I don't know. People who say I was going to die tomorrow. I used to wake up every morning

and I used to say, well, they said today's my last day. So as today is my last day, I'm going to be the baddest mother-pawks ever seen today.

35 minutes later, the car was on fire. And that's the day I said, yeah. I had a weapon within two hours. And that's the day. I said,

yeah. No one would ever violate like this again. We got into the drug game at that point. And

yeah, at that point, I'll shoot you anyway. I don't care where you are. My plan was as to

take over the streets. Now, it's

the gunman area. Last month, my team and I made a journey back across the pond to England to interview

Carlon Robinson, one of the most notorious drug traffickers from the south end of London. Carlon is the

son of Jamaican drug kingpins who introduced crack cocaine to London back in the

1980s. His story could come out of a place like Baltimore or Harlem or South Central L.A. Except somehow,

being British makes it even more gangster. At his height, Carlon operated one of the most successful

criminal enterprises in London's history, importing and selling thousands of

kilos of cocaine, running a professional safe cracking and burglary ring, and doing debt collection

and armed security for his fellow British drug lords. His Odyssey takes a page out of the

Netflix show Top Boy. Carlon also has an insane journey throughout the British prison system, where he survived

assassination attempts, murder charges, and the rest of his life behind bars. After finally getting

paroled after 20 years, Carlon turned his life around, and today is a successful television

writer and producer. Give him a follow on social media, and if you're in Europe, tap into the reality series

he created, which will be airing on British Network Television this year.

One of the baddest yardies to survive the cold streets of London.

This is a fascinating one.

Make sure to give us a thumbs up and show Carlin some love in the comments.
