gang

s or drilling and for many people the most famous shooter in Toronto is that idiot who gave Megan the stud, he alleges, but make no mistake, people, the streets of Canada. They are cold the blocks are hot and anyone can understand it It's funny in many ways the drilling scene in Canada is very similar to the drilling scene in the United Kingdom, but the reality is that Canada is much closer to the United States both geographically as in the ability of locals to access high powered firearms, but before we get to firepower, let me first give you a quick geography lesson, first you have the United States or more specifically the Americas , you know them all and then above you have North America and then to the north of the United States of America in North America is Canada and in Canada there are 13 provinces, one of them is called Ontario and the capital city of that province is Toronto and the broader surrounding area is known as the Greater Toronto Area. or gta, sure, I'll tell you what are some of the stories we're going to talk about today that also seem straight out of gta.

I mean, crack-smoking former Toronto mayor Rob Ford looks like something straight out of Los Santos anyway. The city of Toronto is divided into six administrative districts, Etobicoke, Scarborough, Old Toronto, East York, York and North York, which is where most of today's story will take place, but of course, like any story I cover a long and illustrious street dispute, there are always two sides. history and two sides of the city and when it comes to Toronto's underworld, the city is further divided into two distinctive halves with a series of internet maps that have circulated for years showing the division between the

gang

s above and below Of Toronto, meanwhile, there are even more complicated and interactive gang maps circulating online that can give you a much more detailed and nuanced breakdown of the smaller gang sets roaming swaths of grass in Toronto's underworld, so today I'm going to break it all down to tell you how to get there.

I'll tell you the story of some of Toronto's most famous rappers to come out of these areas, from Presser to the top five, from Smoke Dog to Houdini, and I'll tell you about the many shocking

murder

s some of these rappers witnessed on the streets during his arrival. above and I will tell you the tragic stories of some of the people who did not make it out. There are a lot of sad stories behind this, but the reality is that the Toronto rap scene is booming.

I have been your young vpn guy. guy thanks to atlas vpn for the sponsorship enjoy the video in peace so first of all we have the rappers and clappers coming from the north side aka upstairs probably one of the most famous neighborhoods in hip culture Toronto's drill is Jane and Finch, named after nearby Jane. Street and Finch Avenue, and there is also driftwood near Driftwood Avenue and the Driftwood Corps, now in North Jane and Finch and surrounding areas, have had a notoriously bad reputation in Toronto and numerous articles have been written in the local media about how dangerous they are.

Regularly listed as having the highest shooting rate across all police divisions in the city, of course, part of the blame for the many local shootings lies with street gangs like the Driftwood Crips who have been extensively targeted by Toronto police. . a massive raid on the driftwood crips in 2017 called project chronic where over 100 arrests and over 600 charges were handed out around 2017. It was even said in court documents that the driftwood crips were here supplying large amounts of fentanyl and cocaine to a network. from dealers that even included hells angels biker gangs, these driftwood men are here in some lost and damned, but it ain't all about blood and cripples in North Jane and driftwood, a lot of rappers coming from this area with links to streets are now identified as 3l.

I'm pretty sure 3l means three letters and those three letters are sos, which means shoot on the spot, so yeah, you don't want these guys to see you, but of course, other than the shooters, what we really want is Interesting is Musicians and one of the first rappers from this area to put on the hood and pioneer original music in the area was Robin Banks. He was pushing a Chicago Drill-inspired Toronto rap sound as early as 2014 after releasing the standout song, Don't try me. It came with a music video that extensively featured local kingpins Jane, Finch and Driftwood, but it wasn't just on the microphone where Robinbanks was making moves because he also founded the record label Up Top Movement in an attempt to provide infrastructure and a system for that his friends from the same area would also release music now, Robin Banks would release several iconic songs on the Toronto drill scene, such as molly club tt's next up marley's and eventually the up top movement would even leave its north. jane's mixtape introducing the world to a bunch of top-tier affiliated rappers who since 2015 have been trying to bring a certain type of Chicago energy to their own neighborhoods in Toronto and, in my opinion, a lot of the music coming out of the city.

It's an absolute fire, many of these guys have released trap songs with heavy beats rapping about all the shit going on in their local area and telling the world for the first time the realities of life growing up in the most dangerous area of ​​Toronto, but of course. Naturally, that means a lot of belittling and smoke in operations. Some of the other big names to come out of that Northside Jane and Up Top movement include one of the most talented and famous names associated with Toronto Drill Houdini. In fact, he was clearly destined. for greatness in the drill world early after going viral as a teenager for posting a photo of him putting in Chief Keith's handwriting on his literacy test, which Chief Keith himself even retweeted, thus starting Houdini's career. collaborating on track four five six together with his teammates.

Local rapper gangs also on that track were the brother brother duo, the tall twins of Double Problem 4400 and 4400, who also come off the top. You have rappers like yg35 ands gd fb. You have another brother, brother, rap duo. 21 clean and 22 clean or 22 dirty with those two rapping together under the name neat gang but of course probably the most famous name to come out of jane and finch is the babyface badass presser, he's one of the few and probably the biggest rapper completely escape the streets of Toronto and become popular in music and move to Los Angeles to focus on his career and get away from the violence.

Now pressure has a crazy family history and he has been a real g since a young age. His father, Mark Gardner, was a bank robber who committed murder in 1996, apparently calmly gunning down a bouncer outside a community dance because he had made him wait too long to appear in the press. The father's father was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for murder with a brief attempt on his release from prison thwarted in 2010 when he was accused of continuing to run a gang behind the wall. In fact, he even managed to obtain a brief period of bail which, ironically, took place while Presser himself was in jail.

Yes, he's still locked up. He came out. parole for I don't know, I don't remember, probably a little less than a year or maybe and then they raped him to get his parole, so he's still there now, in fact, when he got out of jail, I went into jail, he came out and he was like answering my calls now you know anyway Press's father was aptly nicknamed Prestige and that's where Press's rap name comes from Prestige Presser Prestige Presser now Presser himself had his first big debut in the rap game on the posse cut of 2015 was Gang the Track. itself featured presser Robin Banks GD and Facebook and was a tribute to his fallen friend Wassie, so you'll sometimes hear the G's from these areas referring to themselves as a crazy gang now similar to Robin Banks Presser and his brother in reality would continue. to start his own record label, blue feather records, and once his career gained momentum, Steam Presser went on to have one of the most illustrious careers of a non-singing rapper to ever leave his hometown, but we'll get to the impressive career of the press in the music industry later but for now let's look at some more demons because about a 20 minute drive from jane and finch there is another notorious

toronto

neighborhood called lawrence heights or jungle and this is the home to go gang hunting , aka the gggs, aka the gigi, this is a feared group of

toronto

hitters led by the self proclaimed demon of toronto's top five and their story is insane.

He now gained a lot of momentum in 2014, 1560, when he was only 16 years old when he took off his own style jersey. dropped the track hall of fame with Robin Banks, followed by the closed tracks on any block, you know, his thing was that he took off his shirt all the time he was shot, shorty and, finally, these six anthems of the hood managed to attract the public. attention of the draco of the six gods himself, who would give recognition to the top five shirtless on his ig on numerous occasions and would even shout out the top five in hit songs like his collaboration with the future Grammy with that recognition giving recognition to the top five. moment of supercharged influence that he reacted to with pure delight, Drake would go on to release the short film Jungle supposedly inspired by the Top Five's hoodie and the Top Five himself would end up spending time personally rubbing shoulders with Drake himself, but don't let that sweet shirtless guy.

Dumb boy, the top five is not to be trifled with, in fact he would later go on to claim that the whole dating Drake thing was because he was Drake's shooter, if someone who doesn't like Drake comes to town they we are drinking. Deal with it you know what I mean yeah I'm a shooter basically yeah so now you're out on the streets look that's all fun and games but the truth is the top five have been related to some serious crimes, but we'll get into them all. of that moreforward as the story progresses but back to gg's lineup, the top five also had a brother named Foolful as well as a friend named Flipper and the top five actually collaborated on their 2019 song, Drill Some More.

You also have the right hand man of the top five, 100, who I personally love a lot simply because he's one of the few Toronto rappers who really encompasses the UK drill beats and just a little advice for any Toronto men who just is trying. blow up real quick, that's what we trying to hear, man, jump on those smoke pop beats, you're gonna pop, check out 100 pop up tracks, you'll see what I mean, actually, while we're on the subject. I also can't forget the UK's best road shooter from gg. I'm mad as my heart is right now.

I've finished now. We are here. Wait, come on, no, but I actually know there are other Toronto rappers coming out of these areas. I could talk about that, but I don't have all day and these are the wrappers and the areas that will be relevant to the stories we're going to talk about today, so before we get into the dangerous fights that these guys have had. On the streets of Toronto, of course, we have to take a closer look at the opposing cruiser on the other side of the city, so as opposed to the teams we just mentioned, there are other neighborhoods in Toronto that have problems.

With the rappers above, I've seen some of these groups described as below, but actually Toronto gang politics is a little complicated and there are a handful of all the little splinter groups that have their own beats, so I'm going To make this as simple as possible, but one of the most important areas on this side of the city involved in the Toronto Street problems is Regent Park, which is also described as one of the most dangerous areas in Toronto and one of the The region's most famous rapper is, of course, Smoke Dog, far from the streets.

He got his first crack at the rap game around 2014-15 and one of the first songs he released was the track still alias rabba, he dropped that track along with his friend moji and both guys were members of a group called halal gang, an ensemble of Toronto Islamic street rappers that Toronto police classify as having their origins in Regent Park street gangs now along with peers like Puffy Elves Safe and Mustafa, the poet the halal gang had actually created for their neighborhood and made a lot to boost the Toronto drill sound. Smoke Dog's 2018 track trap house was a huge hit for him, putting him on the world map now.

In addition to Regent Park, Rexdale is another area that has been a rival to Jane and Driftwood for quite some time, as it is just over a 10-minute drive from Jane and Finch. rexdale is another area with a feared reputation, the rexdale crypts have a long history dating back to in fact decades of mind soul 6 on youtube they have a great video breaking it down. Check it out if you're interested, but here today the Rexdale area has spawned a number of notable rappers in Toronto, this includes Nav Who is. There aren't really people like that on the streets, but also people like Young Lava and his brother Young Dubs Ilium Payback and from the previous generation of Rexdale G who have people like Sizzlak aka LV, who was from Jamestown Rexdale and represented a team called ids . zizlak had the realistic song in the sixth and apparently his ops and jane and finch hated him and were straight up idsk and another big name from this area who you will definitely hear referenced in many of the opposition songs is slugger, clearly the problem between these rexdale mans and the teams that came out of jane and finch were incredibly heated and the lack of respect for the people who lost their lives as part of this feud continues in music to this day, now another group that is relevant to this story it's the full staff 234 that I have a long-standing problem with Lawrence Heights, aka Jungle, dating the full staff.

You have rappers like Nine who also rap over UK beats, sometimes their track is too high as a straight hit along with some other names that aren't really relevant to this. The story and another name you'll hear mentioned about Falstaff later is Clutch and finally you have connections on the south side of Jane and Finch, near Turf Grassway, home of rapper Duvey, who makes fire music the way he brings. kind of young nba guy, little baby vibe in toronto, he's good so he along with nhs jj are from south jane and will get into the fight towards the end of this story.

Look, I know that's a lot of people. It really could go on forever. There are a lot of parts of the city and parts of history and other rappers that I could talk about, but we have to draw the line somewhere and these are the people we're going to talk about today. so now that you know who's involved, it's time to jump in and out between these teams, taking a look at the music that has come out of these areas, how the Toronto rat scene evolved into what it is today and, unfortunately, the enormous amount of bloodshed that occurred. that will take place to make the scene what it is in 2021 now, as I said at the beginning of this video, gangs are nothing new in Toronto and the city's police have spent decades trying to crack down and arrest the clappers and trappers who run these parts of the city there was the 2005 xxx project, these were arrests against top Rexdale gang leaders with the goal of breaking up the so-called Jamestown team, then you have the 2007 cryptic project, a big arrest in the Rexdale crips driftwood, but it was a 2011 raid called Project Marvel targeting a street gang based on Jane and Finch where our story begins, handguns, automatic rifles and over a hundred thousand dollars in cash seized during yesterday's cross-country crackdown, Yes, in a series of nationwide raids that took about 60 gangsters off the streets of Canada, Project Wonder was the authority's attempt to disrupt the organized crime gangs that controlled Toronto's toughest neighborhood.

The indictment claimed that Jane and the Finch Gang, Buck's young killers, were trafficking drugs, guns and cash throughout the city, running the streets so ruthlessly. that eventually the police had to intervene about 10 people named in the indictment were young criminals and this includes a 15 year old yg and a teenage presser, but they were not the teenagers that the police were really looking for to arrest the feds. trying to throw the book at the top brass of the ybk with the police's real prize being Press's older brother, Kimar Gardner, who would later begin rapping under the name Bundok.

Court documents allege that Bundog was the leader of the young dollar killers, calling them a violent gang. and crack trafficking operation, as things were not looking good for Bundog, the court documents even referenced a photo he had taken of himself posing with a stack of hundred dollar bills that spelled out the gang's initials ybk , along with a bunch of other evidence. It would make this case incredibly difficult to fight because when Presto's family home was raided, police found numerous weapons that were linked to shootings and tried to link them to pressure and bundock. In fact, when Bundong went to trial, he even apologized to the judge saying that he wanted to set a better example for his younger brother, the journalist.

Unfortunately, remorse didn't really do him any favors and in the end the judge slapped him with a whopping 10 year sentence for around 14 drug, gun and gang related charges around 2015. Interestingly, during the case we found out that the informants allegedly The police had been told that the teenage presser was actually next in line to lead the gang after his older brother, but interestingly, the presser wasn't even present when all this happened because he. He was already locked up for selling drugs in his mother's house when he was only 15 years old, yes, my brother was convicted of organized crime, the Marvel ybk project was violated in 2011, at the end of 2011.

He was currently imprisoned as if he were going to sell and break up my mom's house and stuff and I could talk about it because I got convicted for it, you know, the pressure ended up doing 14 months for this in a young offenders institute, while his brother gets stuck and his name is mentioned in the Marvel project. Presser was eventually released from jail and later had to go on the run for attempted murder. They caught him serving time and then beating that charge. You were on the run from attempted murder. Yes, they finally caught you. Yes, they caught me.

They caught me halfway. On the other side of the country I ended up in prison for about nine months. I beat the case, so basically the press has spent many years ducking and diving in the mean streets of Toronto while people around them on both sides of the city's complicated gang. The beefs are dying in the streets like it was nothing. Presta would lose one of his closest friends on July 25, 2015, when his friend Wassie, real name Kawasaki Skin Peters, was on the run for a double murder that occurred less than a month earlier while he was on the run.

Because of these charges, Wassie was eventually captured one night by police, who found him sitting in a car outside a Toronto nightclub. They took his guns and sadly, Wassie was killed by police in a shootout in downtown Toronto. There around the corner is a vehicle with about seven or eight or maybe more bullet holes depending on the siu, it all happened after 2 am and that's when the police officers approached a vehicle in Peter Street and an altercation began. Now somewhere during that altercation, a 21-year-old man was shot. Toronto's Peters, a 21-year-old quasi-skier, was shot by police overnight in the entertainment district.

He is wanted on two counts of first-degree murder in the double shooting at a building on Lisgar Street, now Abdullahi Abdullah and Muhammad Abdul-Diri, both 26 years old. years were shot to death in a unit on the 22nd floor of a building on Lisgar Avenue on June 28. Another suspect turned himself in to police days after the incident. Of course, the loss of Wassey was devastating for young people leaving the area. top of the high. up twins honored his memory with a set of chains with wassie's face on them and the journalist would later discuss how difficult it was to lose wassie in a touching interview with vlad tv.

The loss of Wassie was really the catalyst for the press's rap career and as a tribute to the fallen him. Brother Presser along with Robin Banks, GD and Facebook would make the tribute song Gang, however, as rappers on each side of this street fight begin to make their first significant moves in the music industry, the street fight continues because just a week after wassi's murder on august 4, 2015 a gunman opens fire at the music nightclub where drake was hosting an after party for his ovo festival and this shooting leaves two people dead at the scene were almost 3:30 in the morning also flying gunshots that rang out causing thousands to flee at two crime scenes a man and a woman were dead three others wounded the man dead in the indoor club right next to the pool literally our officers were running towards the live shots the police were right in the center of the situation the deceased victims were named duvel hibbert and aurelia navarro fennoy, a man and a woman, and the police came out to say after the incident that they knew the male victim from having been convicted of gun crimes in the past and finally the internet detectives on reddit.

Torontotology, which is basically the Canadian version of shyracology, identified that male victim, Duval Hibbert, as the Rexdale slugger. Now Toronto was clearly not well liked by some of the top rappers like Presser. In fact, he would disrespect the slugger in one of his most important songs. to date, he says in the attachments that Slugger was hit at the party and did a dance, as well as saying in his song Secondhand Smoke that he passes the joint to the guy who hit Slugger, plus other top rappers like YG They posted on Instagram saying that they were smoking slugger pack Meanwhile, after that shocking incident at the music nightclub, Drake himself would send his condolences to slugger and the city saying that he is plagued and hurt by the violence that continues to increase in his city and saying that he wants to encourage the new generation to show all the courage and gratitude he can for the life he has been given by sending his condolences to both the deceased and all the families who have lost their loved ones due to senseless violence which continues in Toronto.

Drake is right. The senseless violence occurring on the streets of Toronto is a true tragedy, but fortunately as the local music scene developed, people on both sides of the war and the streets of Toronto began to see aroot of the fight through music for the first time. It was also the same month of July 2015 that Smoke Dog would release his song Trap House, which gave it some widespread attention and the song eventually got a French Montana remix that debuted on Drake's Ovo Sound radio. Drake began showing the love for Smoke Dog publicly by allowing him to open for him on tours abroad, including the UK where he met grime legend Skepta with the two of them recording a fire collaboration overseas, meanwhile local rappers At the top they were also beginning to see their music take off, Robin Banks released her first breakthrough song.

Next, in addition to solo hits, Marley's offering, Molly and his collaboration with the top five Hall of Famers, are also gaining a lot of momentum and following the release of Wassey Gang Presser, he also continues to release music such as song Black Mask with Big Bills and GD and eventually left the soloists like demi hana and to be honest but unfortunately for the journalist, in April 2016, the war in Toronto would reach a new dark level and the journalist would end up catching a case serious and receiving charges that would follow him for about a year and a half just as he was starting to make waves in the music industry, but this wasn't just a normal shooting or beating that you would expect a rapper to get caught in because the details of this crime were incredibly shocking. and seriously, it's by far one of the most twisted things I've ever covered on this channel.

The streets of Toronto hit a new low in April 2016. When members of the Toronto Young Killers were allegedly hosting a party at a rented apartment at some point. Members of a rival Queens Drive gang attempted to crash the event, leading to an armed standoff in a hallway where eight to 10 shots were fired. The shots were allegedly heard after YBK members boarded the apartment in an elevator and emerged from the 25th floor to confront the invalids who had interrupted their party and immediately opened fire when the elevator doors opened in a scene that was caught on CCTV and looked straight out of an old west.

Now in this clip we see a shooting in the hallway followed by a The alleged YBK member being shot, you can barely make him out in the footage but essentially a bullet grazes his head and after dodging the bullet he falls to the ground sliding to Take cover behind the closing elevator door. That bullet in the elevator seemed a hair's breadth from being fatal and as a result the ybk members who had been shot would return with a serious response supposedly the ybk members met again at a house in Swansea Muse where they decided they would attack two people who had supposedly told the Crips that their group was happening and the next day YBK members were said to have summoned two 17 year old Crips to a property.

Now I'm not sure what they thought they were going there for, but when they arrived, they were held captive. For approximately 48 hours, during which they were subjected to cruel and unusual torture the likes of which I have never seen before in any type of gang drill or story in the developed world. According to police, the two 17-year-olds were tied to a chair. and beaten during the beating, they were forced to play Russian roulette with a loaded gun and a shot was fired on the premises and what was happening on that property was so bad that the police received multiple reports of suspicious activity and even visited the property as a result of this extra attention, the victims were kidnapped and taken to various locations in the city to escape the police while the abuse continued and at this point things apparently escalated further and it was reported that the two abductees were forced to do things of a sexual nature with each other and that is not all, apparently these acts were filmed and then the kidnappers contacted the victim's family negotiating a ransom for his release and the details of this ransom apparently were three thousand dollars for the release of the two kidnapped people. and a final payment of seven thousand dollars within a week all the videos would be published.

I had never heard anything so messed up in my life in one of these stories, so apparently the ransom demands were met and the victims were freed and eventually ended up in hospital, at which point one of the victims apparently made a statement to the police, which was then immediately withdrawn, but there was apparently enough forensic evidence for the police to go ahead and build a case against the kidnappers without even having cooperating victims and the police continuing to formally identify several potential kidnappers, even going so far as to identify the mother , sister and grandmother of one of the suspects also as persons of interest because it was alleged that one of the places the victims were taken to was a family. house where everyone was while this was happening, so a few days after this agreement, everything takes place on April 23rd.

North Jane rapper Presser, whose real name is Quentin Gardner, is arrested on charges of kidnapping for ransom, unauthorized possession of a firearm and assault with a weapon and when he arrived at jail, Presser would quickly end up feuding with some rivals there too, however, there would be some hope waiting for the young press on the other side of the wall because, while he was described as the main instigator of the violence, Press's lawyer maintained that he had only played a minor role in the incident and that Presser was not identified as the ringleader of the attack as apparently the most severe punishment in this incident was doled out to a 17-year-old named Tai Shea Pistol Gordon and a 23-year-old named Lincoln Anthony Richards with police officers saying that both They were last seen in the Lawrence Heights jungle.

Now, miraculously, despite these serious charges, Presser was able to post bail, during which time he would be free for a whopping 18 months and thankfully. Presser actually used this time wisely, concentrating intensely on his music career rather than on the streets, finally giving himself the opportunity to escape the violence that had plagued him and his family for years. Press's 2016 song, Demi Hana, was still gaining momentum when he discovered her case now. That track was actually inspired by Chicago Drill songs about smoking your dead ops and naturally it was gaining a bit of traction in the States. The presser also released the song, to be honest, in February 2016 and when he came out on bail for those. kidnapping charges, he continued to release tracks like 100 wassie bars john connor and lavished on these tracks which led to his 2017 mixtape press machine, then his January 2017 hit, novocaine along with murders, was a hit that quickly caught the attention of both the weekend as Meek Mill and apparently Meek Mill even tried to sign Presser for a measly $20,000.

I tried to sign Presser for like 20,000 and I was going to give him a 10 month lease like he was a Rolls Royce, yeah it's a Rolls Royce anyway, just like him. continues to gain steam in February 2017, Drake is seen wrapping Novocain in the presses on social media while in the UK. Now the press went to London to network in the music business, where he ended up connecting with Drake himself, who was there on a European leg of his tour, Prestor even posted a photo with Drake along with a caption that said that He had spent $50,000 on a lawyer.

This chance meeting with Drake eventually turned into a full-fledged opportunity to pressure Drake to open up on tour. with presser opening for drake in birmingham, that was his first show, but the craziest thing of all was the fact that the body even gave presser permission to join drake on tour throughout europe while he was on bail for these serious charges of kidnapping, but they let him go and this was actually a genuine opportunity for the president to go and do something productive and stay out of trouble and I guess the courts could see that for once, so Presser joined Drake in the tour together with Smoke Dog from the opposite neighborhood who led many believed that during this time Presser and Smokey had become friends with them, even collaborating during this period.

What's not that everyone was excited about the pressure to join Drake on tour, I mean he was still out on bail for kidnapping, torture, a lot of articles will be about this. time asking what drake was doing to bring a serious accused criminal on his tour the rapper tours with drake on a european tour while he was on the bill for serious charges and apparently toronto police were never informed of the relaxed bail conditions of the press and the local police were positively beaten the air saw the pressure running all over Europe having a good time with the police supposedly even contacting places in an attempt to shut down the Presta show from another continent and we even witnessed the presser being He found out firsthand about the cancellation of his shows on Ruidoso's excellent Six Rising.

The documentary about the Toronto drills, kidnapping and torture is too far away. Sorry for the late notice. The place just raised the issue. I'm sorry again. This was a great documentary that covered many aspects of the exciting rise of pressure and I think it's really important. just point out how focused he was at the time, he clearly wants to improve his life through music and get as far away from the streets as possible, but I'm really here, I'm the next one to do it in the industry. Do you know what I'm doing being a gang member?

What does that give me? You know, I mean running around the driftwood court. What am I doing there? Do you know that I have better things and better plans for my future? He really stayed focused by using his time in the UK wisely to collaborate with Peckham rap legend Giggs on the song Sexy, which came out just a month after Giggs had appeared twice on Drake's More Life album, so you know Giggs has chosen it with these men from Toronto. heavy and presser released a second full-length mixtape later that year called press a brick, that project featuring arguably the biggest hit of his career so far canada goose alongside fellow toronto shooter tory lanez canada goose is today on a whopping of 23 million views, but the biggest surprise of all would come to Presser in late 2017, when he was finally acquitted of all charges in that kidnapping case.

This came after a preliminary hearing found there was insufficient evidence to identify Presser as the alleged gunman who hit the victim in the head and the victim was said to have tried to identify Presser using a YouTube video. of him rapping and all that apparently wasn't enough to involve the wrestler in the case, now those other two guys who were initially arrested with the press and were eventually found guilty of the crime. Lincoln Richards was brought back to Toronto from Montreal to face charges. Interestingly, he was also a rapper who went by the name Ratsky Galici.

He was convicted and sentenced to six years, while the alleged ringleader Taisha. Pistol Gordon ended up sentenced to nine years, so by the time the charges were dropped and the real crime ringleaders were sentenced, the press had made good on their promise to hit the streets and go legit, as a rapper in the industry press musical would eventually leave Toronto. move to Los Angeles, return to Hollywood and even end up in a romance with fellow squeaky-voiced rapper Coiler Ray, but the thing is that even after leaving the city, Presa would continue to maintain her ties to the streets, but in her music using their hit songs as opportunities. disrespect his ox whether down or still standing and even though the pressure changed his life while he was out on bail, shortly after he caught that kidnapping case, a well-known rival of Rexdale would be murdered becoming a name which Presser would mention and disrespect in his songs.

I often talk about Sizzlack, aka the realist in the six, to this day, almost the same day Pressure was arrested on that kidnapping charge. Cizlak, also known as Rexdale's lv, is killed. He was shot along with three other people who survived during a shootout. in a housing complex in the early hours of the morning and the moment of sizzlak's death was incredibly disturbing. He was murdered just days after releasing his biggest-ever playlist, which came with a music video that had numerous shots of Zizlak disrespecting his operations, including a scene in which he and a merchant throw gang signs that look like an upside down 3l meaning they are three l killers which if you remember 3l is another name for gangs coming out of jane and finch and not only that but one of the latest posts .

Whichmade on social media was a sinister image that is still circulating on Reddit today saying that even shooters get shot and according to the internet, he was really about it and when his death hit the media after being identified, it was revealed that Sizzlak was in Actually accused of a double murder years before his death, these were the murders of Elliot T-Bone Hughes and Goth Nicholas Palmer, which Cizlak never went to trial because a judge eventually dismissed one charge in September 2010 and another was dropped in October 2011. In the end, Sislak pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and only received a two-year sentence, even going so far as to rap about punching two bodies in his song.

What you know about me now, many of the traders have suggested that Cizlak only beat the defendants because he ratted out Presser by suggesting in his song attachments that there might be a reason why the traders don't post tributes to Sizzlak on her Instagram, but if you go and look at the court documents for that case, there is no suggestion that my sister made a statement and, frankly, if you look at the details of this case, the crime scene was a mess, it's no surprise that There wasn't much evidence to go on when it came to Sizzlac's involvement, so look, I don't know anything about the snitch accusations, but what I do know is that Sizzling seemed like a pretty real guy and, if the Internet is to be believed , he was definitely a feared member, this is probably why you hear people like Presser and the main five belittling him so regularly.

Even going further in what is probably one of the most creative gang methods I have ever seen as the presser has been seen on numerous occasions swinging a Louis Vuitton bell upside down because another nickname for sizzlak was also lv and using the lv backwards is like a secret message that means lv was deleted. All the guys that are doing this are lvk lv killers and this is a trend that other high level rappers would adopt as houdini was also seen wearing the louie backwards, I mean you almost have to hand it to these guys. points for creativity, but at the end of the day the reality of this situation is that this is just another young man from a difficult background who loses his life before he really had a chance to start it, but if you think that was bad in years following the streets of Toronto would truly turn into a bloodbath, as in February 2017 news emerged of an internal cleansing taking place within the Regent Park-based gangs and the war broke out. described as an internal dispute between the halal gang and sick thug members, both from Regent Park now.

I can't really guarantee how much violence on the streets is actually related to the music or musicians we've talked about in this video, but in 2016 many young and aspiring rappers from these areas would lose their lives in the most tragic circumstances a

deadly

ir and coming began on march 23 2016 when an up and coming toronto rapper named sea sick real name theon carrington is murdered this was the scene last night of the latest homicide in the city where a 29 year old man was shot to death. City News has confirmed the victim is Theon Carrington, seen here in this exclusive City News video in June 2015.

Messages on the wall, candles on the ground in this car lot alley near Dundas , where police found the 29-year-old's body. The elder Theon Carrington last Wednesday later died in hospital. The way this happened leads us to believe it was a targeted shooting after his regular Wednesday duties teaching basketball to children at the Regent Park community center. They say he was on his way to a recording. studio at the other end of the alley, investigators say Carrington and a friend were ambushed after getting out of a taxi, the friend escaped, Carrington was shot several times from behind and immediately after Seasick's funeral, another man is killed.

His name was Santana Real. Julian Semanas Julian was found by 51 division officers lying on the ground clinging to life in a large pool of blood in the parking lot of the Shell gas station located at Parliament Street and Richmond Street due to the large amount of blood that was present. Officers began searching the area and finding blood trails leading to the area of ​​Queen Street East in front of 362 Queen Street East Julian was attending a memorial celebration at Annie's Bar because his friend Sean Carrington Cion was murdered on March 23 in the Carla.y queen area in toronto the same way julian was a coward who carried a gun now the police finally identified a guy named tyke real name michael teddy gibson as the shooter he was another rapper from regent park who had some success initially as part of the duo turken tyke went on the run and was captured a year later in aruba after allegedly catching another body there and, a few months later, another aspiring rapper from regent park named ruck, real name marcus gibson, is shot to death in a housing complex near monroe.

Street and Dunder Street East and police later revealed that Ruck had previously been charged along with dizziness in a famous Toronto murder case. This was a crazy shooting in 2014 at the Garden Chinese Restaurant. This was the apparent result of a chain robbery gone wrong and he was even caught. on video as two groups of men fight in the restaurant hallway, pull out weapons and remove a chain. Now I probably can't show you that full video on YouTube, but believe me, it gets hot anyway after returning to your tables, the stolen party. He attempted to confront the robbers, at which point guns were drawn once again, but this time they were used leaving a man shot dead in a restaurant packed with around 60 to 80 witnesses present.

Both Ruck and Sisic were charged in that case, but they beat the case, but within two years, they have both been murdered, basically, this was not a safe time to be a gangster on the streets of Toronto, the slightest confrontation could lead to tragedy, make one wrong move and it could be your own Unix group shootout, which once again drives you home. how dead-end the streets are and how important it would be for some of these up-and-coming rappers to use music to escape these horrible circumstances. In fact, there is one person in this story who came this close to escaping the neighborhood. music before suffering some of the most tragic circumstances possible and that person's name is robinbanks while presser was traveling through europe on bail with drake and the gangs in regent park were shooting at each other in internal wars robinbanks was progressing in his music career and the up top records movie his previous songs like was gang and up next were becoming local classics his catchphrase tt or two turn was becoming a catchphrase in the city tracks like priceless with fb were ruining views and rumors were circulating that meek mill even was preparing to hire Robin Banks after she shared the song Priceless on her Instagram page, but behind the scenes it wasn't all pleasant in January 2017, someone was shot dead after the filming of a Robin Banks music video .

Additionally, it was alleged that around this time Robert Banks apparently owed a debt of ten thousand dollars to someone in town with a post circulating suggesting that he had been harassing Robin Banks on social media for the money for weeks, regardless of Whether or not any of these things have anything to do with what happened next, I can't be 100% sure, but the fact of the matter is that on April 4, 2017 things finally caught up with Robin Banks when she was dating. night at the Cameo Hookah Lounge Banks and was taken by surprise when someone opened fire, hitting three people, including Robin Banks, who was shot 14 times, with one bullet in the neck and nine bullets in the legs.

Gunshots erupted in front of a packed nightclub. The chaotic scene left three people shot and sent a man in his 20s to hospital with life-threatening injuries. A woman was rushed to hospital with serious injuries. Police are investigating whether they were targeted or simply victims of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was initially reported that Banks had died, but he was actually rushed to the hospital in critical condition and news eventually spread that he had survived the shooting and was fighting for his life in the hospital meek mill sent out prayers on twitter and the rhapsody from toronto waited on the edge of his seat to find out what happened finally robinbanks escaped alive but was paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair naturally the operators made fun of this fact in bad taste, but in reality robin banks' injuries were not joke, he was apparently so hurt that his family had to go to the crowdfunding website you to raise a whopping $300k to cover his medical expenses. tragic case, but at the very least, Robin Banks survived with her life intact, where the person responsible actually faces justice.

Now, once again, an image has circulated online purportedly showing the loan shark behind Robin Banks saying he got them before turning his page to private, but it's unclear whether or not this is real or belongs to the true suspects in the case, but what we do know to be true is that immediately after the shooting, police detained and detained two suspects for questioning, but they had no reason to hold them. and they just had to let them go, they finally realized their mistake, the cops issued a warrant for two people on charges of attempted murder, Rashawn Anderson and Nicholas Rhoden.

The cops also identified his black Honda Accord and its license plate, I assume, from when they pulled them out. Rashaan Anderson turned himself in to the police shortly after the warrant was announced, while Rhoden remained on the run for a couple of months and was eventually arrested in July 2017 when he was caught with a 9mm handgun, an extended clip and drugs. Toronto police arrested second suspect in connection with a shooting in north york the shooting occurred in the parking lot of cameo lounge near steeles and weston on april 3 the duo responsible for crippling robinbank were finally held accountable for their crimes three years later and in August 2020 Nicholas Rodin received a life sentence and his younger accomplice, Rashawn Anderson, received 16 years in prison for attempted murder and the prosecution said that both deserve life sentences because the moral standing of the acts that led to out on robinbanks it might as well have been murder, but luckily Robin Banks didn't let his paralysis completely crush his spirit and once he recovered he would continue rapping and releasing music from his chair, dropping the unusable comeback song, which included news audio about his shooting and then went down. other major tracks like i'm all that and his mixtape are still here and continuing to push the up top movement as far as he could, overseeing the release of the up top northside jane mixtape and generally just being an inspiring figure in the up top scene.

Toronto rap for This Day proves that you can survive the worst of the worst and still stay strong and not let it get in the way of building a fulfilling life, achieving your creative goals and pursuing fulfillment, so Robin Banks is a true inspiration for surviving what happened. to the end and continue to pioneer and inspire the next generation of Toronto rappers. A big shout out to Robin Banks because, after Robin Banks' paralysis in 2017, there was no shortage of tragedies on the streets of Toronto. Another up-and-coming Rexdale artist named Young Dubs was also gaining momentum in the rap game.

He started early, releasing his first track on the reel in 2012, slowly making his way through the Toronto rap scene and eventually finding his way into the OVO circle working with legendary producer Drake. 40 and was recording a song called gang in his studio, however, the dubs would never see that song released because before it came out on May 12, 2017, he would tragically lose his life after being shot in the head in Brampton House, our residents heard. several shots fired around 10:30 last night a police came running and found a 28 year old man without vital signs, they told me that he was shot in the head and in fact died collapsed against the door of one of the units, another man The gunshot wound appeared at a local hospital a few minutes later and he was transported to a trauma center in Toronto.

Fans on the Internet lamented Young Dubs' loss of potential after his assassination, but of course the ops were less kind and g and Houdini criticized him. in her song, the aunt says they put dubs on their backs or tobacco, she says they smoke, but as the two opposing sides of the Toronto war would shoot at each other, their most feared operation would prepare to attack and I'm not talking about The gang. I'm talking about the police because in June2017, Toronto cops hit driftwood ambushes in response to all the activity on the streets, launching a chronic project, a massive operation that apparently involved 800 officers from two police forces across Ontario.

We allege that the Driftwood Crips are a criminal organization comprised of a number of different cells operating throughout Ontario and Western Canada. They have been involved in events related to homicides, shootings, kidnappings, firearms and drug trafficking. In total, there will be approximately 120 defendants and more than 660 charges related to criminal organization, attempted murder and trafficking crimes. firearms kidnapping conspiracies firearms possession robbery and drug trafficking and the drugs included are marijuana heroin methamphetamine cocaine and fentanyl yes the police really came down on driftwood seizing 200 bullets 135 grams of weed 133 fentanyl pills 18 weapons including two sawed-off shots and 177 thousand dollars in cash, the driftwood crips were really here using all the tricks, unlimited weapons, unlimited ammo, cash bonus, hell, I'm surprised they didn't even generate a couple of comments and fed seeds to those two with more than 660 positions for around 120 people distributed.

In this case, the arrest is related to crimes as serious as attempted murder, kidnapping, conspiracy, firearms trafficking and drug trafficking, and although many cigarettes and joints were removed from the streets as part of this operation, unfortunately they were not would be enough to stop the violence. in the streets and the next defeat would be the incident that turned the top five of the jungle into a demon. His brother, who went by the silly real name Saeed Ali, would be shot in a pharmacy parking lot alone on July 31, 2017. Just minutes away from him and the top five neighborhoods of Lawrence Heights, this entire area was packed. of bullet casings, including this blue car right across the street, so there may have been a chase, there may have been some kind of altercation between the victim and his attacker or attackers, the police can't confirm that yet, yes They say so, although they believe that Mr.

Ali and his attacker or attackers exchanged a few words. A fool would later succumb to his gunshot wound and passed away. One fool seemed like a really happy-go-lucky guy on social media and it's unclear if he was really on the streets like that or if that bullet was intended for the top five, but regardless of why it happened, the loss of the fool greatly affected the top five. , would come out of this incident with a chip on his shoulder and a score to settle eventually becoming what he would describe as the biggest demon in town, but before we get to that, let's turn the page to 2018, another tragic year for Toronto Drill, as one of the biggest and most promising names on the scene would do. losing his life before Smoke Dog was killed 2018 had already been a wild year for opposing Driftwood rappers in June 2016 and g was involved in an attempted murder caught on camera where the victim was allegedly paralyzed another clip that is likely too shocking to show on youtube after being named a suspect in this case by police who released video of the shooting, and g was on the run evading authorities for about two years with Toronto police punching the air desperate to find their suspect, but yg would eventually be caught in a dramatic scene in early 2018, being arrested as part of a firearms-related investigation in Columbus, Ohio and being sent back to Canada in the custody of two Toronto detectives who paraded him around the airport on camera.

Welcome home, but in a shocking turn of events yg would beat his attempted murder case in five months, announcing in November that the feeling of beating those charges is better than sex, as well as a post-tagging presser who said that he gave 50,000 to his lawyer and even contacted yg. The academic DJs then retold the whole story as if it were nothing. I have been in the United States hiding from the police in a foster home for two years. They caught me there for a shootout. They sent me back to Toronto. I'm sorry for everything that happened. they've been blowing i don't know anything while driftwood was celebrating yg's homecoming down at regent smoke the dog would be celebrating his success after a long time behind his hit trap house song the cocky dog ​​was on his way to the top he completely joined the drake's ovo group after a tour with them.

Smoke Dog was working on his highly anticipated debut album, Fight Before Glory, but his success had been soured by trouble on the streets, particularly a fight he had been having with another group of rappers from the nearby Alexandra Park area. , specifically Casper and K Money, who had apparently snatched Smoke Dog's chain and used it in a music video in retaliation. His house was shot up and Smoke Dog had filmed a music video on his blog. Casper and K Money actually. He went on a slide in Regent Park shooting into a crowd of people and was eventually stopped by undercover cops who rammed his car, forcing them to run, they embarked on a massive, seemingly bizarre, high-speed chase through Toronto, eventually giving up. the whip and running through a construction yard where they were arrested, they found around 97 charges for this and would eventually plead guilty.

Now both Trap geek and Hood Chronicles have fire videos about that in Sedum, so go watch them if you want more details on this crazy story, but that's not really relevant to what we're talking about today because after Smoke Dog escaped from a pair of shooters who attacked him, unfortunately there were others waiting around the corner and on June 30, 2018 in front of a downtown nightclub called Cube Smoke. The dog got into a fight with 21 clean driftwood, at some point guns were pulled and 21's knee ended up killing the cocky dog. As well as his manager, Smoke Dog, he was shot in the head and left dead on the ground to let everyone see it.

Shocking images of him on the ground are circulating on social media and once again too shocking to be shown on YouTube where a man died. witnesses at the scene say he was shot in the head the other was taken to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries the third victim remains in the hospital the man who shot smoke dog 21 in the knee along with a 16-year-old accomplice They fled the scene in a black-tinted SUV and would continue to flee for quite some time and 21 Knee was eventually captured about a year later in British Columbia, but his 16-year-old accomplice was never found, who after the shooting, the news quickly identified up-and-coming rapper Smoke Dog as the victim and Once again, after Smoke Dog's passing, the city would prefer Drake pay tribute to the fallen rapper, over the weekend he posted it on his story and current Toronto Mayor John Tory , even met with director x Killer Beats and the official Cardinal after Smoke's murder. dog to try to better understand the violence that was occurring in the Toronto rap community.

Smoke Dog would later be commemorated in the moving short film Remember Me Toronto made by mr for the halal gang poet in Regent Park and which includes interviews with Many people on both sides of the city's current dispute gathered in response to the fact that 2018 It was the most violent year on record in Toronto since Presser and Smoke Dog spent time together on Drake's tour. Many people thought there might be some respect. for him after the passage of the smoke dogs and for a while it seemed that he was paid at least some degree of respect while he was alive, but due to the fact that he was killed by 21 clean driftwood sides, he would eventually be chosen and would retaliate.

Incidents would unfold throughout the city and in music, and in time, numerous top rappers would find themselves dissing Smoke Dog in their songs. Presta dissed him in Dracula and made fun of the incident on the track. yg was seen laughing at passing smoke dogs on an instagram live and the top five claimed to have literally seen the smoke dog die in person while yg was in jail. I saw you say I'm trying to cut it, you're my, you see it live. There I am trying to tell people that I have seen his brains in person. I don't know like you're sitting on things.

You are in jail. You know, the poet's staff and the halal band are usually not people to look down on. The operations, since they are religious, focus more on positivity and music, but at some point Mustafa, the poet, got tired of people looking down on the smoke dog after his death and started calling people in Snapchat saying that the smoke dog is the reason many of these people even have a platform, so they should keep his name out of their mouths. This stunner is badmouthing the smoke dog, suggesting the press has a lot of dead friends to mourn, mocking him for how tall he is and safe from the halal gang, he also went on to share. direct messages from the press suggesting that the press was a fan.

The press would also applaud on Instagram mocking the poet's staff saying he was a fake Muslim and even the press's big brother Bundog would jump in to defend the height of the press anyway, the smoke dog's step was huge. loss for Regent Park and in many ways it was also a loss for Driftwood because they would now face more danger on the streets and would probably have lost $21 net for a long prison sentence if they were convicted of the murder of a smug dog, but the tragedy was not like that. It's over for the clean brothers because about a year and a half after clean 21 killed the smoke dog, his brother 22 knee, also known as dirty 22, also caught the body in December 2019, allegedly killing his own friend, another rapper from his label called ys with 22 dirty, fleeing to Alberta, where he was finally captured, but not by the police, but by the operations that killed him the day after Christmas, where he was found dead in the middle of a Calgary highway after a wild shootout in the middle of the street, so it's a sad ending for Smoke Dog and both of them. of the ordained brothers and at a certain point it starts to feel like the entire city of Toronto is cursed and if your name isn't Aubry Graham you're probably going to end up dead or in prison and from here the city just continued from tragedy after tragedy After the brothers' neat story ended with one dead and another in jail, another brother duo on the other side of town found themselves in the same situation. young dubs brother who was murdered in 2011, young lava catches a body in maine. 2019 allegedly played a role in the murder of Blaine Grindley at a Rexdale home.

He would also flee to the United States and was eventually caught in Minnesota with 67 guns after crossing the border. He would eventually plead guilty to those weapons charges before the United States. The state troopers will likely have to sit out and serve whatever sentence they receive for that in the United States before they can even be sent back to Canada to face justice for the alleged murder. Another sad ending to a tragic chain of events, but as dust. settled in the feud between Regent Park and Driftwood, the ggs in the Lawrence Heights jungle would have their block hotter than ever as the top five and their fin gg enforcer went crazy in the streets desperate to take the title of top demons from Toronto really here. trying to give King Van a run for his money since his brother's murder, the first five fools went from taking off their shirts to shooting Shawy and seemed to be surrounding themselves with the most feared shooters Toronto had to offer, specifically their flipper homie of Jungle, is currently charged with the March 19, 2019 murder of Jerome Bell, who went by the name Murder.

He was also a rapper on the Toronto scene known for involving mob shots and after this alleged murder it would take Toronto police about a year to catch up. with flipper during which, along with his fellow gg top five, flipper would make numerous songs with many lyrics that referenced the dirt he was doing on the streets, there was a track drill a bit more where flipper states that his 30s They sent an option to the gentleman. saying that operations could have gotten one of theirs, but he has four. He straight up says he's catching bodies in the camry along with more lyrics in exercise track six where he says he's the somali ketchum bodies, but the ggs wouldn't do it. stop there just a few months later, it will claim another life under very familiar circumstances, a teenage driller named clutch who was supposedly even a cousin of the top five, but came from the jungle drop staff operations block, now thatapparently clutch had been clowning around with death. of topfi's dumb brother who was murdered outside a shopper brand pharmacy apparently posted since deleted clips on social media taunting the dumb with a shopping bag from the store in which he was murdered outside and so on, sometime after making these posts apparently while I was on my way home.

From a night playing video games with friends, 16-year-old Clutch was shot and killed in a shooting at 30 Full Staff Ave near Jane Street and three suspects were seen fleeing in a dark slingshot, everyone in the community clearly got out because we're literally in shock. because he's like the most innocent kid, um, the sweetest, funniest kid, he's hilarious, he doesn't cause trouble after clutch's murder, his name would become some kind of catchphrase for the top five who would say he was smoking clutch at any time. opportunity, whether the song's lyrics live on or not. or even interviews with academic DJs and press where the top five are clearly eager to break up, of course, of course, yes, yes, yes, just don't smoke, just don't, just don't, no, no, no, don't run, no abs or no abs, don't smoke, just smoke it in that clutch, don't rest in peace, whoever he grabs anyway, like a lot of Toronto men who catch a body and do the fin race, couldn't outrun the police to always about a year after the murder of murder fin. real name syed mohadeen is arrested for murder on march 12, 2020 and then, in a shocking turn of events while in custody, is charged with another murder for apparently taking out a reputed toronto mob boss in earnest, If the police are to be believed that Flipper was here, the frosting made mafia men and of course after his arrest in two bodies, the top five were beaming with pride for their friends, many

deadly

crimes, I hang with damn, flip put, this got caught with two bodies, he'll beat him, innocent flipper flip, but He just, that's my big dog, he just got busted for two bodies, but if you thought that was crazy enough, it doesn't end there because even after being taken to jail, Flipper ended up going viral on social media once again after getting his hands on him. a phone in jail and recording a video with him and all of his friends smoking a lot of gasoline in the prison wing.

A clip that was eventually posted to Top 5's Instagram. It looks like a pre-covered party, but sources told City News the video was taken inside. Last month here at Toronto South Detention Centre, that video shows several high-profile inmates smoking marijuana using contraband technology and ignoring all the coveted precautions in the video. It's Toronto rapper Flippa Syed Mohaddin, who is currently facing two counts of murder for his alleged role in the march. 2019 death of jerome bell after the death of smoke dog at the hands of 21 knee along with the murder of his brother 22 clean both sides were mourning a great loss and sadly the pain was far from over for the top movement that would Go on to lose another brotherly rap duo under very similar circumstances, the tall twins who had built a decent reputation in the Toronto rap scene at the time having released their biggest song, 456, with burner bands and houdini soon they would find themselves in trouble in October 2018.

Tyrique knows where the also known as double trouble 4400 of the high twins together with burner bands and fb of the upper movement were seen late in the afternoon of the 25th gathering a large number of plants in a marijuana grow facility, the only problem was that is not their grow facility, they ended up confronting three guys who owned and operated the grow license, one of those guys got a whip and eventually they all got tied up. Unfortunately for the thieves, an associate of the owners hid in a car outside and called. The police, when the police arrived, the robbers fled, one left in a car and the others ran towards a nearby corn field.

Those running guys were no match for the police search team who used dogs on the ground and helicopters in the sky to hunt down these crop thieves at 4am everyone was handcuffed including Facebook who even got bitten by a police dog and the cops took the trio of rapper thieves along with a transport truck full of stolen weed and fully loaded weapons. Equipped with laser sights and a bunch of balaclavas, all of this would make building a case as easy as a layman for Toronto cops, and things would be made even worse by the fact that when they were in jail, Facebook and Tyreek went live on Instagram taunting her captors and waving a prison handle just in case she finally got the crow gang, the girl got the right tire from the tall twins, ended up being sentenced to four years after pleading guilty, then He was released on bail and ran away, and he is currently wanted for violating the law. the terms of him along with Facebook, who received a little more than four years for his participation in the case, meanwhile, Bernard Bans pleaded not guilty and has yet to face trial;

However, it was not Tyrique of the tall twins who would suffer the most tragic fate because just three months after a tall twin was sentenced to four years in prison for the theft of a crop, his brother Tyrone Noseworthy, also known as 44 double or tall twins, would become involved in a deadly confrontation at a condo party in Lakeshore West around 9 p.m. m. on January 31. 2020 two groups at the condominium party argued in front of everyone and at 10:30 p.m. two men opened fire in the unit and outside in the hallway the scene was pure chaos and three people ended up dead in very suspicious circumstances among the deceased.

They were jaden coley joshua gibson skier and tyrone worthy of the tall twins the barrage of bullets started flying last night at 10:20 creating a scene of panic that is becoming very routine in toronto the security guards inside the condo helped save the a person's life according to Unfortunately, the property management three young men only 22, 20 and 19 years old were not so lucky, but the craziest thing is that the police said that the initial evidence pointed to a double murder suicide and it was suggested that one of the people in the shooting may have killed two people. and then themselves, but this version of events has been disputed by some and the only thing that is really clear is that not many people will know the true circumstances of what happened in that condo that day, but either way, it was a great loss for everyone. that representative at the top, but arguably his biggest loss was just around the corner, as in May 2020 we would see the tragic loss of rapper Houdini, aside from Presser, who by 2020 was living the life in Los Angeles, away from the mean streets of jane and finch the.

The next top prospect to come out of the box was Houdini. He had been making big moves in music. At this point, his nightly theme with his recording bands was doing well, even going gold. He had a great song in November 2018 with presto called up and down. The 2019 mixtape Who I Am peaked at No. 27 on the Canadian independent music charts and one of her latest releases, a feature on Kylie's song VVS released by Six Buzz, the Toronto rap media organization that had just signing a joint venture deal with Warner Music Canada, got people thinking. General recognition was just around the corner for a young Houdini, but a month after his release, tragedy would strike again, as on May 26, 2020, Houdini is murdered in downtown Toronto in broad daylight. day.

Here much of the incident was caught on camera with a A six-year-old girl was even caught in the crossfire, according to police, in a blue VW Tiguan that had been waiting for Houdini for approximately 30 to 40 minutes and when a group saw him As kids they jumped out of the car and went straight to Houdini with weapons. Tributes arrive today for Dimaggio Jenkins. The 21-year-old musician also known as Houdini was shot and killed in King on Blue Jay Road. On Tuesday afternoon, police believe Jenkins and a 15-year-old man who was wounded in the shooting were targeted. The third victim, a 27-year-old woman, was an innocent bystander according to investigators.

Police say the suspect vehicle was parked for nearly 40 minutes waiting. for the two victims to return to their car, this was another tragic loss for the city of Toronto, great rappers honored him like Meek Mill and Tory Lanez and said that many shootings occurred in the city after this murder while the war in the streets intensified. In fact, things got so bad that Houdini's own memorial service was shot 60 times in a shocking scene that was also caught on video once again. I probably shouldn't show you that on youtube, but it's even crazier than the fact that the operators tried it. shooting at houdini's memorial service is the fact that the people on houdini's side pulled the straps and fired back, and the cops finally got close and just locked up the people on houdini's side who were shooting trying to defend themselves after being hit in the shooting and caught shooting. back while out on bail and parole God above is arrested as well as gangs of burners who are still out on bail for that robbery that went wrong and hadn't gone to trial yet for anyone but the loss of Houdini was devastating for Toronto rappers once again.

Yet another case of massive loss of potential for one of the city's most promising artists. It's hard to think how much Houdini would have accomplished by now if he hadn't been taken away from us so soon. I wish I could say that. After all these losses on the streets, the surviving rappers of the Toronto drill scene would start to move right and move forward with a more positive approach to life, but sadly that is not the case and when it comes to negativity, it is lacking of respect and disregard for human life in At this point, there is a man whose name is above everyone else in Toronto and that man's name is in the top five.

The top five had been looking for trouble throughout 2020, being seen on social media approaching the basketball court and the all-staff operations block criticizing the dead. He constantly trades on songs and social media and even puts time limits on trading chains by telling DJ Snoopy live in front of everyone he sees that he would snatch the chain from him in seven days, everyone watching us gives us seven days to catch his train I promise you what, now, cookie, seven days, do it, do you want to do this, seven days, tell everyone, everyone watch these seven days, Snoopy won't have his chain, uh, agree with me right now, Uh, oh, you sound so sad that you want my son, can't we?

Do it Do you want to use my Snoopy seven day challenge? Do you want to remember my mother's life? He would sit me on your chain. I'll put it in my mind. Why did you want to read it? Yes, I know if you sit down. I was in this. channel is fine, do you think I can't take your equipment? Listen, what's not going to say? What is this? Do you think I can't take your chin? You're not taking my chain. I'll take off my collar and give it to you. give it to yourself and then you have to make sure you stop changing it.

Do you think I can't accept your chain? You can answer my question. The top five can't accept my change. A seven day challenge. Do you want the seven day challenge? I'm sure you can't do gtv. It's the 23rd. Everyone remembers what I told them. The stupid chain is going to disappear a moment ago. Something told me not to wear my chains at the mall today. Luckily, no one came looking for my pendant. they got my brother's pendant, yeah the top five really took that train, as well as Snoopy's Gucci hat that he threw onto the road, that's the kind of moment the top five were in while shootouts were going on in the streets , including one in which 27 shots were fired. shot hitting two people toronto police say almost 30 shell casings were found at the scene when they arrived, two men were located with gunshot wounds, one in critical condition and the other with similar injuries.

Now this incident was apparently the shooting of fellow up-and-coming Toronto rapper, Duvi. well known for dissing houdini in songs and this shooting strangely occurred on the same day he released his song Nightmaries Duve, luckily he survived this incident however sadly about a month later nhs jj would be murdered, both duvy and jj were from the south side, jane and had been going back and forth with North Jane and Jungle rappers for quite some time and after these tragic shootings, the top five were gloating even mentioning this incident in a broadcast oni live with dj academics saying some wild jj just packed up they said top five yes doovey the sexiest in town who's dumb they just shot him like last month that's what i was going to ask you top five first, you don't have to answer, but what happened with doofy was you, yes or no, yes, dj.

The street currents of the academics in Toronto are so wild that he has to intervene to make sure that no one stops any crime and that would be quite difficult considering the fact that the top five would regularly join the academics to expose all the street happenings that there were been happening in toronto let me tell you what happened in toronto books you know books right yeah you gotta let it go oh shh there's the next rapper called snoopy you could go to on youtube i took his chain you at the mall you took his shame and i told him i It would take in 14 days online and I got it on the 9th day.

There are like seven artists in Toronto who were shot and like everyone else, they have Legos. You know what I mean? You're terrorizing the city. I'm a Demon Scholars even made it into the top five and Doofy on the same broadcast and the resulting argument between these two making fun of each other's dead friends was chilling a snitch kid. You have a swim with Lego. You're a snitch. Your brother died of a legos what the hell did he just pack up I'm here jj me now this whole problem on academic broadcasts was a big problem academics have practically the most influential rap platform in America that kept everyone in peace and not let's forget the fact that the academics More or Less came out of reporting on the street events of Chicago Drill and for the first time was showing the world that the streets of Toronto were also dangerous and full of demons and that these broadcasts were like the five best chromaz presser and other rap from Toronto.

Legends did a lot to put Toronto faces on the US map, however, you can see by the way the top five came on these broadcasts and talked about crime so matter-of-factly that perhaps it was also starting to take to that demon a little. As of January 14, 2021, he released his song Two Cases, a tribute to his gg bro Flipper, who is still incarcerated for those two murder cases, and the top five posted some demonic lyrics criticizing dead ops like Slugger and Clutch, but only two weeks after song two. The cases eliminated in the top five would end up detecting their own case on the night of January 31, 2021.

Emergency services were called to Jane Street and Full Staff Avenue after reports of automatic gunshots and when officers arrived they found a man inside of a vehicle suffering. gunshot wounds he was later pronounced dead at the scene, this victim was found at the scene suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in life threatening conditions, but that victim was pronounced dead here at the scene the victim was named as student hashim omar 20-year-old Hashi with the Cops claim he was just an innocent accounting student with no gang affiliation, just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but here's where things get weird, just a week after killed the top five out of nowhere and posted a news report on his Instagram where he appears to defend his violent lyrics by essentially saying that he only raps about violence for money and that's not really the case with the entire segment emerging on global news.

The top 5 is part of a thriving Toronto hip-hop scene that's internationally recognized thanks to artists like Drake Torrey Lanes and The Weeknd, but the rapper says there's also a stigma attached to crime and violence. To be honest, people see shootings here and are afraid. He says artists here have become polarizing figures, including himself. Millions of views on YouTube, tens of thousands on Instagram. followers, but like many of the top five he also has members of the critic community who say his music sends a violent message. He says that's what he sells, but it's up to everyone to change that message.

Rap less about violence because you don't want to excite anyone else. go do something to retaliate like rap less about violence and we're making it today, you know what I mean, we're getting into the industry, we're here, we're trying to get the right records in the top five, acting in a very different way than what he does in academics is when he talks about bodies against bodies that his team beats and a week later it became very clear why the first five might have wanted to clean up their image a little in the media, since they They were arrested for being an accessory to the murder that had occurred two weeks earlier, but in a surprising turn of events they did not have enough evidence to arrest him and the first five were released after posting a hilarious clip where they claimed to have given their lawyer a ggg train and saying that he has two, three, four thousand in front of him, I have my Lauren with me, all those 234 thousand, always for years, look at this, look at that, I will tell you what is the top five that will really allow the children of your loyal go to college right now. rate because about three months after he was released on accessory charges, the police revealed that those charges had been upgraded to full-fledged first-degree murder and, naturally, the police were unable to locate the first five and warn the public that he is still on freedom. and dangerous, so the top five are literally on the run for murder right now and you'd think he'd know to lay low, but none of the top five continued to post on their ig story, essentially mocking the cops who were desperate for finding him and I couldn't follow up with subsequent stories that referenced his global news segment from February saying that his violent lyrics are all caps and that he's just trying to sell music for money, as well as referencing his top lawyer saying that the police upgraded their murder charges without new evidence the top five were also posted almost at the same time on Instagram dis and clutch okay pizza all the fallen soldiers you miss me why I miss my clutch who's going to rat out the top five that that's a good question the top 5 were lives again on the 22nd defending himself saying he didn't do it all the time while people are piling up in the comments saying the toronto police are punching the air right now oh my god run away from the Top five, run, baby, run, they can't catch you, I have to Everyone knows I don't, but it's 144?

But I'm so full of smoke and at a certain point the mere fact that the top five were on the run for murder and still posting on their social media becomes breaking news in itself, Bartus. has been connecting with fans on social media, there's just one problem: he's also on the run, wanted for murder, which appears to be in the top five. Speaking on an Instagram live video over the weekend, his viewers tell him that he is a fugitive. Asking is not the best. five on the run for a body, the rapper seems to reply, the only one I know is the president, now I know what question you're thinking, the people surely in the top five don't keep living with academic DJs while he's on the run for murder. right, oh yeah, the top five still appear on academic djs' twitch live streams while on the run for murder, with academics seemingly unaware of the magnitude of the top five's situation or the likelihood that the feds would be Watching and stalking for clues to the whereabouts of Toronto's Biggest Demon, I thought it was just a song, but I heard you got caught for two cases and he said, bro, I'm going to beat it that easy.

They try to frame me for some. Are you trying with a friend? Oh, no, no man, he's in it. run from what's not there's no run, yell, okay, I need to run a little, I'm going to run a bit, there's nothing wrong with running a bit at this point, the top five was basically in a combined press race. and in the murder race making headlines again when he went live the following month, this time seeking to sit down with then-Toronto Mayor John Tory, saying he wanted to speak to the mayor personally before speaking to him. I'm telling the cops that if they want to meet with me, tell John Tory to contact John Tory.

If John Tory reaches out, I'm connecting with Eddie. 30 minutes i want to split my facts and he spits his facts i run toronto in response to the big five's bid to sit down toronto mayor john tory issued a simple statement saying i know the devastation and trauma the murders in our city have caused to the families and neighborhoods and it is very worrying to know that someone accused of murder has not made himself available to the authorities so far, but the first five did not allow what the mayor had to say or that body that was hanging over his head prevented him from moving forward with his career. and in August 2021 he would return to live in a recording studio to assure fans that he still has time to work on that album while he is on the run for murder.

Okay, we're already at a thousand. Yeah, listen, I want this to do. Tomorrow's news you want to know where I am. Are your blogs there? Look, look, Toronto is mine. I'm in the studio working on this album. I caught that shot that shot him in the back and when I'm on staff, I'm leaving. clutch pack and when I'm on the e, I go out of that slow slow clutch, there's nothing to snitch on and I'll never be a snitch, I'm not part of any crime, nothing, I ain't with the shit, all you guys . see escap the only real thing is that the clutch is dead and of course the top five continue to mock their new top operator once again mayor john tory hey where is john tory and i still want to have dinner with you?

Jokes the mind of Toronto, how come John Tory is useful and when you're around me, naturally, all this brazen behavior and screaming mares made the top five literally in the top five on the list of the Toronto's most wanted, but it turns out the top five weren't there? just running out and going live all these times just for laughs, oh no, all this suspicious internet activity was actually a genuine part of his promotional plan to push a new song he released while on the run from the murder movie he's hosting. YG and Presta's older brother Bundog, who served 10 years for that YBK conspiracy charge at the beginning of this story, came out in late 2020 and flew straight to Dubai for a celebratory vacation and began releasing songs under the name from bundog with themes like brick.

For the low and true story, they both go very hard, but it was Boondog's appearance in the movie with YG and the top five that caught the attention of the fitness community once again on the track. Bundog says he's smoking sizzlak and says it's going to get dark. duvi and send it to jj and of course the top five was all over the song saying he smokes clutch and slugger and ladies and gentlemen I know you're waiting for the part of the story where I say the top five were caught in a daring dawn attack in a small Toronto suburb you've never heard of, but that's not the case.

This is where the story ends and the first five are still on the run for murder at this point and he's still living with DJ academics talking trash in ops and pretending he's not here literally on the run for murder is anyone looking for you or are you good? you're straight you're you're good I'm straight you're straight and of course everyone keeps in the comments saying The feds are looking right, they're clearly not looking hard enough. He was like my favorite rapper from Toronto, literally out of everyone, he was my favorite and I just think he was 21, like there's no way this could have happened.

Julian was found by the 51st Division. Officers lying on the ground clinging to life in a large pool of blood in the parking lot of the Shell gas station located at Parliament Street and Richmond Street. Police found the body of Theon Carrington, 29, last Wednesday. He later died at City News Hospital. confirmed the victim is Theon Carrington seen here in this exclusive City News video in June 2015. Tributes are pouring in today for Dimargio Jenkins, the 21-year-old musician, also known as Houdini, who was shot dead on King and Blue Jay's Way on Tuesday afternoon. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's really nothing cool or glamorous about the gang lifestyle.

You can enjoy the songs, style, culture and slang that comes from the toughest and meanest streets of every country in the world. world, but the reality of gang life is nothing more than death, pain, loss, injuries and missed opportunities. It hurts to imagine how different things could have been if each side of this dispute hadn't lost so many people with so much potential. The smoke dog couldHaving been one of the biggest and biggest rappers to ever come out of his city, Houdini's potential was huge, you could see from the talent in the songs he had released that he was clearly going to go far, but when you're tangled up in the streets so deeply it doesn't matter. talent or toughness will save you, the smartest thing you can do is get as far away as possible from the area that causes you the greatest danger.

Chief Keef had to escape Chicago to stay alive and it seems the pressure has increased to do the same. He himself moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream in music and, frankly, at this point he's just lucky to still be alive after all the craziness he's been through in his life over the years. this story. I came across a Great clip about Torontotology from Reddit where the poet's lord summed up the scene where no matter what anyone says, none of these are taking w. It's funny because a lot of these pieces want to be like "ah, who took the biggest one, no one took." a w brother, they all took an l, they all have and it's true, it's sad, but they all have death, brother, they all have in jail, they all have, they're poor, you know, I'm saying they don't know how to support themselves.

They know how to provide for their families and as long as that's the reality, everyone's lost bro, you know what I'm saying, facts, no one really takes a w in the streets, whether it's Chicago, Jacksonville, Toronto or London, every time that you make the decision to lean towards the streets instead of a better lifestyle trying to do good for your people, you will end up taking a l Eventually, in many ways, the most inspiring and powerful story of this entire saga is that of Robin Banks, he was shot and paralyzed as a result of his restraints on the streets, but after suffering a fate that many people would consider worse than death, he continued to focus on his passions: making music, uplifting his people, launching projects that direct his label and ultimately inspire the next generation to It is better to focus on the music and avoid the worst possible outcomes that life on the streets can offer.

A lot of people don't have what it takes to go through what Robin Banks went through and move on, so if Robin Banks can pull through and continue to be a positive inspiration to the city even after going through one of the toughest losses imaginable, then, What's the excuse for the next teenager to emerge from the drift with his entire body and brain intact, his entire life ahead of him, and a chance to do better than the rest of us? that came before them, I hope that the next generations of kids coming out of the challenging blocks of Toronto don't have to go through what the previous generation had to endure to build this incredible music scene from the ground up.

It was a long and bloody road. To get to this point and all the names you've heard throughout this story, living or dead, played their part in building the Toronto drill scene from scratch, it's because of them that the next generation of Young people who grew up in tough areas of Toronto have the opportunity to do better. I just hope the next generation doesn't like it. This story meant a lot to me. I hope it meant a lot to you.
