As a member of the notorious Brooklyn street gang The Lo-Lifes from the 80's to the 90's, Shillz Da Realz has seen a whole lot in his lifetime. Listen as this Brownsville representative reminisces on the magic decade known as the 80's from a ghetto perspective. Shillz reflects on both the joys and the pains of this era, from being in the midst of a technological revolution which made households more efficient to growing up in the midst of a crack epidemic which destroyed households.
