Atlanta Drug Kingpin Reveals What It's Actually Like Working For The Jalisco New Generation Cartel

This is the story of a former street hustler, Eric G, who went from growing up in Bayside, Queens during the crack era to running multi-state marijuana operations connected to Jamaicans and eventually one of the powerful and dangerous Mexican cartels in the world before being busted and being spent to prison.

He opens up about:

-Growing up in a Jehovah’s Witness household in Queens during the 80s

-Early exposure to drug culture through family and neighborhood influences

-Starting in the game at just 13 with crack vials in South Jamaica

-Moving to Atlanta and building connections with Jamaicans and the music scene (including early ties to Lil Jon & Black Market Entertainment)

-Becoming a wholesale supplier, moving hundreds of pounds weekly

-Trips to Mexico and meeting cartel-level suppliers

-Reflecting on the dangers, close calls, and lessons learned
