October/November 2017 5 THE LIFE OF A LEGITIMATE HUSTLER

Antonio Salvatore Servidio story is complex, as it is complicated, but yet interesting as a fire- arms dealer he was able to meet several of the Bay area's hottest Rappers. The perk of being a firearm and weed dealer was that he was able to use his network of rappers to start a pro- motion company that was inspired by his friend , from the idea Tupac spawned in his mind Antonio Servidio started promoting small concerts in the Bay area. "I decided to put 100% of my time mastering this concert promotion business..." Antonio Servidio As his career started to take off, he was indicted, arrested and convicted in federal court for a firearm sale that he had done a year prior. The next five years of Antonio Servidio's life was spent in federal prison, while inside he used what the prison offered (computer learning, business and finances courses) to better himself, get his game plan right, so when he hit the streets he would resume where he left off at, but once he had returned back to society, a few road bumps got in his way before he can get back to what he loved doing (promoting con- certs) and when the smoke cleared he was one of the biggest concert promoters in the United States. Did he make his money legal or was the answer the FEDS looked for when they placed Antonio Servidio on their radar. They couldn't understand how an ex-con was driving in Bentleys, Phantoms, lived in a five million dollar house and had everything in the world. If there such a thing as guilty by association then Antonio Servidio became guilty from his associations with Gangster Rappers, Real Mobsters, Hells Angels, D-Boys and Pimps in the eyes of the federal government. As interesting as Antonio Servidio's life story is his history as a firearms dealer, and concert promoter has been made in a biopic film titled "Tunnel Vision". The film stars hit bay area hip-hop artist "G-Easy", Keak Da Sneak, David Labrava of the hit FX series Sons of Anarchy, and Robert Miano. Since the movie has been released in Film Festivals Worldwide it has gen- erated a multitude of buzz, and awards in several categories. The movie will be released this winter in select theaters across the US and online.

October /November 2017 6 THE LIFE OF A LEGITIMATE HUSTLER

Sarah B. Downey, is a based female independent film writer and director of inter- national award winning independent films "The Undercard", "Platonic Solid", and "Red Velvet Cake", she has the entertainment industry focused on the upcoming Antonio Servidio inspired biopic "Tunnel Vision". The subject of the movie, Johnny Russo, played by G-Eazy (Top billboard 100 artist), is a young man incarcerated for 5 years in federal prison. The ATF, DEA and FBI have been on his tail for the last 15 years. Johnny Russo had friendships with Tupac and in the early 90's through firearm sales. After prison, Johnny rebuilt his life and became a real estate mogul before the financial crisis/mortgage meltdown ensued. Johnny's corrupt attorney then ran a fraudulent scheme on him and set him up on a complicated federal "money structuring case." The feds seized over 6 million in assets (Luxury cars, properties, homes and cash) from John- ny, and once again he has to come back when the chips are down. The film is based on the true events of Antonio Servidio (who is the, producer, executive pro- ducer and co-writer) who was one of the top concert promoter's in the United States. Many may ask who is Antonio Servidio, how can his lawyer bilk him for money, and set him up and send him to prison on a money structuring charge?

October/November 2017 9 THE MONEY STRUCTURING LAW

Structuring is the practice of conducting financial transactions in a specific pattern calculated to avoid the creation of certain records and reports required by the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and/ or 26 USC 60501(Form 8300). The definition of structuring for the purpose of evading the trans- actions in currency. The elements of the structuring regulations are: "A person structures a transaction if that person, acting alone, or in conjunction with, or on be- half of, other persons, conducts or attempts to conduct one or more transactions in currency in any amount, at one or more financial institutions, on one or more days, in any manner, for the purpose of evading the (CTR) filing requirement). In any manner includes, but is not limited to breaking down a single currency sum exceeding $10,000 into smaller amounts that may be con- ducted as a series of transactions at or less than $10,000. The transactions need not exceed the $10,000 CTR filing threshold at any one bank on any single day in order to constitute structur- ing." The definition is specifically written to include those transactions that occur beyond a single business day and transactions which are conducted through more than one financial institu- tion, but only if the purpose of the transaction is to evade reporting requirements. It is not the intent of the definition to expand the reporting requirements of a financial institution. The definition of structuring does not make reference to legal funds or to illicit funds. The law specifically prohibits conducting a currency transaction with a financial institution in a way to circumvent the currency transaction reporting requirements. Structuring a transaction in order to circumvent the reporting or record keeping requirements along with other facts known about the underlying pattern of activity by the customer, may war- rant the filing of a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) by the financial institution. The definition of structuring is not the same as, and is separate from, any requirement to report suspicious transactions. However, attempts to structure need to be reported as suspicious transactions on a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR). Purpose of these laws is to limit criminal business activity conducted in cash-money launder- ing, drugs, criminal enterprises however these laws can create potential problems for "law abid- ing" Americans. The IRS has seized assets (cash and bank accounts deposits) under suspicion of structuring. It then falls on the taxpayer to prove that the funds and deposits are legitimate. "In layman terms "Money Structuring is how you deposit or withdraw your own money that you earned legally and paid taxes on." The feds threatened Antonio to take a plea deal or face the risk of his mother and others who were close to him being pulled into an indictment. Fearing that his mother and others would get tied in to his situation, he plead guilty to serve 33 months in a federal prison and was forced to turn over 5.8 million in assets (that he legally earned from by promoting concerts and tour). Since his conviction Congress had realized the law was point- less and changed it to only be a civil fine, but it was changed after Antonio's plea bargain was signed which means he is FUCKED.

October/November 2017 10 Street Consequences Magazine had the opportunity to sit down with Antonio Servidio for a personal interview to speak about his history as a firearms dealer, his concert promoting business and the events that had led to his current situa- tion. Q: I would like to say thanks for allowing us at Street Consequences to conduct this interview. Your story is a real intriguing one that can be told many ways. So let's start with your childhood. How was your upbringing and where are you from? A: My upbringing was pretty good, I had a supportive family and large family in the Bay area. My parents split up when I was 14, so my brother Vinnie and I didn't have a lot of supervision which allowed us to get into trouble, breaking into houses, steal- ing guns and stealing dirt bikes, jet skis and boats, etc. Then when we see our dad it was usually on bad terms, so he was just punishing us, which made us both rebel even more. Q: What kind of man was your father? A: My father is hard working, determined, in his younger days he was kind of a play boy. He liked to gamble and take trips to Reno, , and Las Vegas and have multiple girlfriends, which eventually caused problems with his marriage. He's never been in trouble, and was very strict. He was in the military, so at times it was hard growing up with all his rules. Especially being a teenager in the Bay area with all the temptations.

Antonio Servidio

October/November 2017 11 Interview with Antonio Servidio

Q: Italians are very hard working people. How has your family values and work ethic serve you coming of age? A: It helped me in my life, my grandfather came here in a boat from Italy and was hard working, he started as a tailor for a lot of the mobsters and saved his money and began to buy properties and develop commercial properties, he was a great role model for me, both of my grandfathers were hard working immigrants from Italy and good role models for me, the discipline and work ethic was passed down to my father, who also made me work for anything I ever had. It taught me discipline at a young age, and has been very helpful to me all my life.

Q: You had plans to join the military, what prevented you from joining?

I wanted to be an Army ranger, but I had a felony (for burglary, stealing guns from hous- es when I was 15), the juvenile felony prevented me.

Q: What kind of music did you listen to coming of age?

A: In my early teens I mostly listened to Heavy metal and Reggae and some rap mainly. Metalli- ca, Guns & Roses, UB40, Bob Marley, Run DMC, , NWA. Then around age 14-15 I started listening to more Bay area Rap. This was in the early 90's when The Bay area rap scene was exploding and we had a lot of talent putting out hit songs like the , 3X's Crazy, Too Short, E40, Spice 1, Rappin 4-Tay, B-Legit, C-Bo, , , , JT the Bigga Figga and GLP, Mac Dre, , , RBL Posse, and more.

Q:: What was your first interaction with Bay area rappers?

A: I think my first interaction was when I was getting all the original tapes from Mike who was the owner of M&M Liquor store in South Vallejo, every time I would see him he was always giv- ing me a new tape of E40, B-Legit, , Mac Dre, Dru Down, C-Bo and they were all clas- sic hits. You could play all those old tapes and songs back to back hits still to this day there clas- sics. Then eventually I came into contact with many of the Bay area rappers thru selling weed and guns to them, and I just began to network with the people I already knew from the "game" to use in promoting concerts. .

October/November 2017 12 Interview with Antonio Servidio

Q: What kind of relationship did you have with Mac Dre?

A: Mac Dre was a friend of mine who was a Bay area rapper, I was producing concerts with him and selling him and his crew Guns, then eventually a some of his crew (Romper Room) told on me and set me up on my 1st gun case to sell to ATF agent. They told back in the 90's on their own crew for robbing banks, then told again in the recent "THIZZ ENT" drug bust. Stevie D PSD was rat back then, then took his crew down again 20 years later! I’m not gonna waste my interview to give credit to them snitches out there. I want to give shout out to some of the real ones still behind bars. (Ronnie Waggs, Young Jay, Lil Dre, Mac Russ, Deangelo and Dubbe, Pablo, Ali Almeda and Big Weto and Sporty locked in Mexico.

Q: How did you meet Tupac?

A: I was hanging out with an older crowd who were teaching me how to hustle, then eventually I met Pac thru some of my friends I was selling guns to and Pac and I became friends. He wanted me to come to his concert with some heat and I did.-

Q: What kind of reaction did Tupac have when you showed up at his concert with the guns?

A: We seemed happy and relieved that I showed up like I said I would. He always liked the "toys" I had, the bullet proof vests, the AR-15's, SKS choppers, 9mm Glocks, Desert Eagles, we went shooting a few times in the Napa hill and he loved that shit! I don't think he had beef with anyone then, but back then staying strapped was just a way of life, especially in the Bay area. Spice 1 made a hit song about it "rolling with my muthafuckin strap on side of me", we have that song in the Tunnel Vision movie in the opening scene when G-Eazy is getting out of an old school Cut- lass to make a gun deal.

Q: When did you know it was time to give up being a firearms dealer?

A: One day I was messing around with some choppers Russian SKS, putting automatic conver- sion kits on them and the gun fired (I didn't realize I had a bullet in the clip), the bullet went fly- ing thru the kitchen where my mother and little brother Vinnie was cooking pasta. The bullet could have killed my mom. After that she had it with me, and told me I had to move out and change my ways or I was gonna end up in prison. She had already found in the past random guns around the house, my ongoing "Casino" in the garage, finding explosives and pieces I was using to make a bomb. She loved me, but I was too much to handle at 18. I moved out and sold what- ever guns I had and made myself a promise that I would make my mother proud and take this music business serious. I saved up enough money to get an office and was doing 2-3 concerts a month. I built strong relationships with all the radio stations in my area, and set up over 80 inde- pendent music and independent liquor stores to carry my concert tickets in the Bay area.

October/November 20117 13 Interview with Antonio Servidio

Q: You were promoting all the big names in the Bay, when you first started were there any compe- tition?

A: I think, there was competition, but not as much as there is now. Concerts were much, much more rare back then in the early 90's. Rappers weren't really doing touring unless they were big names like NWA or RUN DMC. I first helped out promoting a reggae festival in N. Cali called "Reggae on the River". I met one of the head promoters from Bill Graham presents and he gave me 50 free tickets to promote the concert in all the cities I was selling weed in Vallejo, Napa, Richmond, Oakland, Fair- field, Vacaville, and Sacramento. I went to the concert and had a great time, then 6 month later Pac gave me the idea of producing these concerts on and making some long term legitimate mon- ey.

Q: Were you still in touch with Pac when he signed to ?

A: I was in touch with Pac occasionally, mainly when he was in the Bay area. He knew my dream was to meet Mike Tyson in person. I was a huge boxing fan and learned to box when I was in juvenile hall and always wanted to meet Tyson. I asked Pac if he could get me tickets to the fight in Las Vegas and he told me to come down he got me. This was my first time seeing him with Death Row, we were all at the Luxor hotel. It seemed like they were 200 deep. Most of them were wearing red or black, it was a different vibe (that LA gang banging lifestyle). Pac was cool as always, but didn't seem the same person. He was real busy and seemed stressed out, but he introduced me to Suge and a few others and gave me the 2 tickets and told me after the fight he's gonna bring me in Tyson's dressing room to meet him and talk about boxing, then Suge's club for an after party. They were all sitting ringside, my tickets were on the other side of the ring, then I heard they got into a big fight and couldn't believe it. I always carried my guns with me, but I didn't want to drive from the Bay with guns on me. It was just a crazy time, and I lost all the money I had on me gambling barely made it home. The trip to Vegas was a dis- aster all around, and when I finally met Tyson years later I told him about the story. He loved Pac and almost started crying just talking to me about that night.

Q: How did you take it when Pac was killed?

A:It was fucked up! cause he was the one who gave me the inspiration and idea to get out of the hus- tling game and put my mind and talents to good use in this music business, once I did it basically it took off for me . After he died I put together a big "increase the peace concert" at the Napa Fair ground with all the Bay area artists Richie Rich, Dru Down, B-Legit, mac Dre 11/5and many others. The idea was to stop all the violence in the rap game and bring unity between the EAST AND THE WEST. When we were in Vegas I was telling him I finally got my money up and wanted to plan a concert N. Cali, that was gonna be my first 2pac concert.

October /November 2017 14 BEHIND THE SCENES OF TUNNEL VISION MOVIE

Q: How was your hustling back when you first started was it profitable?

A: My hustling was good for the age, I was young 16-19, then went to federal prison at age 19. I was getting good money for a teenager selling weed, guns, hitting "licks" in Humboldt County then selling all the weed cheap in the Bay, running my casino" out of the garage of my mom’s house having nightly blackjack games, but all I cared about was riding dirt bikes, boxing, jet skis, playing semi-pro baseball, shooting guns and spending all the money living life doing fun things sneaking into night clubs and go- ing to the All Star Games, World Series, pro dirt bike races and traveling to cool lakes in N. Cali to ride the stolen jet skis and dirt bikes. Then I started promoting concerts in different cities and meeting peo- ple from all over and eventually got out of hustling, cause I didn't want to end up back in jail. The con- cert business was going to be my "new hustle" and just as I made that move to quit doing everything illegal and fully focus on producing concerts and tours, 9 months later I got caught up on an old gun case from a year prior selling a 9mm to an undercover ATF agent that my so called "friends" set me up on to get out of their time. I was held with no bail and everyone was snitching on me for selling guns. All the dirt I did was finally catching up to me and a lot of people got caught with my guns and started cooperating to set me up.

October/November 2017 15 Interview with Antonio Servidio

In life we all go thru ups and downs, its how you handle those chal- lenges to recover from losses, illness, past hurts or mistakes to build you into a better person. Thank to everyone who's been there for me and still around for me, and for the fakes, backstabbers, disloyal ones ... Haha what goes around comes around!” Antonio Servidio

October/November 2017 16 Q: While waiting time in the county to be sentenced how was your stay and where was you awaiting trial at?

A: I was waiting trial in Sacramento County jail, the worst HELL HOLE ever! The guards beat the shit out of you, I was a stuck on the 8th floor in the hole for almost 3 years, because the guards kept fucking with me, harassing my pretty girlfriend every time she would visit me, lock her in the eleva- tor, harass her for her phone number, then read all our "Private Legal" mail to our attorneys, filing grievances to get moved, they storm in our cells in Riot gear and beat us. Everyday was a real strug- gle mentally and physically. I was given the bible by Ted Kaczynski (that Unabomber), I was the only person he spoke to in that jail for the years he was up there. I started reading the bible and it helped, I realized I had to be strong and make it thru that crazy hell hole. Eventually a bunch of Sac- ramento Police got sued and indicted for abusing prisoners and staging inmate fights and killings.

Q: You said that you were there with Ted Kaczynski, what other high profile prisoners were there with you?

A: Spider and all the top bosses from the Nuestra familia (Nortenos) were there for a RICO charge, Barry "The Baron" Mills who was the head of the Aryan Brotherhood, Mac Dre and C-Bo were also there with me. I eventually got sentenced to serve five years and was designated to a federal prison in Southern called "FCI Taft"

Q: What type of rehabilitation did you receive while at FCI Taft ?

A: I took business classes and computer classes, (Microsoft word, PowerPoint, Excel). I got real good with the computer teacher, who taught me how to make a detailed business plan with ticket sales charts on Excel and nice PowerPoint presentation, and even mailed the discs home to my mom, because he knew how focused I was on my goals, sometimes spending 8 hours a day in the computer lab. (The discs weren't supposed to leave the classroom), but it made NO sense to me to do all this work for months, creating a nice business plan with charts, 10 page summary on the busi- ness and nice PowerPoint presentation and not be able to use it all. (So I gave him 1K to mail it to my mom), at the time I was still running my black jack games in the Feds so money wasn't a prob- lem.

October/November 2017 17 Interview with Antonio Servidio

Q: What kind of life did you live after your release from federal prison?

A: When I first got out, I had a hard time. They only gave me 21 days halfway house time and shipped me to Sacramento where one of the many dudes who were telling the feds I sold guns was there, and I jammed him up on it, next thing you know 20 minutes later the US Marshalls came to pick me up and took me right back where I started to Sac County!! It was terrible, like a nightmare starting all over. Eventually my lawyer got me out two weeks later, because they realized it was BOP's fault for sending me to a halfway house where some dude told on me and didn't do even pris- on time for robbing banks, (He was one of the many who told on his crew and me for selling guns). Then I got shipped to Fresno halfway house, got a job as a driver delivering beer to stores and my cellmate/roommate was fucking the C.O. in the halfway house. Every night she would come to our room (which was a motel 6 with barbed wire around it, next to a strip club called Gold Diggers).

Q: Damn, how better can it get?

A: Ha-ha, shit is hilarious just picturing it now. The C.O. would come fuck my roommate every night and tell me to leave the room for an hour to use the pay phones. One night they had an argu- ment and she came out of the room and hung up the phone on me when I was coordinating my 1st visit with my girlfriend with whom I haven't seen in over a year because FCI Taft was always having Riots, so we were on lockdown a lot. She told me she was writing me up for being out of my cell and it was gonna get my 1st visit cancelled.

Q: I know you were livid?

A: I went off on the bitch yelling at her and she grabbed the office phone and said she was calling the US marshals on me, then I lost it and said BITCH you ain't calling NO ONE! and ripped the office phone off the wall. She ran into the bathroom and I heard her calling 911 to call the police and I kicked in the door and she climbed out of the window. Shit was crazy the Fresno SWAT team came to get me in full swat gear, guns drawn and everything. I was taken to Fresno County jail and they hit me with an EXTORTION charge!! all over some bullshit with this little slut fucking my cellmate, kicking me out of the room every night at midnight, when I had to be up at 5am for work everyday.

October/November 2017 18 Bobby Panaro & Antonio Servidio

October/November 2017 19 Interview with Antonio Servidio

Q: What happened did any additional charges come up out of this?

A: They were talking about trying to charge me with kidnapping, assault and all kinds of bullshit, but luckily my dude "Shey" who was fucking her stepped up 3 months later (after he was out of the halfway house) to tell the truth how it went down. I still got an extortion charge and had to sit in the Fresno County jail hole for over a year fighting this bullshit. The worst part was this girls husband and dad both worked there as C.O.'s and kept fucking with me in the worst way, spitting in my food, trying to have little gang bangers test me and jump me. It was a nightmare all over again like Sac County jail on the 8th floor. Looking back at things now, I know both of those altercations could have been easily avoided. I guess as you get older you look at things much differently.

Q: What happened when you got out of Fresno County Jail?

A: When I finally got out of Fresno County Jail, I moved to Modesto California and lived very con- servatively working a normal job selling automotive equipment in the central valley. I remained humble and focused and lived in a shitty 1 bedroom studio off of J St for $325 a month, no tv, no furniture or nothing, but I had my freedom that's all that mattered. I started networking again with all the old Bay rappers I dealt with to set up concerts, do tour booking, road management and even- tually saved up some money to start doing some small concerts again. I opened up two booking agencies. My first concert was with E40 and the Click, Dru Down, Mac Mall, , , RBL Posse in Fresno, then set up a 4 city Juvenile/UTP with tour (When "Set it off" came out). I eventually opened up my own real estate company and started getting “real money”.

Q: When the Real Estate market crashed, how much did it affect your wealth status?

A: It completely crushed me, I was fully invested into real estate. I owned 52 million dollars in prop- erty, 40 million dollars in bank loans, so when the market suddenly crashed and all the properties I had was now worth 30 million, I suddenly lost the 12 million dollars of my own money plus was now in the hole another 10 million dollars to the banks, on properties that were upside down in val- ue. At the same time the US was going into a terrible recession/depression, people were losing their jobs and couldn't pay rents. I was on the terrible sub-prime mortgages with pay option loans that were re-setting, making the monthly payments increase. My debt load was over $252,000 a month. It was a very stressful time for me, especially at such a young age of 30 years old, playing with some high level finance. That's when all the real scammers started to show up, fake ass lawyers selling you on dreams to save your business and "Loan Modification" scammers who claim they can save all your properties and negotiate with banks. In the end it was "Smoke and Mirrors" these white collar crooks are worse than the dudes in the streets! My own attorney and the Loan Modification guy, both got caught up on some bullshit ass cases and then started talking to the Feds.

October/November 2017 21 Interview with Antonio Servidio

Q: How do you feel about being bilked for your investment by your attorney?

A: In some ways I feel dumb, I played the game smart for many years, I went thru a lot of hard times and finally got to a point when shit was going good in my life. I was able to help my family, employ my friends and help other ex-cons get on the right path in life, giv- ing them jobs in the music business, then the huge financial crisis of hit me hard and basically wiped me out! at one point I had a 4.6 million dollar 14,000 square foot mansion, that people called "Thug Mansion". I would always host big parties for the UFC fights, Super bowls, NBA Playoffs and my lawyer would always be around. He wasn't just a lawyer to me. He was my close friend and someone I trusted and looked up to as an ad- visor to help me grow my business. I'm still baffled by the whole situation, cause he hasn't even reached out to say thank you for protecting his ass and taking a 3 year sentence. Even after he cooperated on me and got all my assets taken.

Q: How has your time in prison been?

A: His time in prison for me has been good though, because it gave me a new outlook on life, I can't allow this bullshit he pulled or all the lying rats in my case to put me down in life and continue to anger me. I just got keep it moving forward, and be grateful for all of Gods blessings and realize that good will always prevail over evil. I had a lot of jealous people out to get me, trying to take my freedom from me and this whole situation could have ended much worst for me. The important thing is to learn from our mistakes and learn from adversity, which I have finally take the time to sit back and look at the past 25 years of my life and see where I went wrong and what things I did right, so I can become a better man when I'm home. While I been in me and my man Silk G from Houston wrote a screenplay called "Out on Bail"

October/November 2017 22 Interview with Antonio Servidio

Q: Speaking of movies, how did the idea of the movie Tunnel Vision come about?

A: The idea for the movie came about in a few ways. My lead video guy Marshel Day, always was tell- ing me on the tour "Tone" your life is crazy you need to make a movie or reality show!" and I would just laugh it off, but he was serious, to me it was just my normal everyday life! I was involved with brokering a deal to help with the financing of the movie "Black Mass" with Johnny Depp. A friend of mines was involved with Cross Creek Production (the producers) and invested some of the original de- velopment money, may years ago when the movie was just an idea, once they got Johnny Depp com- mitted they were in a rush to raise 17 million for the remaining budget and he contacted me about in- vesting, this was right after all my money was seized, so I didn't have anything to invest, but told him I can possibly raise the money thru my contacts. I raised the additional 17 million for them in 4 days, but they had a fall out with the investors so the deal didn't go through. One day I was in Vegas with one of the producers from Cross Creek who I was raising the money for and I got my full packet of Discovery on this case and he was blown away reading it all, because it literally sounded like a or American gangster movie. I asked him how movies like black Mass get made, and showed him all my discovery. He sat there reading it with me shaking his head, asking me if all this crazy shit is true or not, and said I got some very valuable content, now I just need to get with a team of writers and story boarders to develop the story. He gave me a few names of people in Hollywood, but I ended up meeting with Sarah B. Downey (the director and co-writer of the short film). Her vibe was good, she understood the story and was determined to bring it to the big screen so we worked on the project for two years, finally coming up with the original feature film script (which was later re-written by me and writers from Universal), and she helped me produce and direct the short, which is currently in Film Festivals now and has won several awards.

Q: Congratulations, how does it feel to have your movie making the Film Festival Circuit and win- ning the awards?

A: Winning the awards is cool, but I don't feel like its really sunk in yet, because I haven't been able to attend the Film Festivals myself yet. I was having some travel issues while on bail, my PO wouldn't let me travel at times and then I had to turn myself in here to prison once everything was really taking off. We set up a mini theatric tour doing movie screenings in Las Vegas, Hollywood, Oakland, Albuquer- que, Reno, SF, and Napa, it was cool we had a fun time and it was nonstop work. We ran the movie screenings around the same time as G-Eazy's tour dates and G-Eazy and his whole management team was very supportive always giving us tickets to all the shows, backstage passes and attending the movie screenings when he was available. The crazy thing to me is doing magazine and radio interviews with people asking me questions or people wanting to take my pictures when they saw me at the movie screenings.

October/November 2017 25 Interview with Antonio Servidio

Q: Does G-Eazy have a big following?

A: Yes, his following is huge, his fans love him and follow every part of his career including this movie (even though it’s not even released to the public yet). I was walking to the bathroom at the SF concert and heard someone yell that’s the real Johnny Russo! (My character name in the mov- ie), next thing you know I had 100 kids around me asking to sign their shirts, take pictures. It was funny, but cool and was thankful for the support. Everyone kept asking if I really had to go to prison for Money Orders!!

Q: What would you like to say was the highlight of the tour?

A: When I went back to my hometown of Napa, CA and seeing all the support from everyone from Napa, Vallejo, Santa Rosa, Fairfield the whole 707 came out! People I haven't seen in 20 years who heard about my story, coming up to me telling stories of my old concerts there with Mac Dre or me shooting guns with Pac or the Bay Rappers or my casino or me ripping up and down the street on my dirt bikes doing wheelies.

Q: What was the biggest turnout on the tour?

A: The Las Vegas screening and after party was the biggest turnout, we held 4 screenings at AMC theater and brought in over 4,000 people then Drais night club hosted the official after party and DJ Franzen and DJ Direct (Who's in the movie) had it cracking! Watch the official release party at Drais, Las Vegas on www.Youtube.com/TunnelVisionMovie.

Q: Do you believe the movie will educate and help people?

A: I originally did this movie to help people, I wanted to educate people about the "money struc- turing laws" so others don't fall into the same trap I did and lose money they worked hard for. In Vegas you got a lot of VIP hosts, club managers and bottle waitresses, who all work for cash tips, who are now being indicted on stupid IRS cases of Tax Evasion, Money Laundering, Money Structuring so after the movie we did a Q&A with the "club industry" professionals and it gave me the opportunity to spread my knowledge that I had to pay all these lawyers $253,000 on this case to learn on my case to help others.

Interview with Antonio Servidio

Q: What are your plans upon being released from prison?

A: I have a lot of plans once I'm released, but I'm gonna take 1 step at a time. The most stressful part of this was the 4 years on the bail battling it out with the feds, because I felt and still do feel I was wrongly indicted and targeted on this case. I wasn't committing crimes. I was following my pas- sion, promoting concerts and tours, giving x-cons jobs, helping our community and learned a hard lesson the first time going to prison, so to end up here again after I was actually doing the right thing this time and got scammed by my own lawyer and other "professionals" I paid in the real estate field to help me save my properties with loan modifications, and getting backstabbed by a lot of these ly- ing rats who were catching petty dope and gun cases throwing my name in the mix, helping feds to build some fabricated RICO case on me and my inner circle was stressful. I guess it’s a blessing all this came to light, to make me more aware of watching the people I associate myself with and watching the so called friends. I'm just going remain positive and grateful every day, because on this case I came across a lot of good dudes doing a lot of time and it’s sad to see our youth in prison. I want to find ways for my story to inspire people, motivate the youth to not give up on their dreams. I'm going to be working with the United Talent Agency on the feature film, as well as promoting concerts and tours again. I'm already planning my first big festival called the N. Cali 420 Festival! I'm got take it back to my home town of Napa/Vallejo and make it a yearly event with all the big- gest names in Reggae and Hip Hop. We got a big line-up for 2018 we plan to release in January. In some ways this whole situation makes me to want to move back to Mexico, get back into real estate developments in Mexico where I was living before, but I'm not gonna let the crooked RENO PD, Lying rats or Feds run me out of the country. I'm a get back to what I was doing with this movie so my story can be told to help others and create awareness and hopefully change some of the bullshit Civil Asset Forfeiture Laws. Until I’m gonna keep running the track doing burpless and pull-up’s bumpin 2Pac “when I get free.” I've been very fortunate this time to be able to take the RDAP pro- gram, which gave me 18 months off my sentence, but more importantly taught me how with to deal my anger management and resentment that I was holding against everyone. I want to thank the Dr. and the RDAP DTS staff at Florence Federal Prison who work hard helping inmates better them- selves each day and focus more on rehabilitation rather than incarceration and big shout out to all the inmates in Florence Colorado Prison ADX, USP, FCI Camp.

October/November 2017 32 Bio of Daniel Hubbard

I started event production in the Bay Area of California in 1999 and has earned the recognition as an innovative concert producer holding high production standards. He has helped organize and promote more than a thousand events, buying millions of dollars in talent and attracting millions in attendance. He has had the pleasure to work with a wide variety of celebrities including from Mac Dre to and everything in-between. Tony has always been great to work with over the years and the movie was no differ- ent. He's a hard worker and always has a strong direction with his projects. It was great to see the movie go from an idea over the phone into a short film starring one of the biggest musicians in the world

October/November 2017 33 Bio of Todd Anthony Shaw (Too Short)

Todd Anthony Shaw, better known by the stage name Too Short, is an American rapper, , and actor. He is best known for his hit songs like "The Ghetto" and "Blow the Whistle" and "Ain't Nothing Like Pimpin'". Too Short is credited as being one of the pio- neer rappers of . His rap lyrics Shaw was born and grew up in South Central Los Angeles, California. In the early 1980s, Shaw and his family moved to Oak- land, California. He was a drummer in the band at Fremont High School in Oakland. In the mid 1980s, Shaw produced custom songs (called "special requests") for people with his high school friend, Freddy B. In 1985, Too Short had his first release, Don't Stop Rappin' which, along with the following three releases, featured raw, simple drum beats from a LinnDrum drum machine. This was also one of the first hip hop records to use the word "bitch" - a word which became one of the rapper's trademarks and was the focus of subsequent raps such as Ain't Nothin' but a Word to Me." In the early 1990s his beats came from mostly a TR-808 and from mid-to-late 2000s, a TR-909 was used. In 1985, Too Short and Freddie B. formed the label Dangerous Music to regionally distribute his music and with others formed rap group The Dangerous Crew. Dangerous Music became Short Records, and then Up All Nite Records. With his 1989 release, Life Is...Too Short, he began using replayed established riffs (rather than samples) with his beats. Subsequent work was primarily collaborative, including work with Tupac Shakur, The B.I.G., Scarface, and . One of his notable collaborations during this period was on the track "The World Is Filled..." on the classic Notorious B.I.G. ; he comes in on the third verse after Diddy and Biggie. Being featured on the album introduced him to a wider audience as well, due to his typical style contrasting greatly with the Mafioso theme of the album. He also appeared on TWDY's hit single "Player's Holiday" from their 1999 debut album Derty Werk as well as the compilation Nuthin but a Gangsta Party. After these appearances, he began working on his eighth album, Can't Stay Away. The album included guest appearances by 8Ball & MJG, Jay-Z, , , E-40, , , , Scarface and B-Legit.Too Short relocated to in 1994, but he did not begin working with a more diverse variety of Southern artists until 2000, when he collaborated with Lil Jon. With the 1999 release of Can't Stay Away, Too Short fully came out of retirement and released a number of new within the next few years, most of them taking on a or Dirty South type sound, as he had become in- volved in the Southern rap scene. However, he didn't totally give up on his trademark funk grooves or sex- ually explicit style.

October/November 2017 34 Bio of Paul Duane Beauregard (DJ Paul) Paul Duane Beauregard, (born October 13, 1977) better known by his stage name DJ Paul, is an American rapper, record producer, DJ, and entrepreneur from Memphis, Tennessee. He is a founding member of hip-hop group and the half-brother of the late rapper Lord .DJ Paul is all business. His reputation (and livelihood) was built on the worldwide suc- cess of Three 6 Mafia, but today that facet of his output is just another investment, joining his myr- iad hustles: real estate (“for retirement”), merchandise (“for the fans”), and barbecue seasonings (“for his ”). Memphis will always be home, but today he lives in Los Angeles for the opportuni- ties. Maintaining the cultural and financial permanence that eluded many of his contemporaries, Paul rarely lifts a finger without considering longevity. e was the nucleus of the Mafia, assembling its co-founders through family ties (his half-brother , now deceased, who lives on through your favorite rapper’s triplet flows) and strate- gic alliance (, whose inclusion brought along all of North Memphis to match Paul’s South Memphis street cred). Today, his future planning has paid off. He has fans, and lots of them, that will continue hold him down for as long as he releases his brand of smoked out horror raps. In addition to stop-and-start Triple 6 reunions, Paul has been working steadily on establishing a solo discography. He dropped Master of Evil last year and will follow it with two more projects due out within the next 30 days: Year of the Six parts one and two. I caught up with Paul via a phone interview last December. Self-assured about his route to the top (with plaques and paper to prove it), he was unafraid to point out what he considers the missteps of modern rap. I got more time with him than I had any right to expect, and a bunch of BBQ secrets to boot. We talked about beef, serial killers, and real friends. —Corrigan Blanchfield

October/November 2017 35 Bio of Earl Stevens (E-40)

Earl Stevens known by his stage name E-40,He is a founding member of the rap group The Click, and the founder of Sick Wid It Records.

Initially an under- ground artist, his 1995 solo album In a Major Way opened him up to a wider audience.

He rose to even higher mainstream popularity in 2006 with his single "" which was produced by Lil Jon.E-40 made his rap de- but in 1986, with the EP Let's Side as a member of The Click.

Suga-T was then added to the group to form The Click. Synonymous with Bay Area rap, E-40 garnered a regional following, and eventually a national one, with his flamboyant raps, while his entrepreneurial spirit, embodied by his homegrown , Sick Wid' It Records, did much to cultivate a flourishing rap scene to the east of Bay, in communities such as Oakland and his native Vallejo. Along with Too Short, Spice 1, and , E-40 was among the first West Coast rappers to sign a major-label deal, penning a deal with in 1994, after years of releasing music independently. Thus, six additional so- lo albums were to follow, beginning with In a Major Way in 1995 as well as remastered versions of E-40's independent Sick Wid It recordings from previous years. In a Major Way was regionally well-received, with guest spots by such rappers as Tupac Shakur and Mac Mall, as well as his son Droop-E. Although having a large following within West Coast, E-40 did not have a large mainstream audience, so only two of his songs released under Jive Records, "1-Luv" featuring Levitti and "Things'll Never Change" featuring Bo-Roc, charted on the .[He had been working nearly exclusively with rappers from the Bay Area until 1997, when he released the double disc compilation Southwest Riders featuring exclusively rap acts from the Bay Area and the south.

October/November 2017 49 Bio of Kenisha Barrow (KB)

KB is an African American hip hop/singer, song writer, marketer, communications graduate, and CEO of WNY’s Music & Arts Movement. She has not only opened up opportunities for herself, but for music artists across the entire Western New York (Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Rochester). During her time working for Buffalo, NY’s Number one station for Hip Hop and R&B 93.7 WBLK, she has been granted the opportunity to meet various celebrities including music artist, most significantly DMX. DMX mentored KB in how to master her flow allowing her audience to become more connected into what she says lyrically. One of the most im- portant experiences for KB was meeting her favorite music artist as she didn’t want much from him, but for him to know he’ll see her again. She has performed in numerous events in Western New York, including her own. Coming out of the organization of WNY’s Music & Arts Movement, she has created a music group called “GAME 7 (go hard or go home) (February, 2017).” The music group consists of music artists and staff who are different in many ways but have one thing in , to show expression through music and art. Kenisha Barrow (KB) has been making music since the age of 7 and is aware of the talent she has to offer to society. Cockiness wouldn’t necessarily describe KB, but confidence would be a much better description. Her grandmother who she refers to as mom due to her raising her until she was adopted at age 12 wanted KB to focus on her education and less on music throughout High School and College. During her senior year in college majoring in Commu- nications prior to her graduation in May, 2016 she decided that she did what she had to do, and she can then do what she wanted to do. KB then released her first official song called “Money Moolah” featuring Buffalo, NY’S recording artist Torch (June, 2015). The song reached 1,000 views in a day. KB then admitted that it had been a long time since she’s been so excited because now she was able to focus on her passion in music. She then released a mixtape dedicated to the streets called “The Blow Up” only allowing 100 copies to be printed with a result of them being sold out the first week (February, 2016). The response she got from the public was outpouring and spoke volumes on her capability to connect with the au- dience and sale records. KB didn’t want the nation to hear her music until she was officially ready, so she only allowed her audience who were local to listen and react from her YouTube music videos without paying for views. This was a test for KB. As she receives messages and comments from listeners and viewers on a daily basis, KB knows exactly who and how to tar- get an audience. She now looks to finally release her first official mixtape “Ambitious” to the nation August, 2017 during the process of working with her music group GAME 7. The mix- tape will simply imply her hunger as an artist while she is on the road to greatness. She is now looking to go on tour with GAME 7 along with artists such as Don Scuzz, Torch, Prin- cess D. LA ‘Rue, Dutch Markell and more as she connects with the nation sharing her talent with society (June, 2017). In addition to continuing events with WNY’s Music & Arts Move- ment, she will expand her brand as an artist to reach different measures.

October/November 2017 55 Michael Curry NEWEST MEMBER OF THE STREET CONSEQENCES FAMI- LY!

Michael “Boston Mizz” Curry grew up in the an area called “Grove Hall” in Boston, Massachusetts. While growing up in Grove hall he had to fast acclimate and adapt to his surrounding as he became a member of the Castlegate gang. During his juvenile years he was arrested several times for drugs and violent crimes, but a turning point in his life in 1995 when he was arrested and charged in the state court for an attempt murder, that he ultimately pleas guilty to. While serving his state prison sentence he was indicted along with 31 others from his neighborhood and charged in a 72 count Federal indictment that was dubbed oper- ation “Baddest of the Bad”. With these charges “Boston Mizz” pleased out to an additional 10 years to be ran concurrent with his 5 to 7 year state prison sentence. In 2005 ‘Boston Mizz” was released from federal prison and shortly after e went back to hustling in the streets. In 2007 he was re-arrested in the state of Maine and sentence to serve 19 years in federal prison. His time away he took to rehabilitating himself with the past 10 years he had become proficient at business formation and establishment, credit repair, real estate and investing. Street Consequences had the opportunity to sit down with “Boston Mizz” for a person- al interview. SC: Boston Mizz, who and what inspired you to write? BM: My inspiration came from my gift as being a natural story teller. I knew with imagination, life experi- ence, and my torrid past that I can whip something up with master pieces. SC: How long you been Writing? BM: The first time I tried my hand was 2003 in a creative writing class while serving time at FCI Peters- burg. I didn’t take writing serious until 2008 while in FCI Otisville. SC: How would you describe your style of writing? BM: true, real, and unique. SC: What make your writing Unique? BM: My uniqueness comes from how I write my stories . I’m like JayZ and Biggie in this literary world in terms of not down. I go straight from the head and deliver my stories. I attempt to touch all corners when I write. SC: Speaking of corners, the city where you are from it’s rumored that there are over 100 street gangs. What corner are you from? BM: The area I’m from is Grove Hall. It’s actually on the border line where Roxbury and Dorchester meets. The block I hung at is Castlegate. I’m not going to speak to much about . (Castlegate) just Google it (lol).

October/November 2017 56 SC: What’s your plans in the business you are in? BM: my number one goal is becoming a success story. A story that others who came after me can use as blue print and make it happen. I’m currently in the midst of creating a digital media company where I will be able to help other do documentaries, realty shows television mini-series and put out there literary work in the form of audio, elec- tronic books (e-book) and in print. I believe that what I will offer will bring more diversification to the literary world. SC: How do you feel about the urban book game? BM: My Honest opinion? SC: Yes BM: I believe over the years the game was a little saturated and lot of great authors didn’t get the exposure and respect they deserved, but overall I like the direction it’s going in. There is a plethora of new talented writers who now have a way to express their talent and make money at the same time. SC: What are some of the titles we can look forward to under your digital media company? BM: The first book to come out will be the book “Asset protections” and then we are going to follow that up with “united States Vs. Sir Charles” which chronicles the life of the first and only pimp to be charge under the RICO LAW. SC: Where can we expect these books to hit the market? BM: The first book Minor Setback should be out winter 2017. SC: Where can you be reached? BM: You can reach me at my Facebook page [email protected] or you can email me at black- [email protected] and my Facebook [email protected] SC: Thanks for sitting with us , are there any shout out that you would like to give?

October/November 2017 57 Marcus Coats In His Own Words I met Floyd thru Mark from 310 Motoring Mark is the dude that sued Floyd for 15 mil- lion after Mark said that Floyd had him beat up, for the loss of 4 million in jewelry. Later Floyd found out that Mark didn’t have any- thing to do with his stuff coming up missing it was a stripper that he got from a strip club that robbed him of his shit. Floyd and I have been friends for years, I knew his kids and his whole family, and I would be there holidays at the big boy crib in Vegas. We would fly all across the world spending big money shop- ping and hitting clubs partying fucking all the hot bitches. I was a boxing manager when I met Floyd, I was managing Kendall Holt and Malik Scott but I was still in the streets get- ting the bag. So when Floyd did a back ground check on me and found out that I was getting money in them streets, he wanted me around him. Everywhere he went he wanted me there he would hit me up to come roll with him. We was cool I was from the West side of Detroit and he was from Grand Rapid so we knew a lot of the same people we had a lot of shit in common, Boxing getting money, fucking with the hottest hoes out there. But the one thing he liked about me was that I was a real nigga... the real deal so he loves that for some reason he was in love with the street life. Even though he wasn't really from the streets. He wanted to be a street dude with real street credit. Like my mentor J Price!! No matter how much money Floyd have it could never buy the street credit he was looking for. So he wanted to have them kind of dudes around him all the time. He always wanted to be what I was so Floyd and I and RIP Earl Hayes are hanging out every day going everywhere with Floyd. Floyd was very good to his boys for the most part. He would give those gifts and shit as if they was a little bitch or something.

But he never had to do that with me because I had my own money I was getting money too, so I didn’t need him to give me a hand out or feel sorry for me that what he liked about a nigga. I was holding my own and taking care of me and my crew. He had a lot of dudes around him that need- ed his money that he would treat like his little bitch @Harlemhotgirl or @Harlemhotboy some- thing like that. Floyd and I was courtside at all the games NYC, LA, New Orleans you name it and we was there. We both had a condo in the Ritz Carlton in DTLA we would place bets together and gamble on sports. So I thought he had real love for me, we rolling together every day. I knew the combo to the man safe, I was a real money team nigga that had his own money though. I was fuck- ing the same bitches he was fucking. I did not have the money Floyd had I had a RR and a Ferrari and real street nigga swag I had the jewelry the clothes I had it all. Anyone who really know me knew that I have been getting money since the BMF days, I was a young cat running up the check.

October/November 2017 58 Marcus Coates In His Own Words

So now that I am living in HOLLYWOOD I was into the boxing game. I even bought Floyd his 130 champ Devonta from East Baltimore, I am the one that found him and got him on the money team. Yes I invited Devonta and his trainer to meet Floyd at the Four Seasons Hotel in Philly, to talk about me signing him as my fighter and bringing him to the money team. Devonta and his trainer drove from Baltimore that day to come to meet Floyd. Floyd didn’t know who Tank was until I bought him to the team. Then I invited him to the club later that night to come party with the money team, I’m in the federal prison , next thing I know Devonta is signed with Mayweather promotions. I am not here to tell Floyd's personal business, I am just hear to say don’t call yourself a real nigga when you really out here cat fishing! Real niggas do not turn away from you when you catch a case. That a disloyal nigga! The feds hit my spots in the Detroit and in LA... they had a money laundering case on me for 2 million dollars, I already knew what he is going to say!! That I was hot and he heard I was talking he never fucked with me like that, all BS my case is online for anyone to see...Marcus Coates Detroit drugs!! The info on the case will pop up I took the case like a real nigga and NEVER say anyone`s name when I got caught! I saw his GF @harlemhotgirl at the bowling alley in studio city CA. I showed him all of my paper work! My PSI everything he saw that I was a stand up dude and took the case on the chin like a real champ. So I have been in the box almost two years and I haven’t got a letter from him or one red cent from that nigga Floyd. You just don’t do niggas like that when you ate with them and broke bread with them that is not how a real nigga move. I am also writing a book while I am in here 2019 I will be back court side at the Laker games have a lot to get off my chest from all the shit I have been thru LOVE AND HIP HOP HOL- LYWOOD GET AT ME MONA SCOTT we can get some money together I am the real deal. Well to all my guys behind the walls standing up at that 4 o`clock count keep your head up! Our time is coming they cannot keep us REAL ones down! I am walking the yard with them killer’s dudes that got 20 and 30 years! Money can buy a lot of shit but one thing money cannot buy is respect. There is a lot of peo- ple out there embracing the fake just because a person got money do not make him a real one! Shut out the real woman out there keeping it tight! Staying down for they king until he is back on the streets!! Stacy is one of a kind Thank you for being there for me and holding it down! I am with you now and forever.

Its been on ever since and He hasn't looked back. Even though troubled times seemed like they were hard to shake with a few legal stumbles here and there, nothing can stop what this guy has planned to elevate his music career. Mac Fair is on a mission to build the Mac Family Entertainment brick by brick to become one of the most recognized and suc- cessful independent labels while showing he is a heavily gifted artist as well as his team.
