EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH TEEJAY.

Well, the stage name "Teejay" doesn't ring bells in the Nigerian industry but the stage name is about to go international. we here had the opportunity to meet up with Teejay a member of the Juvi Elite Team, this is what he had to say.

Simeon: can we meet you? what's your real name?

Teejay: I go by the name John Taiwo Adeniyi.

Good, how old are you?

Teejay: I'm 15 years old.

How long have you been doing music?

Teejay: Well, actually i've been doing music since i entered secondary school and then i found a team called JET i got signed in, That would be 6 years now.

What's the full meaning of JET and what is the whole story behind it?

Teejay: JUVI ELITE TEAM, JET started with three boys, me, John tedy and Eman shoutout to them because they were the people that actually formed the group then i changed school and also signed the newest member shoutout to him, he is one of the best and unique guy i have ever seen. JET are also working on a project called "GODBLESSJAHMUSIC"

Amazing ! how has the music journey been?

Teejay: Well to be honest i never thought i wanted to do music, i was just doing it for fun until i met a producer TOP 2 who made me understand music and like it he also made one love and when that dropped i never got a bad comment from that song because i knew music is not all about doing it for twitter babes, most of these artistes we see here they don't really move me because i don't think Hip-Hop is going anywhere in Nigeria that is why the only Upcoming artiste that has passed through this twitter stuff is the Akpancha master himself JI and i hope to work with him someday because gbedu plus gbedu equals to JAM!  so not that you want a babe to feel you, you do music because you love it, i do listen to people's music on twitter but i don't find it that good because to be honest the era of Hip-Hop in Nigeria has passed.

THE VIOLENCE IN CHICAGO (CHIRAQ) PART 1

My own personal write up about Chid.d like to start off saying i'm a Nigerian and i have never been to chicago but funny enough i have so much interest in everything that goes on there. Literally i have been on this chicago research for 6 years.

GANG

Chicago's first gangs developed along ethnic lines out of the volunteer fire departments during the antebellum period. With names like “Fire Kings,” these outfits of young, often single working-class men competed against one another in departmental reviews, brawled in the streets, and conducted social events. “Running with the machine” was celebrated in the dime novels of the day as part of the culture of manly bravado. When the professionalization of firefighting departments forced volunteer companies to disband, the locus of gang life shifted into saloons, where “political fixers” harnessed the energies of these men. By the 1880s a thriving gang scene developed in Bridgeport and Back of the Yards on the South Side. Several large Irish gangs, such as the Dukies and the Shielders, exerted a powerful influence on the street life around the stockyards, raiding peddlers, robbing men leaving work, fighting among themselves, and terrorizing the German, Jewish, and Polish immigrants who settled there from the 1870s to the 1890s. These gangs fought constantly among themselves, but they united as the “Mickies” to battle black gangs to the east. During this period, gangs became entrenched in the patronage networks of ward machines. In Irish communities, the sponsorship of gangs by politicians and businessmen transformed them into “athletic clubs” like the Hamburg Club, Ragen's Colts, and the Old Rose Athletic Club. Based in saloons and clubhouses, and often claiming the membership of over a hundred men ranging from their late teens to early thirties, these clubs ensured the elections of their patrons by stuffing ballot boxes and intimidating voters.
By the early twentieth century, Polish and Italian gangs were the most numerous in Chicago. Polish gangs located in the “Pojay” colony on the Northwest Side battled rival Polish groups across the river in the Bucktown area and southward, where a different Polish gang occupied every block of Milwaukee Avenue down to the industrial area along the Chicago River. These gangs also engaged in territorial skirmishes with Italian gangs of the “Little Sicily” neighborhood to their south. Usually identifying themselves by streets that served as hangouts, several of these Italian gangs reportedly had connections with “Black Hand” syndicates.

St. Valentine's Day Massacre, 1929
The involvement of Ragen's Colts in the race riot of 1919 established a pattern of white ethnic gang behavior that would affect the course of race relations in Chicago through the 1950s. Organized by Democratic alderman Frank Ragen of Canaryville, this gang attacked African Americans residing in a nearby Black Belt neighborhood after African American votes had helped lift Republican “Big Bill” Thompson to victory in the municipal elections. Taking names like the Shielders and the Boundary Gang, white gangs patrolled the “color line” through the 1930s. These activities intensified with the accelerated migration of black southerners during World War II, prompting the Mayor's Commission on Human Relations in 1946 to establish a Juvenile Bureau to investigate the role of youth groups in anti-black violence. Partly as a defense against racial violence, which by the 1950s reached Chicago's Latino communities, African American, Puerto Rican, and Mexican gangs proliferated in the late 1950s. By the mid-1960s, several gang niches had developed throughout the city: black gangs like the Blackstone Rangers and Vice Lords pervaded the South and West Sides, respectively; Puerto Rican gangs such as the Latin Kings dominated the Humboldt Park area on the Northwest Side; and Mexican gangs like the Latin Counts filled the Pilsen area around 18th Street. Gang violence occurred both within and across racial and ethnic lines throughout this period, with recruitment drives accounting for many homicides.
The public image of gangs improved in the late 1960s, when some of the more powerful black and Puerto Rican gangs joined forces with political groups and community development organizations. In the black communities of Woodlawn and North Lawndale, the Blackstone Ranger Nation and the Conservative Vice Lords procured government and private grants to conduct job training and community improvement programs. The use of descriptors like “nation” and “conservative” represents the influence of the Black Power movement on these gangs. Despite significant accomplishments, these projects were discontinued amidst charges of fraud brought to national attention by Senator John McClellan's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. While gang leaders and community activists countered with allegations of harassment by the Gang Intelligence Unit of the Chicago Police Department and pointed to a reduction in gang fighting during the tenure of the program, such claims lost credibility in the early 1970s, when many gangs became involved in drug trafficking and violent recruitment efforts. African American gangs have been sporadically involved in ward-level politics since this time, but the political thrust of the late 1960s seems distant in the context of the gang violence of the 1990s.
Although existing gangs have become entrenched as membership has extended across generations, the geography of Chicago gangs was changing by the end of the twentieth century. Asian youth gangs, many of whose members arrived in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s, have joined the spectrum of street gangs in Chicago. Gangs also have moved into surrounding suburbs and even extended their reach across the Midwest. In the 1990s, Chicago gang members traveled as far afield as North Dakota in order to sell drugs, often in partnership with their Chicago rivals. At the same time, Chicago gangs began to move into cyberspace by developing their own Web sites, some of which included secret chat rooms.
Chicago's gangs have also broadened their appeal by crossing gender lines. The Chicago Crime Commission estimated that females accounted for as many as 20,000 of the 100,000 gang members in the city at the turn of the century. In the past, girls and young women often occupied, or appeared to occupy, somewhat subservient roles within gangs. A study conducted in the late 1990s revealed, however, that increasing numbers of females were becoming full-fledged gang members and increasingly participating in gang-related violence.

well, one of the most inflencial gangs in chicago is the BLACK DISCIPLES these guys are known to be the

gang with the highest murder rates in chicago. the gang is known to engage in drug trafficking, theft, robbery , gun, murder etc.The Black Disciples are part of the alliance of street gangs but are known to engage in violence with other Folk Nation gangs such as the Gangster Disciples. The BDs also have a long standing rivalry with the Vice Lords, Black Souls & the Almighty Black P. Stone Nation . They have poor relations with other Folk Nation Gangs. Since they follow the original doctrine of David Barksdale they consider themselves the only true Disciples, as all other gangs have created their own literature and strayed from the original teachings. Love, life, loyalty, wisdom, knowledge and understanding is the blueprint for the Black Disciple organization. The majority of the present conflicts they have with other gangs involove drugs and territory as they are known to be more attracted to the money making aspect of organized crime.


Well, it happens to be that the rapper i adore so much which is CHIEF KEEF is a respected member of the 300 Black disciple gang, chief keef who grew up in a violent neighbourhood with his mama and grandmum is know to be a pioneer of the modern day chicago violence , chief keef was born August 15, 1995 (19 years) he grew up on the 0600 block down town illinois chicago, USA which is often refered to in his songs which is "O'BLOCK" more like a short form at the age of 12 keef had started selling drugs in front of his grandma's house which he even said in a song titled "FUCK REHAB" featuring his older cousin "Big glo" who eventually was shot 10 times. well above all keef and his other older cousin "Fredo santana" are known for their gang violence and strong violent lyrics in their songs.
