONLY man for the job.
riginally from the city of Houston DJ Kid Fresh is what many would revere as an “Old G” in the land of radio disk jockey’s *now that was extra old school*. His fascination with listening to his predecessors entertain over the airwaves ignited his passion and the moment he graduated high school he knew he wanted to do radio. Taking his talents to the southeastern region of the globe Kid Fresh earned a degree in communications at the Columbia School of Broadcasting. He interned under the stewardship of Jay Stevens at WPCG a station in Washington D.C. where Go-Go music reigned supreme. Professionally spinning since 1995 when asked who some of his most memorable guest were he quickly graced us with a list of Hip Hop royalty with names like 2PAC, Scarface, LL Cool J, Jay Z, and Master P. DJ Kid Fresh jokingly admits he made a small attempt at becoming a hip hop artist wisely convincing himself that sharing other artist projects over the airwaves was much more to @KIDFRESH93.7 (on all social media his strength than recording them. Being a naplatforms) tive of Houston it’s not surprising at all that DJ Kid Fresh’s personal favorite genre of music is 90’s Hip Hop …you know Geto Boys, UGK, and 8Ball and MJG… just to name a few. He lightheartedly says after letting his children hear 46

P
opperazzi PO was born Randy Harvey in Harlem but raised in the South Bronx, New York by his mom. {It’s a notable fact to mention that while we indeed had prior knowledge of exactly who his paternal father is Alberto “Alpo” Martinez *of Paid and Full fame* we did not engage him in any questions about this controversial figure} In 1996 the world of Hip Hop lost an ICON in 2Pac and from this lost Popperazzi PO was born. He wrote his first rhymes that same year at the young age of 9 years old. Life was not easy for Popperazzi PO, as a youngster he got caught up in the street life; many feel it may have been an inherited curse. He was eventually incarcerated in upstate New York, serving an 8 year sentence for Assault in the 1st degree with a deadly weapon (it was pled down from much more serious charges). It was behind those walls of hell that Popperazzi PO made a few connections in hopes of securing his musical dreams once he returned to the streets. Now the CEO of O3GMG Popperazzi PO is spearheading his own path to HIP HOP stardom with an even hungrier crew in tow. SC: You’re a CEO now but tell us how your first taste of fame as a roadie gave you the opportunity to travel the world, sign deals with notable labels and gain allegiances with other crews yet eventually cost you your freedom. Popperazzi PO: I was Charlie Rock’s hype man when he had the hit with French Montana called “Shot Caller”. French was signed to Bad Boy / MMG and that’s where that connection was made. While on tour I didn’t report to my parole officer for 5 years and when I finally arrested I was sentenced to an additional year for the violation. SC: What’s the BMF/SWISH GANG connection? Popperazzi PO: I teamed up with Bleu DaVinci but not much was happening because they were new on the music scene…it didn’t have the exposure that I was accustomed to in the previous situation… that’s when I linked up and inked the deal with Piff Unit Records. It turned out to be a bad contract and after a “mutual” meeting of the minds I was released from my contract. SC: You’ve endured so much being apart of this industry so tell us what keeps you “in the game”? Popperazzi PO: I actually stopped doing my own music and focused on managing other artist because I was tired of the fakeness and being betrayed by people in the industry; they try to eliminate your “Day 1” people and brainwash you to think others are better than them. I started back making music because I love inspiring kids to do the right things with my words. That’s what I loved about 2Pac music because you could feel the pain in his voice… I want to make that kind of music so when you listen to it you can feel the emotion from the song. Some people do things for street credibility not knowing that the wrong lyrics can get you killed…even having a better song and more fans can get you killed. SC: Speaking of children and being a positive role model to other children how has the role of fatherhood changed you?

orn in New Haven, Connecticut, Troy “Troop” Marshall has been capturing photographic images for over twenty years. His passion for watching and waiting on life to happen, stemmed from his childhood reflections of family photos lost in a house fire, which inspired his deeprooted ambition to grasp photo stories, in images. Troy discovered that photo stories bring the viewer into that moment in time, while maintaining the beauty of a natural environment. Troy believes that if you wait and gaze the beauty of a great picture, people will eventually forget the camera is near and the photographer can capture the essential vulnerability that may be hidden and essential to telling a story. Once Troy became comfortable photographing family and friends, he made his first profit in 2013, by default, when a hired photographer was hours late for Troy’s birthday event, encouraging Troy’s reliance on his own pictoric talents. True Trooper Photography was born in 2013 in New Haven, with images featured on social media, capturing events, social outings, and concerts, including Mint Condition, Keisha Cole, Big Daddy Kane, Cardi B, Kid Capri, and Dwele.
Troy strives to connect the home viewer to the live concert experience when viewing the image prints, and believes that the photographer and the viewer are connected, in every photo taken, through their senses. Troy revels in the connections he makes with individuals and approaches every shoot with modesty. Troy recalls his most memorable shoot with artist Dwele, in 2015, reminiscing on conversations of how art imitates life and appreciating the artist’s story. To garner a more universal appeal, True Trooper Photography underwent a transformation in 2016 and was refined to Pictuready Photography, with the slogan “make sure you’re pictuready.” You can regularly overhear someone responding, “I’m pictuready,” when Troy least expects it, but he always appreciates the endorsement. Pictuready Photography has been diligently on assignment,
over the past two years, and photographed 50 Cent, Fabulous, Jeremih, Craig G,

F
lex, Maino, Fabolous, Freeway, Beanie Sigel, Uncle Murda, and varied artists, events, and private affairs. Troy’s love of the lens will always represent photo stories, the creation of stories, and interesting findings in ordinary places. Troy maintains that his eyes are his equipment and his camera is merely there to capture the moment. When Troy “Troop” Marshall is not freelancing, he enjoys connecting with others and sharing their opinions through social media, while engaging and maintaining valuable relationships. The name “Troop” was given to Troy, when he was a young man and describes his tenacity, reliability, and strength. Troop has the vision to see what others can’t, the skills to accomplish what others don’t and the determination to go where others won’t, which has become the formula that gives incentive to the essence of his drive. Troy describes himself as “not perfect, just decent,” regularly pursing growth and chasing a lucrative hustle. “Photography is universal and requires no translation, just an eye and a camera, and as long as I have both, I will troop.”

If the Tri-state area is in search of a new trailblazer to catapult them back on the list of who’s who with certainty FRESSH is their ticket to the top! This Fat Boy Gang stand-out is making his mark on the charts and in the realm of social media stardom. To commemorate the achievement of gaining 20K supporters not “fans” (he was very addiment they be addressed as such) FRESSH dropped a free seven song EP to express his appreciation. Proving that great things come in small packages the EP entitled 20K has spearheaded FRESSH right onto the music charts with his single “Different” landing in heavy rotation on stations like Power 97 and other mega stations alike. With lyrical influences like Notorious BIG and Mr. Cheeks of the Lost Boyz it’s far from unimaginable that FRESSH effortlessly rides the tempo of any beat synchronizing the
artistry of visual and lyrical storytelling as a self-proclaimed “Trap Rock Star” … oh yes, it’s officially a movement! What may be even more impressive is just how many pots this young man has his hands in; the rising rap phenomenon is also the founder, creative director, and manufacture of the apparel line ingeniously dubbed Ray Hutch. Street Consequences caught up with FRESSH soaking up the California sun jetlag from his trip leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the concrete jungle. “Cali just gives me a different vibe… I’m in a better mind space when I’m here” said FRESHH. Born October 21 on the Libra / Scorpio cusp it’s said that the individual has quite the flare for drama, criticism and blessed with a determined tenacity; after speaking to one Raymond Hutchinson no truer words have ever been spoken.

SC: Where are you from and how was your childhood and without incriminating yourself or others tell us have you endured any “street consequences”? FRESSH: I was born in Jersey City, New Jersey but I grew up in Virginia from age 11 until I was about 17 then I went back to Jersey around 2008. To be totally honest and keep it a hundred I’m not gonna sit here a front like I had bad life. I had a great childhood my life was perfect and anything that I would consider bad that happened to me I bought it upon myself by making bad decisions. I took a gun to school and that’s why I had to return to Jersey and leave Virginia. My mother was a business owner and as long as you have money in a state like Virginia because it’s commonwealth you’re good. SC: How do you feel about the state of music in New Jersey and the industry itself? FRESSH: No disrespect to Jersey but I got my own movement that I’m trying to push right now called the Tri-state Movement (New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey) I’m trying to break that barrier and I’ve found myself being in New York a lot more than Jersey because of the music. I love music not for the purpose of making money but the excitement of entertaining people…performing is a true passion; I consider it to be a form of meditation. I love the celebrity attention… I’m on the D list trying to make it to the A list! SC: So, the 20K EP was a project inspired by your social media supporters … what was the visual behind that? FRESSH: I’m a TRAP ROCK STAR! I just wanted to give them something to vibe to that was organic. My goal is to bring back the visual aspect of the music. I want you to be able to close your eyes and picture what I’m sayin’. Even though I’m just really getting started I’m the mentor to a lot of artist…I know what has to be done because I’m in touch with my reality. I’m focused at all times cause I gotta stay on my A game. Right now I’m out in L.A. vibin’… I have a videographer on standby too so I can go from laying the track in the booth to the streets and then we shoot the video right after especially if it’s a feature verse cause I don’t have time to chase people down later to be in the video. SC: You’re not signed to a label right now correct but certain members of your group are? How does that affect your ability to make and release music profitably?
FRESSH: I’ve had a few offers put on the table but right now I’m independent even though we just dropped a compilation album under Empire called “Fat Boy Gang Vol.1” My groupmate Fat Boy is signed to Empire though. I’m always in the studio making new music in fact I’m working on two different albums right now; the grind never stops. SC: What’s next for FRESSSH? Do you have any advice for those trying to get into the game? FRESSH: I’m currently touring learning the do’s and don’ts on the road. I want to headline my own tour and also open up at least two Ray Hutch Flagship stores… one on the east coast and one on the west coast. The only advice I have for anybody in life is to stay true to yourself and be original…there’s nothing to be done that hasn’t been done. Develop your own blueprint and wait your turn everybody’s success is different.

She also was mentored by one of Hip Hop’s most influential Artist, DMX. KB saids “that experience answered a lot of questions at such a young age.” It was after graduating when she could finally focus on her passion, music. KB said “Nothing in this world can make me feel the way music can. My favorite part is when I’m able to connect with my audience and learn feelings I never knew existed until then. I can contribute to society, others can feel what I feel and I can feel what they feel when I create music.” KB’s grandmother recently said to KB “I do believe you will be famous one

ac Fair is a well-known rapper in the East Tennessee area who is really on the move. Things can only go up for the talented MC who has had a passion for music since childhood. Mac Fair whose real name is Romelious Danyell Fair was born and raised in Tupelo Mississippi. He played sports all of his young adult life and was a member of the Henry Hampton Elks Lodge. As a young child his grandfather would sit around and play the bass guitar. Being intrigued by the music he showed interest in it by writing flows and making beats with friends. All of that changed when he and some friends were asked to compete in school talent shows. People took a liking to the music and that when it became serious to the point that he knew something was there. He moved to Tennessee after his son died in 2004. His son died of respiratory failure at only 2 months old. Putting music to the side while trying to make a way in a new place was hard for him at first until he ran into fellow friend and rapper Colyone Da Don and Curtis Mapp his trusted friend and manager. It’s been on ever since and He hasn't looked back. Even though troubled times seemed like they were hard to shake with a few legal stumbles here and there, nothing can stop what this guy has planned to elevate his music career. Mac Fair is on a mission to build the Mac Family Entertainment empire brick by brick to become one of the most recognized and successful independent labels while showing he is a heavily gifted artist as well as his team. With releasing a mixtape series called Shots of Don Julio he's hoping that he can take the world on a MAC journey by vibing and relating to life situations that we all cherish and face. While at the same time keeping it Mac'n. Volume one of the series is already available.
