I really love how these 3 brothers give you game and give you truth at the same time I really appreciate what they do and how they are giving back in the community and giving black men a helping hand I really needed this podcast it helps me throughout my day

AJ Turna · Feb 2021

The episode with Melvin Farmer was like a Los Angeles gang history lesson. I could actually visualize everything that he was saying.

562 Queen · Nov 2020

The content is awesome however the audio quality leaves something to be desired. It sounds as if they’re all in a bathroom with one mic in the middle of the circle.

1Eastsider · Oct 2020

This show is really great. The stories feel true and authentic, every guest so far has been great, and as far as topics go, they hit it out of the park. Found this podcast at the end of last year, started current day and had to go back and listen to every episode. Keep up the good work gentlemen!

D.Stinson · Feb 2020

I was a huge fan of this podcast with its original hosts. The subject content and the discussions have really fallen quite a bit, and it goes to show how the prior hosts really anchored it. Even after Reggie was gone, it was still decent (even without his perspective as an ex-LEO), but they’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. I stopped listening for a while but decided to give this a try again and listen to the new one with EDI Mean, as a big Tupac. It was a huge waste of an hour to hear him talk about his diet (I can listen to actual professionals talk about that, if that’s the goal) and to hear everyone’s opinions of whatever police incident and how they don’t think the thread of boiling water being thrown is a big deal. Unsubscribing.

RVCA1025 · Jul 2024

The show really lost its touch when Alex & Reggie weren’t part of the show. The dynamics of the original 3 was what made the show. Death Row and gang stories. Black Effect signing ruined the basis of the show cuz it seemed like it went mainstream. I went from downloading every episode to only downloading which episode sounded good by reading the description
