I heard about this situation from all of my OG’s. They said that the Jamaican guys came to DC trying to take over. But the DC natives was not allowing it to happen that easy. They said that the Jamaican’s was no joke, they came ready to K!LL. It was a tough time back then, from what I was told. Respect to DC for holding they’re ground, Condolences to all that lost their life during that time…

I was in jessup Maryland prison with a guy from the posse. He's a Muslim now, and taught me how to play soccer. Very humble guy, and I didn't know abt his past for abt 3 years until I read a don diva magazine. ✌❤

I was 13 and lived around Glenarden when this happened. They had the whole complex off the chain. My moms broke her lease to get away from there after a few months. It was crazy.

Yeah Slim. Another Banger. I'm from 14th street upt D.C but move to Landover. Me and my brother thought Maryland was sweet but learned fast it was hoods everywhere

Take the wha and left the wha!!!! Classic

Thanks for bring light to dmv history

Slim I’m enjoying your content because you’ve been very on point with our city’s history. Great work homie👍🏼

I can remember growing up in Landover. And that apt complex which was right across from Landover Mall was told not go up in there..

Keep up the great work! DC needs this.

I come from the other side of this. All my friends from Flatbush Brooklyn were Jamaicans. I remember in 1990 my friend’s little brother went out to DC to work for some local Jamaican crew. They didn’t get killed though but they didn’t stay out there that long.

It's crazy how Philly n DC has similar stories when it comes to Street tales We had beef with them shower posse Brothers in the 80s when the jbm junior Black Mafia chased them out of Philly and shut them down. They was trying to run through Philly but we wasn't having it get down to lay down.

Keep it running 💯👍🏿🇯🇲🇱🇷

@nightryda 707 Thanks for the video, I was looking for stories about Jamaican gangs in DC. Respect ✌🏾🇯🇲

Great vid! DC was no joke during the 80s!!

Another great video

Keep it up big bro much love from Htown

Nice Work Bruh Keep Em Coming 💯 I’m From BrightSeat Rd ( Glenarden Apartments) Of course they torn down the hood it was wild out there…I’m a lil too young for the Jamaicans era but I heard some crazy stories from my OGs

👍🏽 dudes from the city wasn’t having it! They tried to set up shop in a couple places around the city but found out it wasn’t sweet like they thought.

the shower posse lol you be bring me back

"Yep they re-sentenced to the death again" - that was gold 😅😅😅😅

They tried that shit out here in North Richmond, VA too in Jackson ward projects them boys won’t going for it all out war

Bro awesome content 💯

I remember when the Jamaicans came too DC trying too take over DC guys wasn't having it 👀🤭

Great post 👍🏿

Yo bro it is nice to see you again back at work and it been a while for me because I had to get a new phone so I will be looking forward for your video stay strong bro

I was there for all of it. DC is small nowhere to run. You do dirt it's definitely going to catch up to in them streets 💯. #soufsideDC

Brah this is dope ppl forgot about this history in the DMV.

From 88 - 90, DC and parts of PG were a damn killing zone shit was off the chains. People who didn't grow during that time really don't understand it's not like we talking Chicago, LA, NY, etc man DC is smaller than Brooklyn!! You're bound to run into all the cruddy, grimey, backstabbing scoundrels and shit everybody had guns back then!! Them Jamaicans had spot in Belle Haven apartments in Landover shit was like New Jack city (those who know know...) Great content - I salute all my comrades who made it through and to all who were lost may your soul rest in peace.

Yeah I remember them in North Dallas as a kid in the late 80's

Jamaicans left their mark all over the East coast. I heard stories about them in Boston back in the 80s. They was ruthless and didn’t care about prison or death. If you wasn’t Jamaican, you was food in their eyes. They was beefing with the Cape Verdeans in Boston and it got ugly. If they didn’t get deported 20 at a time, they would be running a lot of shit on the East coast! Thing is they came from those political wars in Jamaican and were trained to kill. So they come out here and it was like taking candy from a baby until the locals started fighting back.

U getting better bro nice presentation. I read a little about the story but didn't know much detail. Keep applying PRESSURE. #PLEVEL

Can't wait for next one

👀 my cousins are from crown heights and Flatbush they used to come down every weekend. I remember this like it was yesterday.

Big up yourself, your narrative is on point. The notorious SP. An the British link up. Dangerous set of Yaad man. On the other hand, got my headphones on couple rolled enjoying your video. 😤💨💨💯👊🏿

Kirk Was Serious About His Work 🎯

For the most part the dreadlocks set up in gray areas like Riverdale, like how MS set up in College Park. Landover was a jive ballsy place to touch down

I was 12/13 at this time living in Landover about 3 miles from where this happened! The whole DMV was a war zone back then….I remember a day at Columbia Park rec, some guys from DC threatened to kill Jay Bias and take him across DC line to add to the murder rate! I was scared out my mind! Still have PTSD from growing up in the DMV.

In Vivian Blake book, he said he knew it was time to leave DC when 12 year old were shooting at them.

Slim this is another DOPE ASS piece…The Guy that was killed on Orange st was Lil Eric a yung fly money getting Ngga & My mother just moved us from around their to Windgates Apartments I was hella young during that time & infatuated by what I seen outside & what the Big Boys do Keep up the good work Slim

Wow I remember this time in the DMV

Great work you're producing of our city ! I wanted to know if you were gonna do a piece on the alleged 8th and H street crew who was falsely accused of a horrific crime in the 80's

Big Up da Shower mon dem. True Gun mon. Shout out to the content as well

Glenarden side of Brightseat Rd. Not the Landover side. Maple Ridge Apartments. Right across the street from Landover Mall. Right next to Glenarden Apartments.

Yeah shyt was wild around that time fr I was a young dude roun that time . I'm from Dc south east side

They tried to take over philly around the same time. Didn’t end good for them. Shower posse I think they were called it was a big war in philly around 90 92. Got to give it to them crazy ass Jamaicans tho they was coming back just as hard

Brightest Glenarden was on another level

My mother and them told me the story they say DC held it down 💎💪🏾💯💯💯

The Jamaicans used to go crazy in landover during the 90s

The posse is an old dinosaur story, I'm from NYC where they were heaviest, they don't exist anymore, their story stops at 1991, there's no stories after that. Delroy uzi Edwards is in prison crying into a 30 year sentence, never coming home, someone did a recent video how he's trying to keep sane due to boredom in supermax ,not worth it,he probably didn't even ball a full 5 maybe 3,4 years most. The black mob from Philly said their clowns because they all snitched while black mob stood tall, streets is wack

They came to DC in the mid to late 80's....they couldn't fist fight at all🤣, but they would fire that nine quick....they were too damn wild,and gradually dissappeared....city under siege would show most of the murder scenes,after the 10 o'clock news....Aye, I Never thought this would be on the fckn internet

Baltimore? I'm not familiar... I was born & raised in Baltimore, never heard of them. Learn something new every day! Thanks for the video!😊

I lived in Landover around this time.....King Square 2.5 boy do I have stories......lets just say they was kicked out and left to go behind PG Plaza lol

They were also in Langley Park Maryland

You forgot to say the shower posses were in with the CIA that’s why they had a lot of firepower. The CIA was training the Jamaicans in Jamaica 💯

I use to hustle in that neighborhood back then it was called village in the woods directly across the street from Landover mall. Back then it wasn't no IHOP only hot shops. Shit even I got shot 7 times

My Guy 💪🏾💯... Workin ...Foot on necks 💪🏾💯

It's always serious when you see newsman Walter can't remember his last name but the story must be very factual

They weren't so tuff. If they were, they would've invaded Beverly Hills or somewhere like that instead of picking on their own.

I’m Guyanese 🇬🇾…let’s just say Jamaicans are well known in the West Indies 😂….

This happened to O’Donnell heights bmore in the 90s ,

🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

The 90s was dangerous

I remember this gang when they came to South Jamaica queens

The real shottas

I remember when they came to Philly with that tough guy shit soon after anything Rasta was getting killed

DAMN I DIDN’T KNOW THEY HAD MEMBERS IN DALLAS AND HOUSTON!!

🥇🦈

I remember this …..the DMV was never as violent as it is until the Jamaicans started pumping around here,after them? Shit it’s still going on….I remember the name “Kirk Bruce” to this day for some reason

I use to live in Mayfair the Jamaicans had beef with the NY black guys down Mayfair in the mid 80's the Muslims moved them out but the Jamaicans were everywhere when I was a lil jit

Man, i could tell you some real stories about what happened.

Jamaicans tried to take over every city they went to.

The Kirk Bruce at 7:04 looks completely different from the one in the lineup with the other two guys.

I was scared to death of the Jakes as a kid. They was tearing shit up in the dmv

Kirk Bruce look serious

Back then Landover md was called baby se

I rembrr styn n stone lake and the Jamaicans came threw ther sound lik a war zone out ther tht day

and delroy uzi edwards was in dc wen he came to da us

I was born n raised around Mayfair in NE DC & I remember my folks used to tell me stories about da Jamaicans back in da 80$... I remember when da Nation of Islam used to secure the neighborhood in da 90$

He is up Cumberland rite now.

BADNESS

😎

I’m from Atlanta I didn’t know Dc was getting down like this until I watched this channel don’t get me wrong I know it go down anywhere but damn

My brother was one of the person that was killed Donnie if fuck me up for years because I was the one he talked too and than he left the house I wouldn't have thought that would have been the last time that I see my brother continue to rest peaceful my brother love you

Was enough money for everyone, violence made it difficult.

I like yo contact

Fabulous was said to have 100 bodies or close to it.

Where part 2 at ?!

Am at the apartments right now 😂😭🤨

I remember back in the mid 80's early 90's when the Jamaicans tried to take over in Richmond Virginia that didn't end so well. Don't get me wrong they bodied niggaz too but majority of them didn't make it

I'm from 14th and Newton DC uptown I grew up around that time and we stood our ground back then if u had dreads u were a target dats why when I got lock up in 2000 did 5 yrs in feds yungins from city coming in wit dreads talking about dat was da style. I was shocked when I went in u got killed if u had dreads

Do a video on Cappers

You must weren't informed about Langley Park.....

The NOI made em step off 😁👍🏿

Peace,I tell niggas all the time,out of everybody that came to try and take over our project the Jamaicans was the only ones to have a little success,this real rap,last day of school in 89',we get off the school bus it's a nigga in the middle of the street busting a shot gun,I seen a lot of shit growing up,but for a unknown nigga to be doing that shit in J.Ward was unheard of,they had bt a 2 month run,but niggas was at they ass,the main nigga name was small man,don't know if that really was his name but that's what we called him,I seen niggas flip his car shooting it up,that nigga got out the car and said,u can't kill me,the run was coming to a end at that point, Richmond,Va.was approaching murder cap the next year,but them niggas were smart they ended up not far from our project in these apt.nobody hung in,they were ragged as hell,but that's were they ended up at,was to easy to get at them then,real life

The downside is every dude in the street seems to move dumb. Egos is the downfall

Did you hear about the one where 1989 over in the Langston lane area when one of two Jamaican brothers got shot in the head

where was delroy- uzi?

At this time they did this in all major cities they did the same where I'm from Dallas,Tx but we ran most of em out and the ones we didn't the Feds picked up

Trinis fraid them ...Jamaicans have belly wow them do not care where them go them bad anyway ...nice video tho ...🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Mayfair never fair & paradise ain't never nice! NE DC
