Power Just drops explosive truths about snitches, street codes, and what really happened with Big Den in this raw, unfiltered conversation that exposes the decay of honor in Staten Island's streets.
Coming straight off 16 years in federal prison without ever cooperating, Power Just addresses long-standing rumors head-on. He dismantles allegations that he set up Big Den, challenging the logic: "Do I look like I would put a nigga that I'm trying to get knocked down in my car?" With the authority of someone who's lived the consequences of his code, he offers a masterclass in street ethics for a generation he believes has lost its way.
The conversation takes a scathing turn as Power Just names specific individuals he labels as federal informants who continue to move freely in neighborhoods like Park Hill and Stapleton. His disgust is palpable when discussing those who cooperate with authorities while attempting to maintain street credibility: "A thief is after your salary, a liar is after your reality." This philosophical perspective elevates the discussion beyond typical street talk, offering genuine wisdom about loyalty and consequences.
Drawing from his extensive experience in the federal system, Power Just breaks down the stark reality of its 98.6% conviction rate and warns younger listeners about the existential threat posed by associating with known informants. His reflection on Staten Island's changed street culture—from a time when "every part of the island was sturdy" to what he sees now as "nasty work"—reveals a man committed to preserving a code he believes matters, even as others abandon it.
