Don’t come back to DC. It’s crazy here. Go somewhere else and enjoy the rest of your life. Don’t be like Alpo
Exactly
Crazy??? No it’s not.
@@billymercedes-le8pl oh ye u don’t b outside or watch the news
@@gamingexpertrichie6818this isn't crazy. The 80s was crazy. Dc is not Chicago or Baltimore. Google cities with the highest murder rate. DC DOESN'T EVEN
Idk where my original comment went but.... it's not crazy or in dc. Yes there is crime but this is not crazy. The 80s were crazy. Google the cities with the highest murder rate and DC isn't even in the top 17! And that's where the list ended. I saw crazy and it was when Rayful was out. I have a yearbook of classmates that never made it out of the 80s. People getting shot, execution style, over stepping on someone's shoes. Not saying there isn't violence in dc. But dc was crazy when it was the murder capital. Baltimore is much worse. There are places you can't go to in Baltimore in the middle of the day on a busy street with the police around the corner.
Wouldn't be surprised if 50 puts together a show or movie based on him.
@@pmarcusb they should
@pmarcusb not a chance
Please don't!
He ain't gonna do a show about a rat
@@SayersAveRed 50 did one on twin snitches lol
He contributed but let’s not forget the government agencies that more than likely had the majority role in DC being the way it is
That’s a fact
Exactly! The government put more drugs and guns in the ghettos than this guy could have ever!

unless it was life without parole. lol lol
Not really he has a lot of bodies
Rayful Edmond was considered the Michael Jordan of crack in Baltimore City. At the age of 13, I knew one of his affiliates. This high school kid had a mustang 5.0, corvette and Toyota Cressida sitting in front of his grandmother's house at the age of 16. Unfortunately, That's when I decided to become a drug dealer too. I thank God every day to be alive and free.

@@daegaskins3340Yeah, much like the CIA in the 80's. Bill Clinton in Mena, Arkansas prior to his presidential nomination. You don't have to pretend like this public info doesn't exist.
As did our failed local and federal governments who have consistently designed laws to assists black people to fail. Who have always been controlled by white American men and women. Not much has changed except the fact that we also have immigrants from other countries within congress who also have a lack of concern for the black community.

You know it smh
Knowing what I know now. At some level the government likely aided him in becoming a kingpin.
Or Framed him 🤔🧐

Unknowingly being used in aiding the agenda
@@elleluxeOf course you guys are trying to make him out to be a victim. That’s what you people do best.

@angelrosario626 Alpo Martinez was similar to that too. The "justice" system is crazy.
Sounds like y'all settin him up 🤣🤣🤣
They are gonna announce this on the news so his enemies come and blow the whole halfway house to pieces? The news be chasing this crap

@@rlbk525this is federal prison and notorious kingpin and snitch. Then the federal halfway houses have been targets for murder. It’s a know fact. A lot of dudes won’t go to the halfway houses in their city because people will try to kill them.

WELL DAMN!!! ...if I was Rayful Edmonds I most certainly wouldn't want my release from jail on the damn NEWS!!!!!!!!!!! ...is this a set-up!?!?
@JetsettersRus It's been a long time, so he probably won't be in danger unless he plays the fool like Alpo did.
If only you knew.
@@eversway7540 You have some info?
@@williamdillard8330 facts only reason alpos dead is cuz he thought he could go back to Harlem and treat ppl how he did way back in the day
@jordanflores5687 I agree, but unless Edmonds acts like he's a bad dude and treats people with contempt like Alpo did, I don't think he will have to worry.
I'm sure he heard about how Alpo acted, and unless he's a n idiot he won't do the same thing.
They shouldn't let this be on the news. The news just made him walking human target.
@@FLYHIGH21That is the point.
Exactly why nobody will touch him, nobody wants to get life in prison for something that’s 30 years old
@@NickSandz-qe5te Nobody is getting jail time over him. He'd be just another body on the ground.
@@FLYHIGH21 as he should be
I don't think he's worried about that,after all he's on a video saying he's back better than ever .

Everyone in DC knows who Rayful Edmonds is.

30+years in prison.? He was convincted in the 90's, He has paid his debt. Imgne coming back to society after 30+ years from now.
He caught up in prison all this technology but I also be paranoid since post my pic 😢
Nothing the same if he just live his life and get out the way which you learn how to do in prison he’ll be alright !

So I guess they can release Larry Hoover and Jeff Fort
Feds can send him anywhere.

All that money was not worth it. Only young people that don't have 3-4 decades of life experience would think so. The good thing for him is that most people like him that have already been highly successful can do it again in a legal way.
Some of these guys that made millions as a young guy get out after decades turn around a become millionaires again in a few years but legally.
Miracle that he’s “free” and alive -thousands died due to his cocaine push.

Depends on how much money you stashed away in investments.

No

@@Forever.Remain.Namelesssons and other people will try. Ray will be a serious target if he doesn’t stay on the right path
He took care of a lot of people in DC during his reign. If those people had not turned on him and started stealing from him the moment he was locked up, he probably never would have told. There’s no loyalty among thieves, so why should he be loyal to them. Life in the streets never ends well and they all break those silly rules, even the top dogs. How do you think they get on top???
I remember him, he was the truth I'm D.C, he definitely deserves a life story movie.
he destryed the black community with his poin and deserves a movie lol, stupid lQ
lol. he was the truth for poisoning an entire generation? lmfaoo see why outsiders see BA culture as degenerate
I think he will be fine out of jail. No one will try to take him out. Alpo was causing problems. If Ray comes back and is positive, he will be fine.
If they try to take him out. The feds gonna know! I think they gonna be following him for a long time. Rayful is damn near a Genius!
I said the same. He still has fam and he knows yours. Still strong.
I agree
Four months later and he's dead. Let this man Rest in Peace. Informant n all...Like it or not, if you're from D.C. this man is now immortalized in the books as a D.C. legend. It is what it is
He did 30 years in jail? And now he’s getting out on early release? What?!.
Nice. He’s a smart man fr. I hope he makes a good life for himself
The Reporter states that, it is unknown where The Halfway House is located, then mentions The Tennessee Office is Dealing with The Case. REALLY?

No one forced him to sell it.
My celebrated presence like the return of rayful frolic in the snow so playful and reviv the track like we flowin thru jumper cables
There is no fixing someone like Rayful Edmond, his mindset is what it is. Maybe he was given a safe place to stay and live out the rest of his life. There are plenty of other people who can help youth stay away from drugs and the street life, they don't need Rayful.
That's my man glad you out bro
Happy for rayful, be safe out there,im glad he home stay out of trouble
Mr. Edmonds ,thank you! You took care of D.C. I was living in Washington at the time. Your product was grade A. I'm sorry people died! You gave BACK to the people
🫡To that Brother I hope he does well with his second chance at life
I remember when he was imprisoned, I knew people who knew him, and I thought he would never get out. I was in 9th grade when it happened. I'm 50 now.
He’s been released I thought. This is a strange story.
You are Kidding us?
How come serving over 3 Decades in prison be described as EARLY RELEASE?😡
They put his location on the news 🤦🏾♂️
Everyone deserves a chance to make things right ,good luck bro🙏🏾
Government informant goes crazy lol
He Better stay his self in Nashville. Don’t even loook back at DC.
He was locked up longer than he was free😮
Welcome home Raful Edmonds🎉
You can't put a price on that.!
But they save his life taking him out of the street for 30+ years.
I hope young people see his story and realize THAT FAST MONEY 💰 WILL HAVE U DOING SLOW TIME no amount of money is worth 30yrs living in a cage
A legend in the game
Good for him. Best wishes. Make the most of your second chance, Ray.

Yeah nevermind his victims.
Why are they broadcasting that he is out 😲
Why put it out there that’s he was a govt. informant???
And today is deceased.
A News reporter will tell everything about a person putting their life in jeopardy even though everyone knows
They could've left that part out

This must be the week!
1st Vybes Kartel, Shawn Storm & now Rayful! Welcome home ✊🏾
Dang they're are gonna make sure dude has problems coming out! One of the first things they use to remind the public that he was an INFORMANT and that's why he was given early release...wow....i don't think they should allow that to be said when a high profile illegal drug dealing person is getting out . .It's like setting him up to be tried in the court of street justice...smh
This news story saying at the end : *"He did NOT get released under an assumed name, or in the witness protection program"* was not wise , considering...Well, not by business 😮
🏃🏾💨🏃♂️🏃🏽♀️🏃🏿♂️
Ole school in orange didnt want that hug, not on camera that is.
They trying to get that man killed. Why would they say something like that?
I would advise anybody who thinking about doing something negative to him , too tread carefully. I think the feds gonna be watching him for a long time. And i mean watching him closely. This man just outsmarted the streets, his enemies, and The Feds. Shit, he can go into The White Corporate world, if they will have him, and succeed. Forget all that informant shit. Anybody who knew Ray before all this legal shit, knows that this man is fucking brilliant. And one helluva Organizer. He was a King in D.C.. Known as The Prince of The City. The Feds gonna be watching his ass forever!😅😂
@@tiffanyhollywood2108I know people you dont!!!

If he comes back to DC, same thing that happened to Alpo the Rat, when he returned to Harlem, will happen to Rayful the Rat.
I can't wait to see how people react when R.Kelly gets released
Too many Brothers n the Pen with Life .... Detroit kno that we are the last on everything n the first to be put down n let go especially Black Men...Sad but True
