Damn, hearing Kenny was willing to break up w his fiancé and didn’t want her to wait for a single day if he has to serve jail time, it speaks a lot for what kind of person he is. Definitely someone u can count on if ur his bro
The track at the end is tight! Hope we get to hear the full version once the track lands! Big-ups to everyone in bringing the realness and showing examples on what being stand-up (solid) truly means!
I moved to New York City exactly in 1980 and I remember how Chinatown was the place to go for seafood, Chinese gourmet food, fireworks, and Chinatown had a variety of clothing stores where you could find good deals for leather bomber coats. It also had it's dark side!
Just discovering your channel. Fantastic content. Kenny is a great, natural storyteller. Would love to hear a more detailed history of Nicky Louie. Brings back lots of memories of the 80s & 90s. Bowery. Hester. Pell. Bayard. East Broadway. Mott. Canal.
Wow, Kenny met FDs - Mikey and Ox in the joint, knew them from hanging at Confuzous Plaza. Big time heroin users and dealers. Glad they took care of Kenny! Cantonese gangs take care of their own no matter what- we come from the same Toisan village. We know the struggles. If you don’t speak anything but Toisan Cantonese, other Asian gangs are screwed; however, most useful language in the Triads in China.
Kenny is a real gangster breaking up with his fiancé when he got locked up. Some dudes can’t even think of doing that and expect their women to stay loyal for 10+ years. That’s too much stress and problems you already have in prison
Kenny is such a cool dude, I look up to him like he was my own uncle. Wish I could share a drink with him and hear all these stories, keep it up with the vids 🙏
Good to know that all the Asians stick tofu in the pen. Love what he said about all grudges & shit like that gets thrown out the window. It’s so so , what the hell they going to fight for in the pen😂😂😂. Good that all these enemies in the streets became good friends outside the streets.
You’re referring to UNICOR…, shot callers If you’re referring to FPC’s or FCI low’s then yes, it’s a country club compared to state. USP’s are generally pretty rough…, Beaumont is called Bloody Beaumont for a reason, there was an incident there that caused a nation wide BOP lockdown not too long ago. USP Terre Haute is also another rough one, as well as USP Hazelton, Thompson, USP Big Sandy, etc…
Hey Kenny I was wondering if you guys ever had any run ins with Eastern European gangs/crews or if they were even relevant in your world. Love the podcast it's addicting!👀🧡💪
Most times those guys just become citizens of their country...not deep enough to be a factor in the feds...feds is mostly dominated by mexicans whites muslims bloods crips....everybody else just there to fill up space
Kenny bring up alot of familier name in his video. Dai Lok Jai (Ah Kay right hand man) He was called China boy, eventhough he was vietnamese. I remember him well. I have a question , there was shooting in Queens back around 92 or 93 where a GhostShadow dai lo name Vinh, I dont know remember his nick-name, we all went by nick name back then. He was also vietnamese. The newspaper claimed he was shot by Flying Dragon boss, Sui Bao. Does Kenny remember anything about that? If so, can he mention anything about it. I am very curious about what happen. Thank
No Vietnamese in ghost shadows in 92-95....all left to BTK and if you stayed you looked like a traitor to your people and will be singled out. There were Vietnamese in the 80s in ghost shadows though. Mostly HOA(Vietnamese of Chinese descent) and they were treated like coffee boys due to the interasian prejudices.
Excellent content! how ironic Asians are considered minorities even in prison. I jumped when I heard my name.. lol..thought for a second if that was me.. but nah.. I think I dated someone from T.O... such a vague memory.... So what does a rat mean? Couldn't figure that out. Did the ppl deal with rats inside prisons? Don't they clean the cells?
A rat could be someone who committed a crime with someone and snitched on the other people involved to get less time or no time. Or in general just cooperating with the police when you're supposed to be in a criminal organization.
@@jacobayers2391 ahh.. thxs But who is ratting during that time? All the Asians were in prison during that time.... it was a very quick cleanup in the streets
@@jenniferlee482 well usually the feds or state will take a guy with serious charges and tell him they will give him significant or no time if he tells on the guys they want or gets info from the guys they really want that’s why Sammy the bull did all those murders but got less time than John gotti because he snitched on him. It’s the same playbook for everyone because it’s hard to beat the United States government so most guys just take pleas instead.
