- A complete breakdown of Boston's incredibly complex gang politics and the use of sports team's apparel to identify their hoods. I'm focusing on the late 80's thru the mid 90's Boston's most violent period by far. #boston #gangster #black #bostonhood #crime #projects #hood #rap #hiphop #roxbury #streets

Thank you once again for a job well done. I love your humble attitude and great respect you show in all your content. I remember our city during these turbulent times. These were the darkest days. I’ll never forget when they stormed Morning Star Baptist on Blue Hill Ave. I knew then our city had took a turn for the worst. The church was always so sacred. The OG’s would never… however the younger gangs could care less. I’ll never forget little Tiffany Moore getting shot on that mailbox. I lived in these neighborhoods during that time. I honestly walked through a war zone everyday. No one ever bothered me, but boy was I close to the fire. I had friends n family lost to these street wars. I never knew how bad it was until I watched your content. Please continue to tell these stories. The younger folks need to know what we lived through back in the day.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏 I really appreciate your comments your always so articulate and I feel I get a sense of your personality through them. Thank you again for all your kind words I’m glad that my attempt at humility comes through to you I really do enjoy talking about these sometimes controversial issues but I try to be respectful and tread lightly . I can’t imagine what it must have been like I try imaging bringing my daughter to the bus stop with shots going off no way for any child to live. That is a big part of why I do this I don’t want this history to be lost. Things are changing so fast I feel like I could blink and something will be gone, I’m doing my part to keep this stuff alive. Thank you again so much for your kind words and support so greatly appreciated 🙏🙏
@@jasontrimmins8264 We love n appreciate the way you “tread lightly”…. but still manage to “go in”. Your humbleness allows you to bridge the two without offense. There will always be haters n those easily offended. However I believe they will always be outnumbered by those of us who love, appreciate n need to hear the history of our city. No one else stepped up to the plate.
@@callmecarmella Wow thank you so much really that means a lot to me. I wasn't sure how people were going to react when I started this channel I really put myself out there my name and everything. But I feel the same way nobody was doing it and the city is changing so fast. I don't want the city that I grew up knowing my Dad, grandparents I don't know it means a lot to me. Boston and the area is very dear to me thank you for acknowledging what I'm trying to do here your support means the world!! Have an absolutely beautiful week!!
Always a good night shift when I open up RUclips & see a new video from your channel
My brothah good to hear from!! Much respect to anyone who works that shit I never could hack it
Great video bro the information in this was spot on. There’s still so many hoods and gangs to mention from out here but this was the best one I’ve seen on my city so far. Keep up the good work!
Great narration as usual. I was born in Roxbury in1947. And spent most of of my childhood in Roxbury, at the Orchard Park and Mission Hill projects, then moved to Fields Corner and Neponset (Port Norfolk). Things weren't nearly as bad as the days you report on...but I can relate. Thanks for your diligent work and videos.
Thank you very much I really appreciate that, have a great weekend my man!!
Great work brother
@@alexandermgarcia6910 Thanks my man!
It was only not dangerous if you wasnt out there. Grove hall down to dudley st was bonkers
Thanks!
This channel is "must see"
Great work
Thanks brothah that was a very kind gesture by the way. Please spread the word!! Have a great week my friend stay tuned🙏
Growing up during that era was tragic, we lost a lot of loved ones. Couldn’t even go outside.
I’m sorry for any losses that you suffered. It was was a tragic era but I thought it deserved to be told. I tried to do it as respectfully as possible. Thank you for your comment.
I havent watched this yet, but i just saw GURU, who else remembers when he was Staff at Rozzy Secure dys restraining kids
@@FrithonaHrududu02127 I actually talked about Rozzy in the video but I had no idea Guru was staff there that's wild!!
@@jasontrimmins8264 @jasontrimmins8264 @jasontrimmins8264 yeah his dad was the first black judge in boston municipal court i think. Fair too, my bff and co-d on murder case went in front of him on a gun case, gurus dad lambasted the lying cop. Guru went to real good private schools, like clarence on 8 mile. Advent on beacon hill and either beaver day or g&n. Then i remember watching rap city one day and who do i see guru with gangstarr posse. Then got w premier, hands down best that ever did it and the rest is history.
@@jasontrimmins8264 i just took my adds so il probably fire of 400 comments tonnight
You have tons of information very well put together. Im not from this world but enjoy hearing stories. Thanks for the videos.
Got hooked from you oxy video being an ex addict myself. Clean from opiates but still struggle.
Well I’m glad you found the channel 💯 well at least you’re not doing this tranq stuff that’s killing everyone and making their limbs rot off. Not that other drugs are good but progress not perfection. It’s a long process
you do awesome work bro. I'd bet this channel is gonna blow up and get the audience it deserves soon. It's refreshing not hearing about "whitey"when Boston gangland is covered.
I know that’s the whole reason I started this channel they were all telling the story wrong! I really hope it blows up we’ve doubled our subs in the past month please spread the word. I’m on a mission!!
It’s so crazy to hear this breakdown on the hood and the project/street alliances cuz for me it was just normal and natural and the bonds that were once strongly built back in the day are now broken due to the youth and the worst part about this all is that everyone’s related to someone from a rival hoods💯
I know that's what my friend Shawn says he's like I got cousins and aunties in almost every section.
I remember hearing about all the violence in Boston back then . My family is from the north end but by this time everyone moved to places like Andover and Tewksbury around there . This is a fascinating story . Wow great work on this some obscure stuff .
Thanks I really appreciate you recognizing that it wasn’t easy to put together. So much information and for someone who didn’t grow up there it was hard to wrap my head around. Thanks again brothah have a great weekend 🙏
Great video man. Im up on the N.Shore,but use to skip school in the early 90s to go play Madden for $$ up on Blue Hill. Only dudes we ever had issues with were the "GoyaBoyz"& "ABZ" ALL the time . We weren't involved in the gang politics so all the dudes on the hill always took care of us. Definitely crazy days back then man. Glad to see you covering it man!
Thanks brothah I appreciate the commment 🙏 that’s wild you used your play Madden for money on Blue Hill Ave I thought I heard it all but still to this day I can be surprised! I appreciate that 💯
Excellent job once again. Other videos on RUclips ill like watch while im doing other shit like cooking. But yours i only watch when i can give it my full attention.
Thanks I appreciate that Brothah!!
Cuz u r on point with this i swear im from Cali but i was out there for 21 years i just moved bacc home but im waiting on the Brockton stories too i use to be out there too
You just love being where all the trash is?
@@eternallogic6394 kind of like where ur at
Cali? You was in dy??
@@df5781 day?
What's dy?
This was a dope video my guy!...definitely brought it back to how it was back in the 80s and 90s...(my teen years)...shit was wild. Your video was accurate and knowledgeable about Boston streets..and thats on my dead dawgs 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 #still3forthebean
Thank you very much for leaving this comment! I made the video for everyone to watch but it’s special to me when people who lived it approve. So really man thank you for taking the time to watch and comment and of course for the positive feedback. Glad you made it through those crazy times🙏
Wow! This video brought me back. Glad you touched on the CV gang issues too. You can probably do a series on that alone.
Yeah theres definitely a lot of material to cover with that for sure. Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it!
@@jasontrimmins8264 yeah i was thinking you could do something on purple city, thats what they used to call east cottage st.
@@FrithonaHrududu02127 Purple city? hmmm please indulge me...
Oh yea 100% I’m CV and we been killing each other out here since the late 80s. The beef started back in CV with 2 big families, it got started out here after someone got killed back in Cv. Now it’s just crazy, has nothing to do with families. CV dudes have serious tempers, it’s ten different islands and most of the ones from Boston are from Fogo. We have a joke saying are you crazy or are you just from Fogo?! They’re known to be kinda of dumb, crazy and violent lol. You can ask any CV dude and they’ll tell you the same. Each island speaks different and sometimes look completely different. I’m from Brava they’re very light skinned green and blue eyes sometimes. We are know to be more snobby and educated. Most of people from Brava say they’re Portuguese not African 😂. My dad says this when he’s drunk. Just thought I’d tell you a little bit about Cv history. Pretty interesting.
My boyyyyy Jason with another one. Love this channel. #NewEnglandsFinest #SeppLaurent #Here🔥🔥
Yo what up Sepp!!! Thanks for watching and commenting my man I appreciate you!! Hope you’re having a great week man talk to you soon!!
Thx for this. I remember hearing some of this in DYS but never this in depth! Kudos
I was thinking of you when I said the bit about Roxy. I’m glad you enjoyed thanks for your support brothah I appreciate you🙏
Being a glostah guy all my Boston street knowledge came from my MDU stays.

@@Thayer01930MDU use to be in the old Judge Connelly building with Rozzie and Charlestown
Outstanding work. Seriously
Thank you sir I appreciate that very much 🙏
Nice job on the video. I’m from Cambridge but my grandparents lived all around Dorchester and mattapan, so I would spend weekends there early 80’s and eventually lived in Dorchester with them mid to late 90’s. You brought back some memories from hearing some of street names and gangs. Being from Cambridge I stayed neutral and just knew people. I chilled with the cape verdians from Cambridge till this day some of my best friends.
Thanks for the memories I just subscribed and plan to watch more what you got.
Appreciate you for making this
I appreciate you my man 🙏
I see you did your research! Very well put together. I'm sure some of the smaller crews that was left out might have something to say, but still put together nicely. My block was mentioned. You actually mispronounced it. We had smoke with Academy Homes back then. No need to correct it on my behalf. And I'm leaving it like that.....Thank you for this video! Very informative!
Of course I mispronounced it🤦🏻 which one the Bills? Thank you very much for the comment appreciate it very much🙏 I know I was going to just start listing off hoods at the end

Yo Mike Gill my brothah glad you liked it feel like I haven’t heard from you in a bit. Hope everything is good my man thanks as always for watching and commenting 🙏🙏
I just found this channel and I'm definitely going to subscribe. Keep up the good work
Thanks my man I appreciate that welcome to the channel 🙏
This video is very accurate about the lack of information out there. I grew up in Highland Black Hawk territory and the rival neighborhood was and is Orchard Park. It’s rare that I hear about all the murders that went on back then. The Highland Ave gang has been around since the 1960’s.
Really since the 1969’s ?? I’d be so interested to talk to anyone that was around back then. Are there any original members left around?
@@jasontrimmins8264 I made a typo I meant to say the 60’s and not 1969. This is tricky. One of the founders was a big drug dealer in the 60’s-80’s and retired a wealthy man. He and his family own many businesses in the neighborhood and try to remain low key. He’s considered a legend and to my knowledge is the only one still left from that time. Everyone from the 90’s and 2000’s are still around and possibly willing to speak
Hey Jay, you should do a story about the lil girl that got killed summer of 01'-02' (Roxbury) 2yrs old & the 2 clowns that were behind it ended up in NC. 1got killed & 1 put in a chair or so I've heard.
Loving your videos. I grew up in Dorchester up until I was 17 in 2001 when my mother decided it was her last chance to try to get me out of Boston to stay out of trouble ...ya that didn't work moving to Quincy wasn't far enough lol. I grew up in Savin Hill which was nice but a few minutes down the street it was so different and going to Boston Public Schools they all were horrible. Things were so different growing up in Boston back than. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot of life lessons. Miss those days.
Me too! I was born in 82 that's why I started making these videos Boston and eastern Mass were so much different then, everything is changing so fast it's like everything is just going to be forgotten. I feel bad for my kids growing up back then was so fun no devices or social media, we used to ride bikes hang out a parks and basketball courts, just doing kid stuff. Yeah stuff happened but that's part of life and how people learn like you said. Thanks for the comment glad you found the channel.
Grew up on Lucerne then moved to Ronan st I remember when m.i.c came together. Dope content 🔥
I been waiting for this one,i don't know why your stuff wasn't coming up on my home feed for a while ,im definitely still a subscriber and supporter, maybe its because I got sooo many damn subscriptions
I’ve been wanting to make this video from day one. I finally got the help I needed to do it. I was kinda surprised when I didn’t see you pop up in the comments I figured you’d be all about it. A lot of people say they don’t get notifications when I drop it’s kind of annoying I don’t know why that is. Have a great week brothah!!
@@jasontrimmins8264 you too,I hope the storm doesn't effect your clam digging
@@bretcappola6904 Ahh it sucks bro we keep getting shut down just got another 3 day closure haven't been able to get much going it's going to be a smaller Christmas than usual my kids are pretty happy though and healthy thank God and that's what matters. Thank goodness for the RUclips it's been bailing me out. Have a great week brothah always appreciate your comments!
@@jasontrimmins8264 well I and u your family have a merry Xmas, and keep doing your RUclips thing cuz your channels getting good 👍
@@bretcappola6904 Thanks for your support as always my man!! I appreciate that
Very informative of Boston, not very many videos on Boston
Thank you for the comment much appreciated 🙏 That was the aim fill the information gap!
Lemme start off by saying: I’d usually have a problem with someone from outside of the hood and culture, commenting on it etc, but I actually appreciate the way this Cat approaches the subject with care, thoroughness and respect. The comment about the perception of why there aren’t many big name Hip-Hop acts out of Bean is spot on. I speak from experience, being from an underground Hip-Hop group outta Roxbury, back in the late 80’s-90’s. I grew up on Hutchings Street (one of the “H-Block” streets associated with Humboldt) in the 80’s. I’m 48 and I moved to Tent City at age 15. I was actually outside shortly before Darlene Tiffany Moore was killed (Bless Her Soul). The mailbox is on the corner of Homestead and Humboldt Ave (a fact that only those in the know, know.) So many years later, one of our well known locals named Bernard was killed on that same corner, just across the street (Bless His Soul). I even got into some sh!t on that corner myself back in the day. Side note: there was a “Junior Humboldt” gang that I was somewhat being recruited to join but opted out. I’m grateful to have survived and to have a clear retrospective view on the ‘hood sh!t that I grew up with. There are a few important things to name when talking about Boston ‘hood sh!t, for example: differentiating between which hoods were in Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan and Jamaica Plain etc for example. It’s also important to frame that the ‘hoods throughout the U.S in general are not only a result of poverty etc, but the overall legacy of slavery and disenfranchisement of Black, Brown and poor folks. I’ll sign off by saying again that I salute this Cat @jasontrimmins8264 again for his efforts and I’ll be keeping an eye on his channel. 🫡👊🏾 1L
Thank you very much for that comment! I can’t tell you much it meant to hear you say something like that. Thank you for taking the time to write out such a well spoken response to the video I made. This is exactly the response I was hoping to illicit from someone who actually lived this in real life. I really just have always been incredibly interested in the whole situation watching it, growing up outside Boston. Thank you for seeing that I mean no harm or disrespect I’m just trying to accurately describe a unique situation that was transpiring in the city that maybe a lot of people weren’t aware of previously. Thank you again so much I can’t express how grateful I am that you took the time to write that comment and for your support. Have a blessed 2024🙏
@@jasontrimmins8264 No doubt! Right On! I absolutely mean what I wrote too. I also have some interesting connections to some of the other ill stories you've covered but I wanted to lift up two positive ones: I manage a program working with people coming home from jail and prison in the California Bay Area now. I think I heard you mention that you are formerly incarcerated so I salute you for returning to the community and getting some-get right. I know how difficult that is. Secondly: I'm also a fisherman, who does clamming from time to time too. Big Ups to all the Salty Sea Dawgs! Blessing and Prosperity for You and Your in 2024! 1L
@@hypno117 Thank you that's incredibly kind and thoughtful of you. I'm incredibly grateful for your support and words of encouragement.

Dude amazing work!!!
Thanks my dude I appreciate that!!

Congratulations man this was an excellent video I can already tell from the jump. This is going to be that video that I want to see. 23:23
That’s facts
I grew up in this is shit! Boston Gang History is wild… Thanks for doing this
It certainly is thank you for commenting I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s obvious why no one documents it, because it so intricate and confusing to someone from the outside
Every city has like the same project design and got tore down the same way smh. Thanks for these Boston uploads another city inputted n my research it’s crazy wen u see how our cities went thru the same and were so much alike
I’m so interested in Chicago it’s a big city I’ve never been to but always wanted to see. The Robert Taylor homes abs Cabrini Green they were like there own cities. Columbia point the old projects were like it’s own cities. Thanks for the comments I appreciate it!
@@jasontrimmins8264 no problem
ial loving your documentaries
You are absolutely on point 👍🏽
Thanks my man I appreciate that 💯🙏
Like the content bro 💪❤💯
Thank I appreciate that very much🙏
Salute and respect. This is literally a trip down memory lane in the Bean. A ton of history in these streets. 617 forever! Bless.
Thanks my man I appreciate that! I’m glad you enjoyed it have a great holiday 🙏
Hey what's up Joseph, I just watched your G Fredo video and have all videos on the him and the NOB, I gotta say thank you for doing such a tremendous job on the WHOLE STORY. I'm CV from Pawtucket and my dad's side of the family lives in Roxbury.. definitely has become real dangerous out there.. CV parents never even knew what a gang was until these kids start killing eachother. Once again great job and I look forward to checking out the rest of your content.
Great video man. Would love to see this done about Fall River. Even today there’s times when I see Boston/brockton guys getting caught up in the good ole Riv. If anything it might be even more active today than it once was. Just the other day someone was caught in New Bedford with 35 pounds of coke. Most in the cities history, supposedly.
Being from Somerville/Malden/Cambridge area… when I would go across the bridge to Dorchester/Roxbury, it felt like a different world. You can feel the tension in those areas. So much death and any second something might go off!
It is like a separate world from
The rest of the city and area that’s what I was trying to stress to people from outside Boston. Thanks for the support you’re all over the channel today!!!🙏🙏
@@jasontrimmins8264no it's not lol
@@jasontrimmins8264it's not even tht dangerous
Ur not even from Boston wtf lol
@@Shel230 Boston was dangerous in the late 80's early 90's?? go troll someone else please and thank you
Thanks for an informative video as i learned a lot. So how about a full video about the Bennett brother's?
Trying to figure out what the next LCN video should be about. I’ve never talked about the Isabella Gardner museum burglary and all the murders after that. Are you interested in that at all? Help me out with a topic David
@jasontrimmins8264 Thanks for your reply, and how about a full video on LCN figure Sonny Mercurio? I can send in any research materials on him or about the heist at Isabella Stewart Gardiner if you need them, Jason.
Content is 🔥bro
Thank you I appreciate that
seeing my area on here just brought back a ton of memories and confirmed how I always felt about living there.
Good job bro I’m from Boston and I’m inactive gang member your info is pretty accurate and dope keep it u kid lol
Oh by the way this is my gf RUclips lol
Thank you very much I appreciate that . I’m glad you enjoyed and thank you for commenting! The person that helped me has been awesome! Thanks for clarifying this isn’t Jennifer 🤣 have a great week my man!!
The thing that makes Boston so dangerous is how tiny it is. 10 sq mile radius lol it takes 2 hrs to walk around the whole area!
I know I used to take the train to the city and just wander around and get lost that’s how I learned the city. It’s small population wise as well. It’s a small big city if that makes sense?
great work my dude
Yo what up homie!!!?? Thanks for checking in hope everything is going well!!
Amazing video!
I was born and raised in Boston, right in Roxbury. When you started talk about one of my family members I Quickly showed this to some of my family thinking they will enjoy this too, they did but I learned tony Johnson was my grandmothers first cousin. Honestly shocked me to hear all that plus what you said in the video lol
Though I do remember my uncle telling me a story back when I was like 14 about a family member who was big on the streets but was killed over a girl, just at that age I didn't want to hear any story just if I could play the game system or not 😅lol so I didn't know who that cousin was until now.
Really looking fwd to your next video!
Thank you so much very much appreciated!! I would love to talk to anyone in the Johnson family. I want to do a full length video on them but I’d like to speak to a family member first. Keep it respectful. I’m glad you enjoyed the video it was definitely a tragic incident kid was very talented had a lot of potential. I’m glad i reawakened some old memories that’s a huge part of why I do this . Keep history alive!!
@@jasontrimmins8264 yeah sure no problem, you was very respectful in your video so I'll ask one of my uncles or mom to see if they know more or who to point me to but I know personally that I can't ask my grandmother lol she is deep in to religion now and doesn't like being asked or talking about the events of her time that involves drugs or gangs. Though I might be able to get some info from my grandfather but it might be more hateful information towards them than anything, recently learned from my mother, that my grandmothers family or just her male cousins (the Johnsons) didn't like my grandfather and even went as far to try and jump him. But I'll still ask maybe he be interested in sharing some stories from that time. I mean He do love telling me his old Vietnam war stories so might get lucky lol
Also I showed this video to more of my family and a lot of them are happy you didn't paint Angelo as a monster, he was a close friend to my family(best friend to my mom, aunts and dad) and the godfather of my little sister. Grew up seeing him as my uncle. My mother tells me stories for days about him, one things I remember her saying was when her girls and herself be on Humboldt, he would be very protective of them and give a warning to everybody around that he would F them up if they touch his sis lol every time she brings that story up I see my mom smile. So thank you once again 🙏 she was the first I showed this too and she likes it.
@@joka10155 Wow that's amazing someone else commented about Angelo and said he had a tough childhood I really empathize with him. It's really awesome to hear about the other side of someone's character and life from the perspective of friends and family. Most people have people that they open up to and show the real person they are the media always wants to portray the negative side of people especially gang members or people associated with them. I'm glad no one took offense I really really try my best to be respectful and get the information correct. I would love to talk to your grandpa I'm really interested in the late 60s and 70s don't know a heck of a lot of that time period that sounds like it was his era. And of course I would love to talk to anyone in the family about the Johnsons. Honestly anyone in your family just to get the perspective of how things have changed what it used to be like, just kind hear their experience and perspective. Thank you very much for reaching out to me I appreciate it very much and feel like it could be a cool opportunity for me to learn some things. Have a great week talk to you soon!!!
This is an awesome video very interesting I think it's cool that they use sports teams you didn't see that in Florida . I bet they sold a lot of sports gear in Boston😂
Thanks Ian ! Very unique indeed yeah and it was a cultural phenomenon in the and around the city I’m sure big bucks were made
Those starter jackets were epic in the 90s, but the big nation wide gangs wear sports teams too, I know many bloods from all over the country all the way to LA wear the Boston red Sox hats,and the Cincinnati reds, just to name a few,,,,,,,, well I just got my answer going through more of the comments,, it's the villa,that wore the pirates as well
Ohh... This is gonna be a good one, I can tell! Keep it up, brother... We appreciate u reporting on the bean! ✌️ 💪 👊
Thanks my brothah I appreciate you !! 🙏🙏
Good work keep it up
Thanks I appreciate that! Have a great week🙏
Marky Mark mentioned a part of your video in a song back in the day.
Yeah Tiffany Moore right? He was trying to let the country know what was really going on in Boston
You forgot about the CR (Colorado Rockies) hat my boi! The Cathedral Rockies from the cathedral projects in the south end. They had beef with the Villa projects and castle square projects back in the day! 😂 besides that great video man! Really enjoyed it! Rip 🪦 Tiffany. Marky Mark shouted her out in one of his songs and video. ✌️
Dang I didn’t know that!!! Ughh I know the Cathedral project too South End. I was wondering about the Rockies, I blew it!!!!!! 🤣🤣 gotta do a new one!! Thanks for the comment and watching my man !!!!🙏
He ain’t just shout her out, it was a whole verse about what happened and the majority of America just thought it was a fictional story!
Magnolia intervale Columbia members from the Columbia rd part known for the being Rockies not cathedral when you say Rockies in Boston no one thinks of cathedral 😅

I might do a full length video on it
@@jasontrimmins8264 you should and thanks a million because I said shut no one has done this for my city and I have first hand info let me know I gotchu with any info you need
Scat-G was the first thing I thought when I seen his other video.
Known as SCAT G I grew up in Franklin Hill
Raised in academy homes appreciate the representation of the city and realness sad we lost so much a lot of us are family.. Boston is small everyone knows everyone
Thank you very much I appreciate the comment! The A home of the Braves! I really feel that there should be a well made feature film about the time period there was nothing else like it anywhere else in the US
I don't know where you got this info from, but you are on point. @6:28, Tent City was never considered the Hornets, but were rivals. When I was a child, before all the beef, the older teens were wearing Miami Hurricanes. In the early 2000's, the Minnesota Twins 'TC' hats became popular by those who were claiming Tent City. Ironically, some Hornets were wearing Minnesota Twins hats, but with the 'M' on the front.
As a an individual frm Brooklyn, New York. Dope historic insights in Boston gangs! I used to always Hear that ,they rocc hats to represent their hoods.
Nice thank you very much! I was hoping people from outside the city would see this and be like wow they got a whole different thing in Boston! Thanks for watching and commenting I very much appreciate it!! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙏

@@hassanburton669 I've actually always been interested in that topic think I might investigate that further. I've always read that when Jamaican gangs were moving into the US drug game they had a heavy presence in Boston but I've never really seen much details about it. Thanks!
Jamaican dogg posse
@@samwitwicky2515 Can you lead me in a direction to get info on the Jamaican Posse in Boston I keep running into dead ends??
3:28 shit thats a really good point i never heard that or thought of it
Hey I love your content. Two questions, do you have a patreon where we can support? And do you have any recommendations for books or other resources where we can learn more about this side of Boston without the media or DoJ’s spin? (If not you really should consider writing one!!)
No I really need to get a Patreon going I’ve just been so busy digging clams trying to pay my bills I can’t put a lot of time into the RUclips channel unfortunately. A good book for stories that are less well known from the Boston underworld try “Gangsters of Boston “ by George Hassett covers everything from Italian Mafia, Irish gang war to Chinatown and Black gangsters of Roxbury Dorchester Mattapan etc…
@@jasontrimmins8264 thanks! Will check that book out. Hope things slow down for you soon.
@@jamescollins2638 thanks brother it’s a great read check it out!
Can you plz cover Mattapan square? KC hats for the Kaos Crew?
Yeah dang I forgot to to shout them out. Do they go by killah camp? I was told killah camp wore KC hats. My bad !! I’ll learn more about Mattapan do it more in depth
It was KOZ and they went hard for a minute back in the day… too hard though, because anyone who was anyone got caught up and as soon as they popped up it seemed like they were few and far between shortly after. They were goin back and forth with Thetford from like 2004-2007 and a lot of VERY young kids either lost their lives or caught life bids.
@@greenwaypropertysolutions3831 Damn I didn't know about that. What does the KOZ stand for? I've definitely heard of them I just didn't know about the Thetford Ave beef. Sucks a lot of kids life's are over before they even experience anything. Thanks for the comment!
@@jasontrimmins8264Kilos and Ounces KOZ
Ohhhh!!!
Nice Stream, Jason you should of mentioned how back in the day...If you wore a leather 8 Ball Jacket and you got caught in Roxbury and you weren't from there, it got taken from you..🤣😂 Old school..✌️
Yo Italian Stallion how are you my man! I was not aware of that but I’m absolutely positive that’s true🤣 thanks brothah appreciate the comment you taught me something!!
Fax, Even if you was from Roxbury, everybody couldn't rock no 8 ball jacket... Or nothing else nice back then.. mf was getting robbed for walkmans lol
Any starter jacket was fair game.... if u didn't have any knuckle game, or that ratchet you weren't keeping any gear
OK ! Lets check this out. See what you on ..
What do you think?
Nah you did a hell of a job , you really got up wit someone that knows Boston hood history.i came up in the 80’s and 90’s in Dorchester in the mist of it all,u should of took it back to ers and shout out all them smaller hoods, that would’ve been 🔥 ..but congratulations u did a hell of a job…
Yeah man I have the page with all the streets and hoods written out I should’ve done it I was a little unsure. There’s always next time! That’s the good news this topic is so layered I could do kind of endless content on it. The person helping me has been outstanding of course some people are gonna hate but it means a lot when people like you say nice things and support me. Appreciate you !
r.i.p. glo west he was my best friend since middle school
🙏
I grew up in the 80. And corbet street was the most feared
And ppl forget Norfolk Kings"..came before the Norfolk "bills never heard of)...and vamp hill warred for the same name.
I said Norfolk Bulls it was Therford Ave Bills. I didn’t know about the Kings though. Can you tell me anything about the Johnsons or was that before your time?
The kings were the opposite side of Morton Street. The bulls had the park side.
@@datdogg333wdp8 ok... Thank you for that!
Everyone knew Everyone from elementary..some are born 10% leaders and seek their own 85% born followers.
@@jimstone3150 pretty accurate statement
I was in Roslindale and Harvard Street DYS. Metro Gym was like 2-3 years before my time but that was no joke from what I heard. BST-MDU in late 90s early 2000 etc. was no joke. Me being a white kid from Dorchester I knew I lot of black kids, but I was outnumbered like 30-3 at all times. So I had to fight a lot before I wasn’t fucked with. Some won, some lost, but necessary there. I’ve done the tour and I have retired as said in previous comments. Life is precious. 💯👌🏻
It absolutely is ! Trials and tribulations my man it makes is who we are! Usually if you stand up regardless if you win people will leave you alone
Good shit bro been following u from out in San Diego new about street schen.out i heard about many years ago mark mark was rocking with a gang i think were hoey jersey also boston schen with spots team very similar to how we have in California as bloos. N crips were sports gear to rep hood like Boston red Sox bloods brins rock phill hats pirates hats piru crip in sandiego were brews hats glove on hat rep da gang matter grow up in in 80 they wouldn't let u were sports teamm at bars abd clubs back in day keep the good work when i get channel up love to get on my channel when i get up
Yeah brother thanks definitely hmu when you get the channel up!
Till this day Boston is hella active. Im from here
Certain areas absolutely!
Lucerne St vs Norfolk was wild n u left out Franklin hill [ Giants NY or San Fran ] and Franklin field [ Sharks or Marlins ] Wainwright
I talked about about FH Giants vs FF Sharks in the first video and I thru up the two teams in succession in the video when o was talking about rivalries but yore right I left it out and a lot of others. I tried my best I do plenty of future content on the subject try to show everyone love. Thanks for commenting have a great week!
@jasontrimmins8264 nah it was dope content just think Franklin field was a prominent projects I remembered u couldn't even walk through there I like seeing our history get told I'ma a side street baby but the projects MADE me ya know
@@d-nicedawyldcard4274 Thank you I really appreciate that. I know I drove thru there in the middle of the day once and it was intimidating. You go way in if someone boxed you in with a car you wouldn't get out. Thank you for commenting and watching I hope you keep tuning in !!
the p's collab was.....orchard park...heath street , mission hill , vamp hill , intervale st...these were the opps of scat -g , back in the early 90's
No doubt a lot of people have said that too. In your opinion is that the top rivalry from that time period?
im from orchard park ....we had the youngest crew back then . we started wearing trail blazer hats in 1988.... humbodlt or h block now had the most smoke then because they were beefing with everyone body dayum near@@jasontrimmins8264
I like the names it reminds me of a throwback to the old NYC gangs
Right!
Them point dudes was wild.
Legendary!!
I went to the Mccormick for middle school.Went to School with the young dudes.91-93
Very wild I'm not sure if people under stand how crazy we had our own church armed security which would escort the police to the point
@@andrehughes1174 That truly is crazy armed guards at your church
They also ratted on each other! Don’t forget that part!!!
chevous was like gang central everyone met there to get it popin
I can imagine it was in the thick of everything
A single round ! 19 yrs for ACCA. JUDGE YOUNG 🤦🏻♂️what a piece of work. I will always remember this. Didn’t believe it until I saw people with similar cases myself.
I know what a joke! Ruining someone’s life to prove a point most likely just from a media stand point as well. American hypocrisy at its zenith!! Rip Freddie Cardoza
Good vid, been subbed since the start. What’s the 700 and 1850 mean I notice hoods are usin numbers now like 400 900
I’m assuming it has to be block by street number like how they say on the news a shooting on the 1750 block of such an such road. Just throwing out the first thought in my head if I can be honest.🤣🤣 hopefully someone else will help on the comments with a correct answer!
700 =Block in codman square . Dorchester .1850 =building In south end
1850 is a small hood in south end right on east Lenox st across from the Mandela home
@@allenprevost3653 That's what I figured thanks for clarifying!
@@dtowerz9489 👍
Angelo West was a friend, tragic story, he had a very abusive childhood
I can imagine. I didn’t mean any disrespect just wanted to relay how traumatic and dangerous that lifestyle could be and what some people suffered. His story is somewhat common knowledge so I used him as an example again no disrespect intended. That sucks to hear that his childhood was traumatic also. For what it’s worth I can empathize 🙏
Raiders and H-Block are 2 different crews. The real Raiders do not rep H-Block. I forgot to mention SCAT-G which was the alliance between St.Joes/Castlegate/Academy/Timberwolves/Greenwood. That is another crew that was outside
So did Raiders stay together? Were the XMen part of SCAT-G?

I Hurd they was all one hood in the beginning too
What happen
you could do a whole video on Chez-Vous.. I always thought it was so weird that a roller rink for kids would have so much gang activity.
Right ! They used to have big rap shows there back in the day too. Queen Latifah played there
I was born in 82 and grew up in Boston and Cambridge.You are so right about not being able to find content on Bostons dark history.Great video maybe you could do a video on Cambridge MA.People just don't know how different things were back then.
Thank you very much I really appreciate this comment. I used to get so frustrated that I couldn’t find anything on the internet about the subject. I tried my best simply because there’s nothing else out there. I’m actually doing a video on Cambridge and Somerville soon like next 3 videos. Is there anything particular I should look into in regards to Cambridge??
Leave Cambridge out of your investigations
Nothing was safe and you didn’t mention the real dangerous mall - the Layette Mall….it was gang central
Where was that?
Downtown Crossing it was serious
That picture booth. 20 bucks to keep your pic up for your opps to taught your opposition. I still remember Academy had a pic of like 30 dudes all black Champs with one in the middle holding up an lighter saying heath st burn bitches burn. This was before the social media era.
@@datdogg333wdp8 it was gruesome- I remember there were like 10 gangs up there 👆 with reply’s back and forth on the pictures!! There I remember crews running into one another and things getting bloody at the entrance
@@adivasi7582 I think it's the reason they shut it down.
Indians wasn’t on intervale that was Shawmut Ave…..they connected with ruggles street in Rockets and Tar Heels gear.
Aight yeah like I said I heard they wore Indians hats I knew they never went by an actual team. So Ruggles wore Rockets and UNC stuff? Interesting I was wondering what Ruggles and also was surprised no one wore TarHeels they were wicked popular in the 90s. Did anyone wear university of Miami Hurricanes that was really popular too?
Yeah intervale never went by an actual team back in the day Strictly IVP and adidas .but you absolutely right.a few of dudes from up there did rock Indians and kc royals hats but it wasn’t really a thing.

The movie "In Too Deep" was about OP, that was before all this. And you mentioned the Heat, Mission, OP alliance, don't forget SCATG; Saint Joe's Castlegate Academy's Timberwolves Giants
Norfolk had Kings too, the other side of Norfolk were The Bulls. Then there were Blue Hill Chargers, I can go on and on
I’m sure you can. Feel free I enjoy learning
lol he left out a lot of lil hoods that was doing their thing back then , but he was pretty much on point.brought me back
@@allenprevost3653 Thanks my man I appreciate that. I was going to shout out a bunch of random smaller hoods that I didn't mention in the video at the end like an old WERS at night radio show but I didn't I knew some people were going to call me on that
@@allenprevost3653 alot of crews were running around back then, so many of them disappeared
@@jasontrimmins8264 Intervale wore Indians. Fayston and Franklin Hill both wore SF Giants. Franklin Field wore Sharks, Marlins and FB Fubu for "Field Boyz". Talbot Ave wore 49ers, Columbia Rd wore Rockies, Tent City wore Twins, Castlegate wore Magic, Bicknell/Fowler/Esmond (B.F.E.) wear Red Sox to this very day, if you see one of them with a Red Sox hat and Adidas, they're an original from B.F.E. then Steelers were also worn by Hansborough Street and then you had Ashton Street who wore Cowboys then Millet Street that wore Expos. Brunswick wore Orioles then Highland wore Blackhawks then Misson Hill wore Wolverines. Man, there were other crews that didn't wear sports teams like O.L.M.

Thanks my man appreciate that 🙏
I wear Blackhawks all the time. Love the 90s look. Christmas vacation... summer rental... jersey
Thorough breakdown on what was going in our city. I remember when it started not being safe going outside. In the late 80's by the time 90's came it got real crazyyy. Especially in Roxbury ( Brunswick/ Interval/SouthEnd / Tin cIty / The Villa / Franklin Hill / Castle Gate / Humboldt / Corbet ) ... Most of us went to The Burke. It was a very dangerous time. They we had to endure which the city never gave two shits about. Until it was wayyyyy too late. By that time, we started saving ourselves. By curving the violence with Hiphop n Sports n Gang prevention programs ( Gang Peace in Roxbury ) set up by us through the city. I was apart of all of that.
Even though I have mixed feelings about you as the poster posting this info. It should of been one of us to actually narrated that lived thou this. Im still some what appreciative because I forgot about most of this. Especially Columbia Point. Thanks for posting RIP to Todd Holiday n The Holiday Family.
Didn't Academy have internal beef too? Light side and dark side?
Not really sure about that
Someone will know.
Years later they did if I'm not mistaken
Of course they will best part about all this 🔥🔥 people dropping knowledge
They had beef around 07 not sure what it was about but I think that's done now
