Meet Miami's WILDEST Gangster: Ultra-Violent Miami Criminal Exposes Florida's BLOODY Underworld

OG Gigavelli is a certified Miami original — born into violence, shaped by the streets, and forged in some of the most brutal prisons in America.

OG breaks down a side of Miami history almost never discussed: the Black and Islander underworld that operated alongside — and often beneath — the Cocaine Cowboys era. From Liberty City and Brownsville to federal penitentiaries and near-death prison riots, this is a raw, unfiltered account of survival, crime, and eventual transformation

OG came up during the wild 80s and 90s, where robbery was second nature, violence was currency, and the streets raised kids faster than families ever could. He details:

-Seeing dead bodies as a child in Miami
-Carjackings and robberies in broad daylight
-The structure of Miami’s Black drug economy before it was ever “professionalized” elsewhere
-Stabbings, race wars, and near-fatal ambushes inside state and federal prison
-How Islam and time forced him to confront who he had become

This isn’t glorification — it’s documentation. A firsthand account of a world most people only know through movies like Scarface or Cocaine Cowboys, told by someone who actually lived it.
