On Episode 61, We delve into the story of Bobby Shmurda and GS9. A crew born out of strife in the local underworld, following the death of a gang member who was a close friend of many future GS9 members. Which forced local youths to come together for protection, leading to the formation of GS9. Which would house G Stone 90 crips, 823 G Stone crips, members of 1090, and sets of the Bloods and Brims. But really the gang was united more by their rivalries, like that with Brooklyn's Most Wanted and Folk Nation, than any one gang affiliation within the group. Which would result in the 24 shootings and 1 murder carried out by GS9 in just a little less than 2 years. While they ran drugs on East 95th Street, from King's Highway to East New York Avenue. A run on the streets that would put their de facto leader, Bobby Shmurda, behind bars at the height of his newfound success in the rap game.
