In short

J-Hood (formerly incarcerated) discusses being released after 11 years for murder-related charges, prison life and rules around contraband phones/YouTube, gang dynamics in Carson/Long Beach/Hoover territory, drug use and prison hustling, and his shift toward fatherhood and warning younger people.

Guest backgrounds

The host is Crip Mac (No Jumper interview setting). J-Hood is a Carson, CA Crip associated with Stevenson Village Crips; he says he was raised in the system, in and out of juvenile hall, and later served time in LA County jail and prison. He references lawyers and public officials (Felipe Richard; George Gascón) and mentions other incarcerated figures (Big Peabody, Devil Ains, UBN/“The General,” etc.).

Key claims

He says he was shot at 16 (leg) and later got convicted for killing one person after a case he claims involved self-defense and testimony from friends he says lied. He claims 8 years in county fighting charges, ultimately “11 guilty, one not guilty,” and says he was one guilty verdict away from life. He argues prison phone use can trigger rule violations and loss of privileges, and says he made large money in jail (including allegedly selling phone time during COVID). He claims he stopped street violence and now focuses on his son (age ~9).

Notable examples

He describes being placed in a facility with cell-tower interference to prevent phone use; paying for phones (including a $10,000 flip phone in county); and a mall shooting where he says he was shot nine times and was not charged. He also discusses alleged “attempted murder” charging logic (assaulting a defenseless/unconscious person) and his belief that modern sentencing makes crime “not worth it.”

It's good to be back. after 11 long years, 11 years, eight months, I'm back. 11 is crazy. You know, like I never left. Poof. 11 is crazy, but I could have had. They tried to give me likes. They tried to give me the DP. That's insane. Yeah, they tried to give me the death penalty. Dude, welcome home, because that's got to feel surreal. You said you've been out eight days. I've been out eight days. And how does it feel? It feel great. It don't feel real.

1:20Sometimes I still wake up early, like for count time. when he used to wake up for camp. So he just feel good to be home around family. I'm still a little bit on edge, you know, just at that foe yard. Yeah, I can't even imagine how that must feel after all that time, bro. Congrats. For sure. Yo, let's go back, though. Let's tell the whole story. So you're from Carson? I'm from Carson. All right. So what was life like growing up over there? See, all right. See, people got Carson misunderstood. Carson is like literally, let's see, start calling me right now. uh cross c-star yeah free c-star free c-star free my brother and free baby braise yeah yep yeah free all the guys free all my peoples though but uh carson is literally where rock where i grew up at is like you can stand on one side of the street and be in compton and be on the other side of carson where i grew up i grew up in the village so we the only it's only two crib gangs in Carson.

2:22Okay. Us and me, us in the East Coast. Okay. And we go to the same schools and we like choose like different sides like come like eighth grade high school. I've been Carson. It's really a cool area though. I've been shot up a gang of times though. Right. Because I was out there in the field. Because I lived in Long Beach for a while and we always just Carson Mall is like kind of the main thing that people might know about I know. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. So, you know, and now Outside of them. Yeah. They're not coming out of it. After Kayser started, it's like the mall, but outside of it, you know.

2:58Carson, people think Carson is like the suburbs. It's not. It's really like middle class, but it's right. You can stand on one side of the street and be in Compton and the other side of the street and be in Carson. The top of my hood is in Compton. The bottom of my hood is in Carson. So it's like the best of both worlds. I've been shot up. I've been shot on two separate occasions in the city, you know, and it's just, it gets tricky out there. Like, you know, we got the East Coast out there. That's who we've been getting into it with since the beginning. I grew up with all them dudes, though. I got a big brother from over there.

3:36I love him to death, but, you know, it is what it is. But so how did you decide that you were going to be from Stevenson Village Crip? How did that happen? I got a cousin named Kano. S.I.P. Taino. S.I.P. and my brother. He was like my best friend growing up. He wanted me to be with him. All I had was really, I grew up with my mom. I had all sisters inside my household. I got brothers, but they're on my dad's side. You know, so my mom, her sister, my auntie Katina, rest in peace. My auntie Katina passed away. My mom started taking care of my cousin Kano. And then Kano told me to come beat me from the hood, and I turned the hood.

4:22Right. And ever since then, that's what it was. Definitely. So when you were young, what was the lifestyle like, though? Were you just outside every day, just hanging out on the block, or not really? Hanging out. No, I used to play football. I ain't going to lie. I used to play football. But Carson is like, all the football players turn gang members. Football players turn gang members. But, like, everybody that was on my football team, for the most part, I'm still cool with. But it's still, like, it's people that was on the football team that was present when I was shot. Uh-huh. That I felt like participated in it.

4:55Are you getting something? It is what it is. And at the end, it's like, it just gets deep. It gets tricky. But not only, I grew up in the Hoovers, too, though. Oh, yeah? Hell yeah. I grew up with the Hoovers, in the Hoovers my whole life. or my cousin's is from A-Trey Hoover or my hangout with the Hoovers and the shotguns every day in the A-Trey Gangsters. I be over there every day too. Those are allies. Just because the one I know, these coasters, they hang with who they hang with. That's who we hang with. Traditionally, would you all have beef with all the neighborhoods? No. We beef with these coasters.

5:33Just them specifically? It is what it is. I don't be for neighborhood. Okay. I don't got no problem. I don't be for nobody. I'm a grown man now. You feel me? I don't care where he's from. If he a Muslim, he my brother. But I grew up fucking dude. So you feel me? So, okay, wait. Your mom passed away when you were young? You were raised by your dad? No, I was raised by the Stevenson's. I was raised by the Crips. You were raised yourself, huh? I raised myself. I lost my mom. My dad came around back and forth when my dad was in the streets. Uh-huh. My dad was in the street, so, you know, I raised myself.

6:10I was raised by my grandma, by my sisters, by my homies. You feel me, Barcano. We raised each other. We same age. We raised each other. You feel me? I was raised in the system, in and out of Juvenile Hall, on the real. So, you feel me? No, I wasn't raised by my dad. I love my dad. He used to try to be there, but by then it was already too late. Right. It was already too late. I was already shot the first time. I got shot the first time when I was 16. 16. Yeah, I got shot the first time. And what was that scenario? That was before tomorrow. Yeah, before tomorrow. I was just walking out the hood, walking off the block, and the situation happened in the curve.

6:48So you were just walking, and somebody just came through shooting at you? It was on. It was on with us and them boys with these coaches. It was on. Would you have known that that was a possibility that that was going to happen, or was it a total surprise? No, it was on. I already lost friends. I lost Reginald Hayes. I lost Reggie. I got a cousin named PK. You feel me from the hood? You feel me? No disrespect to the power of rules, but that's his name. He got shot by the one eye on those. You feel me? Like three on three separate occasions. Right in front of the house. You know, I got raised by him.

7:24You feel me? So people was already dying. So yeah, it was a possibility, but I didn't really think it was going to happen to me until I get happy. And you got hit how many times? Just once. Oh, okay. You ended up, like, where'd they get you? My leg. Okay. Leg, leg shot, leg shooter. Okay. And how long were you in the hospital? Man, hospital, I went to the hospital. They tried to, the detectives started to interview me. I left. Right. Like, I was in the hospital for five minutes, ten minutes. Really? I went in there. They got my little shots, a little tetanus shot. I don't say they got to ask any questions.

8:01I'm getting irritated. Like, man, fix me. Like, what the hell? Fix me. I got a hole. I'm leaking. And I just get up. And that's when I was burnt out. I used to be real burnt out. To find burnt out in this situation, like the only thing you cared about was gangbang? Yeah, all I cared about was gangbang. Yeah. I was getting money. Yeah, I was getting money. But all I cared about was catching. Getting up on the shim. Catch a hat. How are you getting money at that time?

8:30I mean if you were like Selling drugs you could just talk about it No More sinister Wow We used to do all type of stuff Flu flaming Basically You wanna say that People not houses No establishments Gary stores And you never got caught doing this shit I was past the statute of limitations So, yeah, I ain't never been called doing that like that. Damn. So you were doing good for a while? You were making a lot of money back in the day? Yeah, I was 16 with a couple hundred thousand. Wow. Yeah. That's crazy. I take care of my whole family. So I've been in a man in the house. I've been taking care of the whole hood.

9:13Let me just warn you, though, man, that the security, the surveillance state that we live in is way different. It's so high-tech. It's crazy. It's over. The time is over. I know the Lord now. I know so much. I really wish I would have known back then what I know now because all of it was pointless. It don't matter what you done did in the past. It don't matter all that. If I would have knew then what I know now, I would have been investing. I've been investing now, though. You know, but, man, I just, we was, the blind lead the blind. We was raised by, like I said, I was raised by kids. We was raised by kids and most of them dead are in jail.

9:56Every single day I get a phone. I've been out of jail eight days. I've been out of jail eight days. Every day I get about 10 different phone calls from people in prison. People I grew up with. In that little break where we had technical difficulty, you had a group FaceTime call hit you up with a bunch of familiar faces. C-Store. Crazy. Free C-Store. Yeah. C-Store, free braids. That's got to be crazy that you still, like, when you were in there, you probably felt a little bit more like you were on the outside because you had access to stuff like that. No, it's this. Hey, look, C-Store Braze is not the same as being having a phone.

10:36Man, I don't even like touching my phone no more since I've been out. My phone rings so much are keeping on quiet. Braze, brother, you know. You've been in a situation and came home. C-Store is different. You've got to come home. You've got to stay home, brother. is this ain't the place. And for the kids that's out there, it's not it, brother. You think sometimes they get a little too comfortable on the inside because they got access to the phone? Yes. Yes. Look, I was supposed to been home. I was supposed to been home. See, look, this is what you don't know about prison, right? Every time you use a phone, you're breaking a rule.

11:15Just think about that 90. Every single time you make a YouTube video they can give you 90 days no giving every single time yeah good they could how can i say this say you post a video every time say i post a video wearing this blue shirt then i post a video wearing that uh that hoodie they can give you a write-up for each and every time and they give you a write-up just for uh a charger piece a small charger piece that's 90 days that's no get back Like, that's one year. The first time is one year without a conjugal visit. The second time, it's three years without a conjugal visit. The third time is five years without a conjugal visit.

11:56A conjugal visit is when your girl can come spend the night and you can have intercourse with her. After the third time is indefinitely. That means you have to petition to get your conjugal visits back. Well, now, you can do that. You can make three YouTube videos and then lose your conjugal visits forever. Wow. And to mention, when you get out and you go back, that shit still applies. It's still there. You still have the same CDC number. If I go back to jail right now, I can't get family visits. And once you put yourself on a, like I put a spotlight on myself. They sent me to a place where they had cell phone towers where we couldn't even use cell phones no more.

12:37That's why I went off the grid for so long. Oh, because you haven't up there used to channel like eight months. Yeah, that's why. That's the reason why. So they set it up specifically so that you can't really use phones in there. Yes, they made sure. They made sure I couldn't use a phone. And then it was just like it wasn't worth it. Yeah. Nothing. None of this stuff really be worth it at the end. Breaking law, breaking rules, none of it be worth it in the end because they got a place for you. They got a place for you, and they got rules and regulations that they will force you to abide by. Yeah, because everybody saw you and Bray's getting famous for that shit, and everybody was just kind of blown away.

13:15Like, holy shit, you can just do that? How are they not just getting in trouble right away, but you guys were getting in trouble for it? I was getting in trouble. But what's the game? You get a phone, you use it. If you're smart, you make some content or do whatever you want, and then you got to get rid of it? Send it out. That's a lot of self-control, right? I could never do it. Yeah. I could never do it. I was spending it. He's having a phone is not easy as you think it is. Yeah. No, it really is fun. You got to program with that. Never. You got to treat that like it's a, you feel me? You got to be on your ground with that.

13:49I got out at a certain time and at a certain time. I'll show you some of these videos. I'm serious. I know a guy who's doing like 30 years in New York who's on Twitter all day. Yeah. And he's getting it serious. They're getting it serious. They know he got a seat. Man, the police, the police, they knew I had a phone. They know when you got in. They know. They know. The police, they used to come in and be like, hey. as long as this building stay cool, as long as the blacks stay cool in this building, we won't hit your cell. But as soon as somebody get to doing too much, we know we're going to hit this cell, this cell, this cell.

14:21So they got something to hang over your head to keep you in line. Make sure, hey, look, y 'all, make sure you keep your people intact. You feel me? But it's like that's cold because you would do that, and then a weirdo mess up the program and we be ready to kill him. Ready like, man, not me, but other people as lifers who got phones and a phone is not a toy. A phone is a car. That phone that you got. Yeah. It's a certain time at a... I paid $25. I had paid$25 for a phone. Paid$2. I had a phone for$2 ,500, and then I had a backup phone for$2 ,000. They hit the whole building and take both my phones.

15:10Just because some dude, he smokes with spice and cat it out and start – Spice is – It's not about to hang that shit. Swimming. Then they like – the police ain't doing nothing but watching the camera. They watching the camera. They looking and seeing who – where they coming from, who coming in front of your cell, what they getting. And he'll be like, man, people's spice is worse than crack. Yeah. Spice is worse. I seen you putting on some PSAs about that. But, yo, so are you getting it through a CO? Yes. Okay. That's the only way to pull that is bringing it in. I'm not going to cut you off, brother, but listen.

15:45Let me tell you a story one time. When I was in camp, I had a CO tell me this to my face. Like, hey, man, look. I don't even mind y 'all going to smoke y 'all weed. I don't even mind a little, feel me, a little whatever, whatever.

They forget who they kid is. Or at peace. Got them? And it's over with. What? When dudes get out of prison and they're weird as f***ing more often than not, that's the shit that they were doing in there that makes them just completely strange now? I don't get turned weird. It's worse than crack, I'm telling you. I've just seen people sell they wholesale, get they TV, hot pot, shoes, shirt. I've just seen people sell they package before they get it.

Straight, the General. I love him to death. That's Uck. He'd tell you it's not worth it. He want to go home. He want to go home and steal the night. It's just it's not worth it. And when you get older and mature. I done took a life before. I just got out of prison for taking a life. I'm a convicted killer. It was not worth it and it don't make you feel, no, you don't feel better. You don't feel nothing. You just know that at the end of the day, you got to talk to you don't have to make your peace with the creator.

22:23The creator will have to come talk to you and you have to explain to him why did you kill his creation? And when it comes around, you better be justified because that's what so I just don't my nephews no matter how much I try to preach to them they'll be like nigga you preaching to us but you a hypocrite because this is what you want and I'll be like it's low key it's too late for me you feel me I gotta move the way I move and I'm stuck in my ways but I'm trying I'm a father now I'm a grown man you got your girl pregnant on a conjugal a visit no i got my i or before you i liked it right before i came to jail i got a female pregnant i never got to touch him damn near the whole time i was in jail i met my son in person three months before i got out but the whole time i was in prison i was taking care of him that's why i was hustling i was hustling to take care of my son i was sending my my child's mother like three thousand dollars twenty four hundred every month you feel me and that still don't mean nothing either.

23:28I was taking good care of my family, and guess what? She still was doing whatever the hell she wanted to do. But can you even hold it against her when you're in that position? Hell yeah, I hold it against her. You feel me? That's love. That's love. But she human. She human, and that's my dog. Let's go back. So you got shot up when you were 16, but it wasn't that bad, right? Okay. Then how much longer until the situation happens that gives you your case? Oh, so you got shot again, and then the situation where you got your case is a cyber case. He got shot, and before the mall shooting, he got shot.

24:12It was better. Remember when he was young, he got shot. Okay. The second time, I got it fresh out, and I'm at the mall. I'm with my sister. Situation taken out of A's. I get shot up. I get shot nine times. they tried this. What was that situation? Can you describe like what happened? It was a situation where I was trying to protect my sister. My sister, I was really, I'm known. People know who I am and I was like a tripper, you know? So I like flex up. I wasn't trying to shoot nobody because I grew up with some of these people. But it happened. I got shot, you know? And you shot back all tomorrow?

24:54I didn't shoot nobody. Somebody, whatever happened, happened. Okay. You know, that's still an open case. Nobody ever been charged for that. Oh, okay. Nobody ever been charged for that, and I don't want nobody to be charged for that. Something happened. You feel me? I just was shot up, and, you know, all praise to the Most High. Thank you, Allah, for letting me bounce back from that. And it was crazy because me getting shot on that case helped me on my underlying case where somebody got murdered. Somebody got unaligned. So how old were you in that situation at the mall? I was like 18, 19. Okay.

25:34And so that was super fucked up, but they never ended up charging you? Did they arrest you? Did you get brought in? Nothing? No, I got shot. Okay. I was when I got shot. I got, I had to, uh, yeah. And then I ended up coming back to jail. Then I end up, I was in Gardena. Like I said, I hang out with the shotguns on the daily. G-Mob. That's the situation where my people lived in Gardena. Granny, nigga. I was with some shotguns, some hoover. I was with everybody, you know, and the situation take place. And then somebody, he get the bluffing. You had already been shot, so you weren't really trying to.

26:11Get shot again. You weren't trying to play defense. You were like, I'm going to just get the. I was playing defense. Okay. I did not wake up that morning and intend to kill nobody. Right. I did not, but I have mental health issues. I suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, and I knew, oh, boy. I knew what he was going to do, and he lost his life. And he's someone who was an enemy, or was he someone that you would have been cool with? I was cool. But the situation got out of control. The situation is. He was cool, and I was cool with his people. Oh, yeah, ally. Yeah. you know, it happens though.

26:49That's why the streets, the street shit get beat. Yeah. You would kill your homie. You would kill an ally. But I really,

26:58on everything I love, I did not want to kill that dude. Right. I feel like he forced me to do it. Because, okay, the situation that happened to you is like kind of what I think most people imagine in their mind. It's like, if it came down to it. It's either me or you. Exactly, yeah. It's going to be you every time. Right. You feel me? So in retrospect now, being so much more grown, were you tripping or did you do what you had to do? Or a little bit of both? Okay, so now, by retrospect, I'm going to say this. In California, people don't know this, there is a self-defense law in California. You feel me?

27:36It's not what it is down south. It's not what you live. You have a stand-your-ground law. You do not have to walk away. This is a free country. You can stand your ground. So by the law, I did not have to run away. I did not have to. But I could have walked away. I could have. I chose to react, but I chose to react because I had some friends there. My boy had some boys. They were from shotgun. And I loved them. And if they were drunk, if I would have walked away, In my heart, I felt like he would have killed my friend. Really? And guess what? All them friends all testified against me. Really? Testified against me.

28:20Told them. And would you say that they in jail? Did they lie on you? Did they throw you under the bus? They lied. Or did they keep it real? No. Okay. They didn't even tell the truth. I'm like, bro, if you tell the truth, I'll get self-defense. Ken Tess, if you tell the truth, I'll get self-defense. Because you know what was going on. You know I wasn't on that. But since you was tripping and you was drunk and your boy was drunk, you tried to throw it all on me, and that's weird. You feel me? And then they started getting paid by the district attorney and then got relocated and all that. And then they really got mad because, like I said, I'm born and raised over there in the shotguns.

29:04They were rocking with me. The shotguns that was over there, they gave them the boot. They couldn't hang out no more. You feel me? Shout. You feel me? That's why I got so much. That's why I love the shotguns. You feel me? That's why I love my boys. You want to treat the right way. You feel me? But in reality, you know, everybody make mistakes. I don't even fault them dudes. I don't even fault none of them because we was all young. We was all kids. You know, I just stay out the streets. Just like I'm going to stay out the streets. Because the street, it's nothing for us. It's nothing for us. So, hey.

29:37But they tried to get, but oh boy, he fouled because he lied. First, he told the truth a little bit. And then he said, oh, yeah. And then he did this, too. Then he did this. And next thing you know, I'm charged with all these different homicides. Like, fuck. You lying on me. Now you lying, bro. Now you lying. But all them lies helped me. Because they like, man, he lying about this. And he lying about this. And he lying about this. So he can't be. So all his whole credibility was nothing. And in reality, what really helped me, I got 11 guilty, one not guilty. I was one guilty verdict away from spending the rest of my life in prison.

30:16Wow. I don't know why niggas do that. Like, I don't know why niggas do that. I was one guilty verdict away. So you spent eight years in the county fighting what specific charges? Murder. Just straight up, that was the only charge? No, I was fighting. First, I was fighting. Okay, when I first came to jail, I was fighting special circumstances, multiple homicides, and overkill. and multiple homicides and attempted homicide, attempted murder, burglary, commercial burglary, ex-con with a firearm, felony evade. I'd have been talking to everything. The burglary was a separate situation? Yeah, he just debriefed.

31:00Oh, shit. Everything, bro, this was a dude I used to hang with every day. He just told him. Two separate, four or five, nine. I had a four or five, nine in Arcadia. I had a felony evading in Hermosa Beach when I was on high speed chase. Crashed. I had ex-con with a firearm. Got put over in front of the federal building. Downtown with a 40 with stick. In front of them if I was picking up a female. What else? So you just went to the federal building to pick up a girl and you just happened to have that on you? I keep it on me. I used to keep it on me everywhere I go. And they searched you and they just found it?

31:37No, they didn't. Okay, so they found it in her purse. Oh, sure. But I'm like, it's mine, it's mine, it's mine. Like, I don't want, yeah. No, it's mine. It's mine. Like, I'm not going to let her go down for me. Okay, but you were making it sound like you caught one murder. It was multiple? I didn't kill nobody. Well, I'm a convicted killer. Uh-huh. But I got charged and accused of multiple homicides. But I'm convicted of killing one person. But so the other ones weren't from that situation? and there were just other things? They was on the other. Pull up. Where you from? Baka, baka, baka, baka.

32:12Situations that they never would have known about if it wasn't for your former friends telling them? They would have never knew about nothing if this nigga would have just stopped running his dick sucker. Wow. You feel me? And even if they, and he lied. Let the record reflect. He was lying. I ain't killed nobody. Mm. God damn. So, all right, eight years in there. and like you're just kind of going through the motions? Like why did it take eight years? Okay, so look. All right. I had the key fire by lawyers. And in the L.A. County Jail, L.A. County Jail is, oh, my God, bro. L.A. County Jail is the most dangerous place in the world.

32:52It's wild, huh? It's the most dangerous place in the world. I've been sliced. Yeah. I've been stabbed for recreation, for fun. I've been stabbed. I done did the stabbings. I done knocked out people I done at the end when you it's jail will make you worse it's like you can't even fight your case when you in LA County counting jail yeah that should either turn you to a monster or gonna turn you to a or that should just break you completely I'm like my hands would probably never be the same I done broke my hand phone call coming from baby mama that's what you gotta say I got mine story you ever seen the emoji with the pregnant the emoji just the emoji I pick my son up from school every day.

34:17Kids can feel it like they know like kids feel it. If he don't listen to me, he don't like get on my nerves. Pops, this is my daddy right here. And then see, man, it's a lot of my nerves. You want to take the call? No. Oh, okay. I don't know. So I'm good? I don't know. No. I really don't. So no. Okay, so was it, did you have a public defender or were you able to afford a lawyer? I had a paid lawyer. Okay. Yeah, I had a paid lawyer every time. And were they telling you, like, you're going to be able to beat this? Were they optimistic? No. No. Take this deal. Take this deal. What kind of time were they trying to give you?

These females. Man, don't trust them. It's hard for you to trust now, I'm assuming. I don't trust myself. It's hard to trust. I don't trust myself. Really? I can't trust myself. I put myself in a predicament where I got locked up for damn near 12 years. Yeah. How am I supposed to trust myself? The only person I trust is the creator. Yeah. Straight up. You got closer to God in there? Yeah, I'm a child of God. Okay.

54:24I'm a child of God. But you weren't a Muslim before you went into Muslim? I was born a Muslim. Oh, okay. But I was not. Officially. I was not a follower of the Prophet Muhammad. I was not living like a Muslim. I was born a Muslim. My father's a Muslim.

54:45But, nigga, this was Crip when I came to jail. It was Crip. Because, okay, in your mind, is there any kind of conflict being a Crip and a Muslim? They say you can't serve two gods. There ain't no such thing as Crip God. You feel me? and it is a conflict because how can you say, I said there is no such thing as a Crip God. So how can you serve? How is that serving two gods? You feel me? There's only one God. There's only one creator. I believe in my ancestors, man. You feel me? I believe in Allah. I believe that whatever is going to make you a better person, you should go with. in Islam you do not have to transgress against anybody because of their beliefs and that's why I love such this beautiful religion I don't care if somebody's a Jew I don't care if somebody is a Christian I don't care if they're what they are they can support the birthday party they can think Kanye got I don't care as long as you out there doing good things.

55:57I commend you. As long as you're trying to help people, I commend you because there's a lot of hatred out here in this world. When I was getting released, when I was getting released, those dead homies, niggas said, you'll be back. I said, goddamn. People were saying that to you, really? You'll be back. You guys are like, damn. Many of you niggas, we'll be back. You would think a nigga be ruined for a nigga. Man, you'll be back. Damn, that's how y 'all feel. I don't know. Yeah, homies. That shit crazy, bro. Damn. It's life, though. Okay, so explain this, though. How are you in the county for eight years, and then you end up doing three years in prison?

56:42What happened if there was that transition, and then we can talk about how you beat it? All right, so...

56:52cranks cranks really no so I got so basically I'm fighting my case COVID hit once COVID hit people got EDD people stopped wanting to come to court I guess they was like we don't need the district attorney money no more we got EDD so people stopped wanting to come to court I started trying to press for speedy trial press for speedy trial I ended up getting this new lawyer philippa and uh george goscon come in office george goscon comes in the office and uh right before just uh right before george goscon come in office just because i got a plea i did because i got a hung jury that gave me a plea agreement which was 32 years 11 years for manslaughter plus but i have a strike a juvenile strike that's from when i was 16 hell yeah they Strike if you do something when you if you're over the age of 15 15 years and 363 days.

57:58You can be charged as a dog if you're over, but if you're under than that, they cannot give you a dog strike. I was 16 in two months had a juvenile strike. So they use that strike to double me up. so it was 11 years plus my strike double up to 22 they cannot double up enhancements if anybody tell you they can double up enhancements they're not paying attention to sentence in law and the sentence in law they cannot double up enhancements but they can add an enhancement which was a 10-year gang enhancement or a 10-year gun gun enhancement uh they tried to do it both but they can only sentence they can only give you one enhancement So it was 11 years doubled up to 22 plus a 10-year gang enhancement, which was 32 years.

58:46I said, you and I fucked you two up. Bitch, what are you? What are you, man? George Gascone come into office. They strike my strike. So now they strike my strike and strike my enhancement. So now that same deal is now 11 years. the max on manslaughter with no enhancement 11 years then one third the midterm for ex-con with a firearm 11 years 8 months damn so I'm like hell yeah I take that right now I was supposed to go home from court but because of the victim's family under Marcy's law if I'm not mistaken they the victim's family was like man that's not enough time so they played with my credits so I had to go upstate so that's why I had to go upstate for like a couple more years the next three years and then how do you end up finally getting it overturned or beating it I took a date I took a deal for 11 years oh 8 months I took a deal shout out Felipe again thank you I love you you gave me opportunity to be a free man and to be a father.

1:00:07I let it cold, homie. Changed my life. She got you too. No, she helping my nephew with his case right now. Oh, yeah, yeah. Keep doing your thing, Flee. You know what? What she did was... On your ad charges. She was on all my ad charges. She got all those dismissed. All I did. So what I did was I just took my trine for the... Yeah. Yeah, for the... Yeah. So in your head, do you feel lucky? Or do you feel like you got, for having to spend that much time when it was really a self-defense type situation? Or do you feel lucky that you could have been doing 30 plus years and you really only did 11? I could have had life.

1:00:49Could have been worse. I could have had death. You didn't have a mind and a support. Man, I don't, I'm blessed. I'm blessed. They took me off the streets. I could have been dead. and I could have got caught for something way worse. I could have got caught for something way worse. I should do some foul shit. I should do some cold shit.

There's people who've changed. It's the people who ain't changed either though.

I have never been comfortable in jail I've been how can I say this I've been well off I've just had three four thousand dollars worth of food and I swear to god two three fours a gang of dope half a pound of crystal half a pound of heron thirty thirty perks 10 phones for sale everything in there 10 pair of shoes and I'm like I miss pussy how you got that much shit in your cell and you're not like you're taking no pussy but you're worried about them running up in your shit and finding they find a half a pound of meth yeah it's different that sounds like the craziest judge How much more time will you catch for something like that?

1:04:21We'll probably get some time. They can be 80, probably five, six years. But why are you so confident that you could just have that and not get caught up? I wasn't confident, but I thought I was confident that I was just confident. I don't know how you was moving. I was moving. I didn't have that in myself. I'd be like, you know what? Conscious on that type of show. I go send this to the home. You got a year, man. But we hustling. We hustling. Police. The police is bringing it in. The police is bringing it in.

But, okay, so did you clean up your act at the end because you were like, I don't want to get over when I'm just about to leave? I cleaned up my act when I got, like, my last year.

You can't straddle the fence. Was it hard not making the YouTube content anymore?

1:06:57Because probably for a while there you felt like you had a sense of community. You're hearing, you're reading these comments every day. You're enjoying. It was all fun and games, but it was hard because people used to hit me up and tell me, hey, J-Hood, you're making me want to stay out the streets. like J-Hood yeah crime ain't the numbers ain't adding up I'm gonna go get me a job I start feeling right I'll tell the people and that's all it's about it ain't even really about no money the money don't come and go for sure are people boozing phones? what boozing? putting it what? what? yes they put them in their ass what?

I'm not going to say who, but Brick Benny told me about certain people. Hey, son. I know what's wrong with me. That's on me. The police running there. Free my n***a tank from 40s and a caterpillar in a 3R n***a. My mama, n***a. But you're not saying these whooping phones, right? N***a, they had these little ass. They got these little.

You're like, come on, get the disinfectant. The disinfectant. Oh, my God. The methods have got to be crazy. When Dirk got caught with the Apple Watch and the feds, you think that might have been the method? No, I mean, I think Bird boss dog. He boss, boss. That was smooth, though. That was smooth, though. That was smart. I ain't never told with that. I don't think this was dirt. Look, okay. Explain it that way. In comparison to the phone, the Apple Watch seems like a breeze.

1:09:52I could boo for Apple Watch right now compared to this thing. And I don't know how they shit work, but in our prison, in the package book, they got, you could actually buy watches. And they got a watch that looked just like an Apple Watch in that. So he could have, like, he was on the right. He was on the right little. Okay. I don't know how to do this one. Booth these. What? Go to the OR like, hey, the homie's like, hey, cuz. Let the motherfuckers come your way. Wrap this up with some tissue. Hey, homie. I mean, yeah. I mean, dudes tell stories about keeping knives in their ass like it's nothing.

1:10:29It's the ISU, boy. They can turn to a whole different type of thing. But is that like the code is like you do it, but then nobody's going to come out and be like, yo, I was the booth god. I had four phones in my ass. nobody's gonna talk about he just showed somebody mad love for it I just showed somebody I'm all his gross I ain't horrifying it but I'm just saying like damn I know this is a great me and I'm like what the fuck I still to this day don't know how to get that shit oh no that's all they need to know to not go to prison do not go to prison that's what I swear to God is what I'm saying this is really God Because you'll be a legend for having a boof stuff.

1:11:12Four of them, bro. Four little dominoes. Four is like a square. Four is T-Mobile. That's the dick. Bro, that's a Lexington Steel right there. That was crazy. That's a dodger dog. But square, yeah. But when we say actually seen how small the phone was and how... I'm just seeing people who did. Gotta take the case off. Google that money. The case off, yeah. And a little bullet. Take it easy on yourself. Google that motherfucker and watch. This is what they're doing. What they're doing? They're doing this, and they're just like, they hooped the whole phone. Charge it? No, they just cut the tip off of this, and they'll use the universal charger in.

1:11:52And Ricky, look, Pong's calling from his prison right now. Damn. What's going to be for the pen right now? Crazy. So wait, you embrace, I feel like people put you in the same sentence all the time. You had some stories about it and stuff. What's your relationship with him? My brother. Okay. He's Lanes. That's my brother. You met him on the inside, though, right? Met him on the inside. Okay. I know his sister from the streets, though. Look. I'm going to be at home. You had him. Look. Right there. The world's smallest working phone. Okay. There you go. Booth that real quick. Facts, man. I'm not making this.

1:12:21Since he was having jellies, though. See, I ain't never seen those. Am I making this shit up? But so were you and Braze, like, trading tips and tricks about, like, doing the YouTube content or what? I started Braze. I told Braze. I started Braze. I started C-Star. That was me. Okay. I told them, hey, this is what we need to do, bro. We, like, we real street niggas. We really got stories. I'm almost a positive shit. Dave was like, nigga, we, Braze like on 412, little else, on GM, I'm exposing niggas. Yeah. And they like, he doing what he do in the street. Shout out my brother Braze. You feel me?

1:12:58Braze is really crazy. Yeah, it seems like it. Braze is really crazy. Braze is really burnt the fuck out. Yeah. And I love him. You think he's coming home? Yes. Really? Yep. I know he coming home. Wow. Because we're going to get him home. Yeah. We're going to get him home. Him sitting in this seat would be insane. Him sitting in this seat would be, oh, eh. That was what he would say. It would be so crazy to see him in real life. It's crazy to come home. When I walked in here, it was crazy as seeing you in real life. Too much time. I don't want to talk to you all right. Life and shit, right? Yeah, and shit like that.

1:13:30I mean, even just seeing you in real life was kind of crazy. But seeing him too would do it. Nobody ever thought I was really getting out. Everybody thought I was lying because they knew my case. Everybody knew I knew my case. Everybody knew I was in County Joe stabbing people. Everybody knew all the bullshit, all the scrutiny, all the negativity, all the everything. But at the end of the day, God don't make no mistakes. And I got a purpose. And I got a purpose. And I just want to spread my message. It ain't worth it. You don't want to booth a phone. No. I'm telling you, if it's not gone, you're going to...

1:14:11I'm not going to call you on that. Go off. It'll vibrate. You don't want to feel that. You don't want to feel that from the inside out. You don't want to feel that. Might like it a little too much. Oh, wow. I hear good things. Yo, but okay So you ended up Taking the stand in your own trial Yeah, I admit it, that's why I'm not Uncomfortable saying like Hey Yes, I unalived this dude But I did plan to unalive this dude And I'm sorry that I did it And that's sincere, I'm sorry Shout out to the victim family You feel me, I did not mean to take your people away from him I did not mean to take him away from y 'all and I apologize for that.

1:15:01And if there's anything I can do to help y 'all, and I hope y 'all can forgive me, you know? That's the biggest thing right there. I forget myself. God has already forgiven me. I hope y 'all can. Say that again. But so, okay, you got some shit while you were inside for taking a stand in your situation? I got some shit for all type of stuff. So explain how that went down. First, the politics in jail or, okay, California has the strictest politics on everything. They'll call you a snitch for anything, right? And literally, that's why in jail, they'll call you this. In California, they call your cripping or your blooding or your southsiding or your press, your gangbanging, a career.

1:15:49even though it don't come with no 401k, no retirement fund, none of that. They call it a career, you feel me? And everybody want to have the best career. Everybody want to, you feel me? So people, it's like, and it's a favoritism game, right? So yeah, I got voted out, you know. And this is why you're still in the county? No, hell no. Oh, this is, okay. In prison, I got a tour with some older cats. I got a tour with, I got lied on, you know but it is what it is you feel me i ain't ashamed of nothing dead homies and that's when i really start feeling like this shit was bullshit because i'm like damn y 'all talking about this what about the last 10 heads i done bust what about the 50 stabbings i done did what about me being shot on camera and nobody going to jail for it what about me standing tall in the paint what about like where's the where's my due process and because you took the stand just to basically say i was defending myself you didn't actually tell on anybody right and nobody even really thought you did nobody was accusing you of that they just said oh a crip should never take the stand yeah i have never put like this nobody has ever did an hour in a 10 a second in jail for anything I have ever said.

1:17:14It has never been my intention for anyone to go to jail for anything that I have said. And if there's nobody that in prison or has ever been to prison that can say, hey, J-Hood is the reason why my cell got searched, my house got searched, anything. There's nobody that can ever say that. There's nobody can ever say J-Hood did some buster shit. J-Hood didn't want to fight. J-Hood didn't do, there's nobody who can say that. There's nobody, that person does not exist. And if that person exists, let's meet up, you know, and let's talk like adults. Or we can chop it up, we can do whatever, but I'm going to tell you, you lying.

1:18:04You feel me? I want to see it. but that's why I've been everywhere. I've been, I'm outside, bro. I'm outside every, I've been everywhere they say I can't go. And I'm outside every day, dead homies. And I'm going to keep being outside. So you think people were just politicking on you because they wanted to be in your spot? They didn't want me to go home. They was just there. I know they wouldn't. That's one of niggas, what? His situation too? So then did you have to be on like a different yard or like how did that work? Like I said, it came to a point when the homies was like, hey, look, we know that this is some bullshit, but we want you to, like the next mission on you, next five on you.

1:18:53I'm like, all right, that's enough to not go. That's easy. But for a weapon? So you're telling me you want me to hurt somebody on camera? after I just spent eight years fighting my case. I'm like, man, shit. If y 'all telling me that in order, that's when I start to feel like, oh, they're not even trying to find out the truth. They're just trying to secure me a life sentence. They just don't want me to go home. It's deep. You feel me so? And that's like a cautionary tale for the kids out there is that if you really get into this gangbanging shit and you just do what everybody tells you to do, then you're going to be in a position where you got to do some crash-out shit just to appease some f***ing ass, right?

1:19:37I mean, no offense to him or whatever, but you might be a smart guy with a good head on your shoulders like you, and then you got some super burnt-out J-Cats that realistically don't have a future, and you're supposed to take orders from them in order to just stay in good graces, which is... In good graces and a black cut. Anyway, you telling me I got to do what? What? To who? And they told me, hey, yeah, go bust on him. Like, for what? He in debt. How much he in debt? He in debt,$100. Can I pay the debt? No, you can't just pay your way. What you mean? By the way, you want me to stab this dude?

1:20:11Mm-hmm. Try to take this dude's life on camera over$100? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I got it. You know how many$100 I got? Right. I can pay that 10 times. How about I pay it? No, no. It's the principle. The principality. It's the principle. principality of it kids think about that this van family his family ain't got it why do you gotta die because you broke why do you gotta die because you broke so did that hurt you though how does that actually happen how do you end up on the other yard you just gotta go hey I'm out of here no I got jumped I got removed of two yards and then IGR they send me to a non-designating yard.

1:20:56You ain't got to like, all you do is just go. That's what they're talking about, SMY yard? That's what they're talking about? Yeah. Well, there's really no such thing as SMY no more. It's non-designating. Okay. It's like... Every yard. Every prison is like that. Yeah, now. Like, every prison. If you was at fire camp, it's 50-50. Every prison is like that. Besides, well, Soledad is like us. Let's have the 180s. And some in the 180s is like that. And so it's not like 100 % you're hanging out with, like rapists and shit like that because that's what they make it out to be, right? That's kind of one of the reasons why I still stayed in jail so long.

1:21:32Because I can show you I didn't remove the gang of rapists off the yard. Like child molesters. That's what, you know, that is where you really get your hands dirty. And it's like there's, people call it like it's a PCR. In my opinion, there's no such thing as a ceiling capability. Right, awesome. It used to be the case so now it's different. People died. There's more people dying. All right, bro. I'm 50-50. 50-50? What? With those type of allegations? Because, look, all right, on the line, right, under the prison politics, under the prison structure, say me and you get into it. You a white boy.

1:22:10I'm black. Me and you get into it. You got to be, if you want to stab me, you got to write 10 kites to your big homies. I got to write 10 kites to my big homies. And then he got to say, yeah, he got to say, yeah, you got to say somebody's going to say no. You know what I'm saying? But if you're on a non-designate yard, a 50-50 yard, me and you get into it, we ain't got to ask nobody nothing. Oh, okay. So it's crazier. It is like Big Brother. Wow. So when you said you stabbed 50 people, a lot of those were situations where it was just like a child. No, in county jail. In county jail. Oh, okay. The 50-50 yards is like the L.A.

1:22:49county jail. Oh, okay. Except it's like the L.A. county jail, except with the whole California. Wow. Basically. And like I said, I see people dying there, bro. Yeah. It's people dying there. Like, they're not playing food. Especially with them type of allegations, though. Even, like, if you even on a 50-50, those, like, rape and that type of shit, it's going to holler at you, bro. Nigga's not playing with you. Nigga, it's still got to think. It's still politics. It's still, yeah, it's real. You got real on them yards who ain't told on a Sunday, never, you know what I mean? But just points came down and they just like, you feel me?

1:23:26Most people on them yards are people who got dirty politics. Really? Or been down 30, 40 some years and they don't get their level ones. But so did it kind of hurt your pride though, just like being in that situation, knowing that people were going to use it against you to talk shit? Really, at first it did, but then I started thinking like, damn. Once you went I'm looking like Damn Half the people on That's still on the line I beat their ass Half the people That's on the line And then When I look about it When I think about it Like dang That's the G homie They said he used to Like rape niggas Back in the crib My girl Like he's like You remember me like So y 'all taking orders From the G homie Who used to rape niggas Why Or Like It's just selective Politicking so I never And at the end of the day I'm like I'm a man first.

1:24:16I am what I am. And when I'm not, I can never be. I'm not ashamed of who I am. How'd you end up going back and forth with Munchy B? Because Munchy B did not know what he was talking about. What was he saying? He was saying that I told him somebody. And he said he just talked to Tiny Bob. I was with Tiny Bob two days ago. That's my homeboy. That's what I said. Tell Tiny Bob to get on the podcast. I was just with him two days ago. two days ago from today. I was just with him outside. Just gave me a... Told me he loved me. That's my homeboy. Oh, okay. So that's why I'm saying Munchie didn't know what he was talking about.

1:24:52He was involved with himself in crib business. And I never had none against Munchie. But you come for me, I'm gonna come for you. And at the end of the day, I'm on the internet. I'm not pushing the same narrative as you. You talking about shoot him up, bang, bang, and gang politics and Duke D-Woop and Braves and Trevor and all this. man I'm on some man stop gangbanging kids nigga cause people be forgetting that they gotta be men people forget that they have to be men when they join gangs like Munchy you arguing with me bro you blind we can't even do nothing fool and I wouldn't want to do nothing to you fool I was just like he was coming for me so I came for him I don't got nothing against that dude I would never have I don't want y 'all got no ill intent for that dude but he didn't know what he was talking about.

1:25:40Is it tricky because you clearly want to change your life but then at the same time to survive out here you gotta have a certain attitude, a certain mentality. Yeah, it's tricky but like I know this God don't make no mistakes if it's my time, it's my time. You know? And if anybody try to come for me, try to come hurt me or snatch something

1:26:10please think twice please

1:26:15because we really value our life I would not hesitate in protecting myself I would not hesitate in protecting myself for real bro because you don't know what the next mother and I can't right over there turn it to anything a robbery might turn it to a body so I gotta stop this before it even that's all I'm gonna think about but as far as If you somebody who used to beef with my gang, I don't care about that no more, bro. So you don't get no points for hurting me. You feel me? I'm not going to let you hurt me, but you don't get no points. I'm not involved. I'm not involved. You hear me? I'm not involved no more.

1:26:53If you try to hurt me, you hurting a child of God, dude. You hurting somebody who's trying to do better, who's trying. And y 'all know. Well, I know I'm trying because I ain't been over there. because y 'all know any other time that I've been out or I've been out, y 'all would have heard about me being over here already. I'm not bluffing. Y 'all know me. So there's like two different mentalities you can have. You can either be like, I'm ducked off. I'm staying in the crib. I'm staying out of shit because I want to protect my freedom. Or are you more like, you know what? I'm outside. I'm doing what I want to do.

1:27:28Gangster and a gentleman, man. Man, I'm outside, bro. Okay. I'm outside. I'm taking my son to the park. I'm taking my son to Shakey's. I'm taking my son to Chuck E. Cheese. Pretty soon y 'all going to see backpack giveaways. Y 'all going to see me passing out food to the homeless. Y 'all going to see gifts, giveaway. Y 'all going to see all that. It's a process. I hope y 'all support me and keep me out of trouble. You feel me? Keep me out of trouble. Look out for that stream channel. Leave me alone. That stream channel. Yeah, are you going to get back to making content? Yeah, I am. I'm going to get back to making content.

Do y 'all want me to keep making content? That's what it is. I think for sure they want to see that. I mean, the fact that you were doing videos, getting 50 ,000 views, 60 ,000 views while incarcerated is pretty crazy. I didn't even believe. I had to go see it for myself. I was like, wait, let me see. They really tuning in on this nigga. I'm like, damn. Y 'all going to see. I got some good content. Y 'all going to see that. You can change your life.

Go in the crowd of your homies. I guarantee you somebody know me. Somebody know me, and they going to tell me you. I'm really like that. for real for real like I'm not playing I ain't never played you feel me and if I could they'd tell you if I sitting right here can tell you that it's not worth it bro it's not worth it because they'd tell you I was all the way in all the way invested 100 % invested now you saying that is a big deal yes a lot of these kids out here that's going to mean something because they won't listen to them Until they really seen it.

I'm going to jump in the ring with some peoples. You feel me? Anybody got a problem with me and got a problem with the narrative I'm pushing that this gang banging shit is over with. Over. Why do you say that? Like what makes you feel like it's over? Just the changes in society or is it just the fact that you've seen it all?

It's the same feeling that you get when your homie get killed on the streets and you can do something. It hurt the same.

1:33:03It hurt the same. And at the end of the day, what do we got? Just a bunch of young men dead over some shit that realistically could have been resolved through a fist fight or through arguing. Really, you don't even have to be a fist fight. A lot of this shit, bro. Yeah. You don't even people, a lot of times people pick up guns because they don't want to fight.
