going live. Okay, we're live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey.

On tonight show, I have a very special guest. Somebody I talked to last month on a different book.

Tonight we're going to talk about a book he published in 2013. The title of that book is Black

Caesar, The Rise and Disappearance of Frank Matthews, Kingpin by Ron Chepasuk. And I talked to Ron last month with Jesus Ruiz and Al, and the title of that book is

The Real Mr. Big, How a Colombian Refugee became the United Kingdom's Most Notorious Cocaine

Kingpin, and that was published April 2021.

The interview was June 16th.

But Mr. Chipposik is a very prolific author, and some of his books are the following.

Superfly, the true untold story of Frank Lucas, American Gangster.

Also, Drug Lords, the Rise and Fall of the Cali Cartel.

And Sergeant Smack, the legendary lives in times of Ike Atkinson, Kingpin, and his band of brothers.

Also, the Traffic counties,

godfathers from Tampa, Florida, the mafia, the CIA, and the JFK assassination. Also, Robin Hood of the

life in times of Teddy Row Policy King, and gangsters of Harlem, the gritty underworld of New York City's

most famous neighborhood. Mr. Chepasuk is also a two-time Fulbright scholar to Bangladesh and Indonesia

and a consultant to the History Channel's Gangland TV series.

He's also an executive producer of the popular radio show Crime Beat,

which can be found at WWW Artist First Forward Slash Crime Beat.

And Black Caesar was a 2013 USA Best Book Award winner in the true crime nonfiction category.

So I'm delighted to have Mr. Chippa Sick back.

Ron, are you there?

Yes, thank you.
