In June of 2005, the Wallace Family Civil Trial was in court, the wheels of justice were spinning.

On a Friday afternoon Perry Sanders told the Court and the judge that he'd received a telephone call from someone claiming to be a former officer of the LAPD.

This person in the phone call provided detailed information about the existence of evidence concerning the Biggie murder.

The judge directed the Wallace family lawyers to provide to the City of LA,

all available information about this development and directed the City of LA to conduct a thorough investigation.

The trial was temporarily adjourned.

As a result of the search of Robbery-Homicide undisclosed evidence was discovered, much of which was in the desk or cabinet of Detective Steven Katz, the lead detective in the Biggie Murder investigation.

The documents centered around interviews by numerous police officers of Kenneth Boagni, who had been Rafael Perez’s cellmate for some extended period of time.

Kenneth Boagni re-joins Don Sikorski to discuss a number of topics related to ’The Forgotten Files’ in this week’s episode.

Join hosts Nicole Luciano and Johnny ‘The Greek’ Anagnopoulos, two of the producers of The Dossier, as they break down all things crime and hip-hop, gleaned from their years of investigative work on the topic.

From the Biggie and Tupac murders, to the twenty plus killings that are tangentially related to Death Row Records, Suge Knight, the Bloods, the East vs. West rivalry, the gangster cops inside the LAPD and much more.

In this inaugural episode of Collateral Damage, Niki and Johnny give listeners some background on their work and how they’ve gained some expertise on the topics that will be discussed on the podcast.

Then, they take a look at the murder of Kelly Jamerson during a Death Row Records party in 1995 and give their opinions on the actions of those involved.

Speaking of Death Row, they also have a spirited debate on Marion ‘Suge’ Knight – is he a victim, victimizer, or a bit of both?

THE DOSSIER - BAD BOY 4 LIFE EP. 5: THE UPSIDE-DOWN
play

05/29/24 • 16 min

In Stranger things, The Upside-Down is an alternate dimension existing in parallel to the human world. It contains the same locations and infrastructure as the human world, but it is much darker, colder and obscured by an omnipresent fog.

The Upside Down is devoid of human life, instead being overgrown with ropy, root-like tendrils and biological membranes covering practically every surface. At least one recognizable animal, a humanoid predator, was native to this dimension, while ash-like spores floated in the air.

To go into the mainstream media, social media and inner workings of the music business, the story of Sean Combs, is starting to descend into an upside-down dimension, the problem as I see it, is that in today’s ingestion of news or just fodder to throw around at a BBQ, this story not only has it all, but it also has pieces of it that at this point again is unraveling into a game of searching for meaning and truth, something to grasp onto that is close to reality it’s hard.

To wait for the Vanity Fairs, New York Magazine, the New Yorker or anyone at the NY TIMES to really dig into this is an exercise in futility as far as I can see it, the masses, they want fodder as fast as 50 Cent or Akademics can post, and they want more and more gluttonous hot takes into what exactly is going on, and what will happen next.

Was Diddy engaged in satanic rituals, or on Epstein’s Island, adopted a young white teenager, this stuff, is just getting Upside Down.

THE DOSSIER - HIP HOP VS THE COPS EP. 2: THE HUNT IS ON!
play

03/25/24 • 22 min

In Episode one, I talked about securing a weird dossier that was compiled by federal and state law enforcement to track Hip-Hop superstars, and their entourages, associates, and record labels. With the book in hand as a young journalist, I decided the best route to tell the story of the book was to actually make a documentary, but I had no experience, no money, and I didn’t know anyone inside the Hip-Hop industry, but fuck it I started anyway.

At that time in 2007 I was fascinated by what they called the Hip-Hop Police, and I was also fascinated with how much mystery was behind this unit.

In revisiting the film almost 17 years later in hindsight my quest, my search or curiosity was one part bold, two parts naïve, and somewhat dangerous, at that time Hip-Hop was just hitting the mainstream, so violence, gangsters, and a certain allure was all a part of the story I wanted to tell, but I need some help, I needed people who knew the industry, could get me interviews, or people who could talk....

So, I traveled down to Miami, where the annual Source Awards was going on, to this day why I went, and who I met, changed everything.
