Send us a textPower 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.Check out Power Just's book "Life of a Rock Boy" on Amazon and stay tuned for his upcoming documentary.

Send us a textThe lines between loyalty and survival blur in this explosive, unfiltered conversation as a former street figure calls in to address accusations of snitching. What unfolds is a rare glimpse into the raw reality of street politics, federal cases, and the complex decisions people make when facing decades behind bars."I know what I did. I broke the street values," P Nut admits candidly, as he describes facing a potential 45-year sentence for crimes he claims he didn't commit. Rather than deny his cooperation, he offers a nuanced perspective on why he chose to implicate five people while maintaining he never "set anyone up" – a distinction he views as crucial to his continued self-respect.The conversation heats up as both we debate the unspoken rules of the streets versus the pragmatic choices made in interrogation rooms. "When ten niggas go do a crime, you think five of them niggas ain't gonna tell to get home?" challenges the caller, stripping away romantic notions of universal street loyalty. Through references to specific incidents, shared acquaintances, and Staten Island history, we witness how deeply intertwined these communities are, where reputation follows you everywhere.Most revealing is P Nut's philosophy on his life since cooperating: "I realized I can be a man and stand on my own by myself." Despite breaking the code, he's found a way to move forward independently, acquiring property and maintaining his own version of respect. This conversation forces us to question our assumptions about loyalty, survival, and what happens when street codes collide with the reality of America's criminal justice system.Support the showFollow our IG & Twitter for live updates @LFTGRadio

Send us a textFresh out of federal prison after a 16-year bid, Power Just delivers a raw, unfiltered account of Staten Island street politics that's bound to send shockwaves through the borough. With the intensity of someone who's navigated the most dangerous penitentiaries in America, Power doesn't hold back as he distinguishes between "certified" street figures and those he calls "rodents" who cooperated with authorities.Having just returned from Beaumont Penitentiary in Texas—known as one of the most treacherous facilities in the federal system—Power brings a perspective forged through decades of street life and hard time. He meticulously details how prison separates the predators from the prey, revealing how many who projected tough images on Staten Island's streets couldn't maintain that persona when incarcerated. "A lot of these niggas was predators on the street. Them niggas was softening funeral music in the can," he observes with the conviction of someone who's seen it all.Throughout this explosive conversation, Power challenges the current narrative surrounding Staten Island's street history, criticizing documentaries and social media portrayals for failing to acknowledge key figures who shaped the borough's criminal landscape. He calls out specific individuals by name, providing context about who testified in which trials and expressing disappointment in former associates who "killed their legacy" by cooperating. For younger listeners unfamiliar with the old code, Power's testimony serves as both history lesson and warning about embracing figures without understanding their past actions.Power Just's return to the streets signals a new chapter in Staten Island's ongoing story. Whether you're familiar with the neighborhoods and names he mentions or simply fascinated by authentic street perspective, this interview provides rare insight into a world where reputation and loyalty still carry tremendous weight.
