Charlie B’s story is raw, unfiltered, and straight from the heart of the struggle. Growing up in an environment where survival meant adapting to the streets, he faced arrests, gang life, and prison sentences before he even understood how the justice system worked.

Locked up on Rikers Island, Charlie taught himself criminal law from the law library fighting his own case and negotiating his sentence down from 10 years to 7, representing himself “pro se” against the system. Before that, he had already done nearly 2 years in DFY, 6 years in prison for armed robbery, and multiple parole violations. He beat 5 counts of attempted murder on two different occasions and survived both the streets and prison.

Charlie B has worn many titles: crack baby, gangsta, big homie, drug dealer, scammer, pimp, robber, rapper, actor, and even his own lawyer. But today, he wears the title of Father, CEO, and Author. He is the founder of HatBoy Records, LLC and a co-founder of Mentoring Young Rising Achievers Kids Inc. (MYRAS KIDS INC) a nonprofit dedicated to at-risk, justice-impacted youth and families.

This is The Lil Homie Story a testimony of survival, growth, and redemption.
