Former D.C. drug kingpin Tony Lewis Sr. sat down for his first-ever VladTV interview, and he started off speaking to Vlad about growing up in D.C. in the 1970s. He explained that he had a hard upbringing, and Tony spoke about how he ended up in the streets at 14 because he saw his mother struggling to make ends meet. From there, Tony detailed his early operations as a teen and how he switched things up by getting a house and a crew. Tony also spoke about an incident that led to him getting involved in a federal investigation with someone who cooperated and told everything. Tony then spoke about his case, including spending $200,000 on a lawyer, which he said was a “waste” because they were trying to make an example out of him and his co-defendants. During the conversation, Tony spoke about his experiences in prison and how his son kept him going while he was starting his own non-profit organization to give back to his community. To hear more, including Tony speaking about his release from prison, hit the full interview above.

I’ve been waiting to see an interview from Tony Lewis, Sr since he was released. I moved to the DMV in 1987 from Texas. I was 7 years old at that time and 9 years old when he and Rayful were arrested. I was too young to pay any attention to their trial but I do remember it being on the news. By the time I was in my early 20’s, I was more familiar about their case and what they were arrested for. I actually met Tony Jr when I was at a function and he was advocating his fathers release then. I’m glad to see that his work payed off and to see him and his father together again is amazing. They are currently in the city still raising awareness on incarceration even after his fathers release.

Wtf is wrong with yall community? This guy DESTROYED thousands n thousands of children’s lives n their families by getting sooooo many people heavily addicted to hardcore drugs. Y’all always yap about some evil white dude that shot 1 person yet you’ll have a black dude who killed or had countless young black dudes killed plus all the children’s lives who were ruined n all the black women who’s lives were destroyed n ended up selling their bodies n even worse n you will praise them n wish they have a great successful life. It is INSANE !!! It’s be like white people wishing the leader of the aryan brotherhood or Dahmer to end up having some great successful life. It would never ever happen.

But our stories not really told. All we got right now is BMF. But it's so many heavyweights that need their story told and 🎥 filmed

You can tell he's ole school. He is rocking Sergio Tacchini sweat jacket, which was name brand sweat suits back in the late 80's and early 90's! I remember my cousin gave me one of his sergio Tacchini sweat suits, and I got robbed on a bus for my jacket! I was like 13 years old, and this grown ass man stuck me up with a 38 caliber gun!

Hearing about Rayful Edmond or even Felix Mitchell makes me miss that show American Gangster. It used to be on BET, they had a bunch of seasons and covered all those guys and many others. I can't find it anywhere to watch them now.

I patrolled Anacostia for 17 yrs on Mids. Started in 81 and saw the change from OGs playing craps and selling Cooley Bags..$5 to young crews that dropped bodies and ran the Reg OGs off.Little Kids got recruited to avoid adult charges. Barry Farms became a target range that sold drugs. Most of SE was the same. Projects, no dads. Saying that, as a white kid learning to urban police, I dont blame those youngins for anything except the bodies. The lives of these kids was just poverty on poverty. Then a way to get rich fast was right there. I dont blame them at all. I always feel bad for the Grandmas and such on my beat. I doubt the next guy gave them special attention. I cleared those spots in front. No hanging in front of old folks places. My special peave. Lol. And bodies piling up.

I remember the his OG Cornell Jones who said he grew up in that rats and roaches environment. Desperation will make you make those choices. Once you get addicted to the money. It’s hard to step away. A lot of working class people just did coke to party. That’s why most of the money was made on the weekend.
