Project Genius: The Story of 03 Greedo
We sit down with one of rap's most promising talents, 03 Greedo, who's meteoric rise was cut short due to drug trafficking charges. In an exclusive interview just a week before serving his 20 year sentence, Greedo discusses his bittersweet story for the first time, touching on fame, success, temptation, the prison industrial complex, and most pertinently the tense relationship between the LAPD and the black community in south LA that goes back decades.

@@moneymantwin1267 I ain't saying it's easy but you cant say that's its impossible when there has to be a number of people who have made something of themselves when they came from those places. Like I said I'm not from a hood or anything so at the end of the day it doesnt affect me. It's up to yourself and people living in those places to make something of it. Or you can resign to the idea of growing up with a shittier stack of cards and stay in that situation. If your looking to only try when the playing fields are even than thats never gonna happen because that doesnt even happen for individual people. Theres always gonna be someone who came from a better family in a nicer neighborhood but I'd be damn if i dont atleast try and get that shit for myself.
