Dope Readz: Crack, Rap & Murder by Seth Ferranti 

“We were all friends [Chiles, Porter, and Martinez]. Preceding him killing Rich we were all cool on the street. We hung out. We got money. The fact that he told on anyone is not okay for me, and there is nothing to discuss, but even if he didn’t tell, we still wouldn’t be good because he killed Rich. I’m not cool with how that went. –Kevin Chiles, CEO – Don Diva Magazine
This week’s Dope Readz comes courtesy of prison inmate-turned-acclaimed street legend author Seth Ferranti and tells the life story of Harlem hood legends Alpo Martinez & Rich Porter.

Tonesa ‘Toni’ Welch, aka The Black Mafia Family’s First Lady stopped by her hometown Detroit’s HOT 107.5  radio station and give an update on the current state of BMF as well as to shed some light as to what the most known black drug organization of the new millennium she calls “family” was really about.

She says the Flenory brothers never hesitated to give back to those in the need. Upon her release, she started the Sylent Heart Foundation as a means to help children and families of incarcerated parents, something that she and her children experienced while she served time behind bars for her own ‘BMF’ indictment:

“I don’t care who needed help, we helped them and that’s why me being incarcerated myself and coming home, I wanted to carry that on”

She also discusses the now global BMF clothing line which was trademarked by her youngest son and is being worn by big name celebrities such as R&B singer Tank and Jermaine Dupri, whom she considers a longtime family friend.
