News Listen to my NPR interview about BMF
Posted by Mara Shalhoup on Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 7:14 PM
Steve Goss, host of "Morning Edition" on WABE 90.1 FM (our local NPR affiliate), was kind enough to invite me on the show to talk about the Black Mafia Family.
BMF was a $270 million cocaine enterprise that had ties to some of the biggest names in hip-hop. Its co-leaders, Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory and his brother, Terry "Southwest T," were sentenced in September to 30 years in federal prison.
Last week, another 10 of the 150 BMF associates indicted in seven states, including the rapper Barima "Bleu DaVinci" McKnight, were sentenced in federal court in Atlanta.
My BMF interview with NPR's Goss aired this morning, but you can still listen to it online.
