Balli So that is an insane title. The UK is not a real space like like what? All right Tell me a bit about where you're born Adam and what your child was like. So yeah, I was born in Uganda Came here at the age of seven because of how my mom was when I was a kid. My mom was very strict And she wasn't very nurturing so growing up as a kid Emotions won't really a thing that was you know Engraved in me, you know, my mom was very she was very professional. She was a professional woman as in a sense of Business-minded she provided, you know, but as far as the whole You know Mother and son or mother and daughter type of aspect. It wasn't really There wasn't really a connection. So I came here to the UK to live with my dad This was in Canningtown East London in Newham to be honest with you All I knew was just school and just home. My school was literally two minute walk from the house that I lived in As I started progressing Through school, you get you know, you get to see older boys in in the schools and outside schools and what people do outside schools You know We took a lot of influence from the older boys growing up, you know The smoke weed and sell drugs and you see these things happening because you're not from a privileged Background you start growing a mentality or a mind frame thinking that This is a good way to earn a living or to make money I haven't told anyone this but the first time I ever got into that smoking weed because it all just started off by smoking weed while I was still in school Someone dropped a weed bag that I knew even I used to hang around with him and I wasn't smoking at the time I've seen the older boys roll up the weed and went back home, you know trial rolling it up I didn't know what the hell was doing smoked it and then I'm not gonna lie The walls started like moving and stuff like that and I was like whoa, you know, this is insane What is this feeling? I never since after that, you know Started buying a bit of weed just to try and imitate older boys then, you know, you got to fund your habit Okay, that's crazy. Why that first little bit of THC or do you dirty won't it? Why don't like smoking? Y'all think I be smoking. I do not I'm telling you I'm so serious I don't think it's fun. He meant to school with some weed. I think I must have been in year 10 at the time and I Sold some weed to some kids in school In the process of selling weed to these kids I don't know a two or two boys come up to me They had some pocket money together or lunch money that they had collected and I gave them weed I must give him 10 pounds worth of weed. They went to the back of the music block in school You know and smoked it one of them had either an epileptic fit some type of fit and other friend panicked Run run around the spot. Yeah, I can already tell they got you jammed up because they instantly told where they got it I'm the playground looking for a teacher Obviously the police gets called in because the ambulance has to come the ambulance asks what's wrong with the kid? You know how to say He's inhaled some weed but he said he's going from a student in year 10 in the process of panicking. I asked In the classroom, who's gonna help me who can hide hold on to this bag because I knew that the bag had what the Drugs in it. No one wanted to help me Why would you think the classmates is gonna help you but it was one boy that used to wedgie regularly He stepped up and he said I'll help you Adam So I felt guilty. I've seen this dude before we've seen him before didn't we? Why I've been doing the things that been into this boy and now I'm in trouble and he's stepping up to help me He spun the block on you such you a bogus. I remember you telling the story The police have come with the teacher they drew me out of the classroom They've asked me do you have a bag? You know, we've had reports that there's you know, you've run drugs into school and I Denied having a bag while I was in this room As I'm in there being asked where the drugs are I saw my bag being passed over and it was the same way that I had been wedging in school the whole time Also got kicked out of school. I found out that this boy was a police cadet. That was the first time I ended up in the police Police cadet ran a sting on you in high school after you know wedgie his life away That I ain't gonna lie. That's the ultimate get back. See this Why you don't bully people in school because you never know when they're gonna spin on you They could wait a whole life time. You can see them. They could be your parole officer later. I'm like, they could you never know It's a rough day for you So Yeah, that was the first time I was in the police cell and I had no idea You know if I'm gonna be going back to school, but I knew this is it for me You know, my mom was called everything, you know I kind of feel sorry for my mother now because she had no idea that I Was doing those things in school I never went back to school the permanently excluded me. How old were you when you got expelled? I was 15 I was 15 years old. It's crazy because he was almost done. I had one. I got I got expelled my senior year But they had an alternative school I can go to so I finished and got my Uh, whatever it's called I don't even know Forgot. What's it called when you diploma But that was the beginning of my life spiraling spiraling out of control After getting kicked out of school I ended up going to a school where all kids I get kicked out of school goals. It's like a community center alternative school and from there I um Obviously got as much GCSEs as I can applied for a college But at the same time I was in college. I was still drug dealing. I was selling coke cocaine um and weed How much money were you making in a kind of typical week? Probably 2000 pound Drug dealing and guns go hand-in-hand In that there's a lot of young boys, you know, you all get into fights and stuff like that Maybe back in the day they went hand-in-hand more of more than now like if you're a running the meal like Trap boy Like and you just go into the clubs or you just go into the bars and you don't really you know what I'm saying You stand under the radar So drug free is the way to be though, man. Don't don't involve yourself in this life. I don't kid don't any of this I'm just saying I saved up. I bought a shotgun for 500 pound It was a son of shotgun We've selling drugs people get robbed Uh, and I just had it just in case I needed I needed to you know, I wasn't ready to use it. I don't know why I bought it but just in case He was ready Got ready. So you didn't have to get ready. You know, stay ready. So you don't got to get ready. I had it stored in my wardrobe My mom going through my things as a mother normally does with a son she found the shotgun and she The first thing that came to us throw it in the bin So she threw the shotgun in the bin My sister told came came to me a couple days later and said to me Hey, you know, mom found your gun and I couldn't confront her about it. She never confronted me about it Fast forward still in college, but now I'm 17 I saved up enough money. Remember this was 3000 pound I bought a Really powerful handgun, which was a a four four snub nose like a three inch barrel Which was very easy to hide I consistently used to keep it in a sock Just in case I needed to fire it Well, little Wayne saying four four bulldog my mom impact Point it at you and tell that mark a fetch my bad I'll never need to put my gloves on right. I'll just reach my pockets and just press the trigger And fire the gun. I got very complacent Kept it keeping it in my bedroom. My mom yet again went from her stuff again front the uh handgun Or cannon because it was like a cannon Right that my mom, uh, took she took it This time I had to confront her So I went for her I said mom Because she never said anything I said mom you found something in my room She said yes I said to her um I'm gonna need that back She said choose The house or the gun And I chose the gun. She asked me to leave the house. Hey, listen Sometimes when you living like that, I guess yeah The protection is crazy if he felt like he really needed it at that time Point in time like I'm almost positive. He could have you know with the income you had he could figure it out some other way And that's when I left the household at the age of 17 And then you ended up with a bounty on your head. How did that happen when I was 17 that same year I left the house This young boy came to me and he said he had been beaten up by a group of boys You know, even though I'm from an area that's in had gangs me personally um had a Group of friends three four friends because he came to us We saw it as a obligation to go and help him So we went and found the boys that had attacked him. We set up on the boys But the little boy that came to me at my house Um the younger boy He had had a knife on him. He never told none of us. He had a knife on him In a process of beating these boys up He produced a knife and stabbed one of the boys And one of the boys that he had stabbed his older brother was like the guy at the time That was like the top This is what I'm saying man. Minding your business goes a long way. I know he did. He had a big heart He was trying to do the right thing, but bro Drug you into a situation that was none of your business You having a big heart and one of the defend the week you went over there defended him. He had a thought he had that That you know a bladed article on him didn't let nobody else put y'all in a predicament Where a bounty was placed on your head like see mind your business That's all I be saying ever mind your business guy. That was you know Supplying drugs and stuff like that in the area. I'm the only one whose face they had clocked So a hundred thousand pound went out and they put a hundred thousand pound on my head See you mess with the Shane and sell his little brother like now what tough And they said dead or alive They printed my pictures off of my space and distributed it to all the boys in the area in the borough And they said this guy as soon as you see him give us a call One time I'm going to go and pick up drugs You know to break down and sell Um, I guess I get circled by the same group of boys that we had set up on cars had pulled up More bags had pulled up Boys I've never seen before much older So they set up on me Beat me with back helmets back locks. I was knocked out unconscious and what I was unconscious I got stabbed in my abdomen with a As far as I'm aware, it was like a samurai little handsome. All right. That was soaked into my stomach while I was unconscious I wasn't aware what was happening. So when I woke up two weeks had gone by I woke up with Tube in my throat He probably woke up and thought it was this the same day and um things that help you We and stuff like that in your private area catheter And I had staples all across my stomach where I had been stabbed zipper Because the doctors had to open me up to try and look and see if you know Stitch up where the damage had been done so All for you trying to defend this kid Yo, you're a good deed now. I'm I'm I will say that was a good deed But you know how the saying goes no good deed goes unbonished For your good deed you got a thousand dollar bounty on your top That resulted in a zipper Up your abdomen A catheter And probably a colophony bag because you were asleep. They had to put that on you And that's when instead of Straightening out my path. I strayed even deeper into Into This is one of those moments I always be telling y'all this There's moments in life man when you from certain areas that can turn up your savage Even if you're not from these areas Like there's moments of life that can turn your savage up or you could just fully like Turn your life around, you know what I'm saying or just do the right thing And this sound like you turned this savage to the game Can you tell us about what led to your first time in prison? I built up a line so a line It's like a phone that you can ring When you need drugs in the locality that had grown up, which was canning town Despite the fact that I had moved out my mom's house That's where I started. That's where my line started. So I'd always be around the area I'm in my mom's house while I'm asleep half asleep. I hear a helicopter above my room jump out of my boxes Crapping myself. I'm thinking what's happening Run downstairs. I don't know what I was running to but I don't know I was just running to find out what's going on As I get to the bottom of the stairs my door flies off Nice armed police shields. I can't see faces, but I've got about six seven dots on my chest So they're screaming different orders. Get on the floor hands behind your back. Don't look at us. Look the other way I don't know what they want me to do first. So I get on my knees. I put my hands behind my back You know and then tell them to stand up come backwards with your hands behind your back They arrested me. They searched the house For a gun right I'm I'm 100 you have it in there percent convinced some guy in prison I had had had the gun and the coke and the weed Plotted in the same area. So the search Uh you was moving mad that's First of all your mom's already. I kicked you out for Firearm and her crib you came back Because your line was set up out there. So it was convenient And put it at risk the crib again Had everything in one spot The house and it didn't find it Where I had hidden the drugs and the gun were in between the neighbors and my offense Even if they did find it, you know, they're gonna have to prove that it's mine because now it's in a dodgy place Son of border They didn't find it They released me So I'll go back inside my house Wait wait for some time to go by So I didn't want to go into my back garden start ramaging and then the helicopter just pops out of nowhere, right with the light Cool, but so I didn't want to do that. So I waited for a little while You know, never find anything I proceeded like it's normal the police come again This time they've used the scaffolding which was on the fourth floor Armed police has come around the scaffolding And they've tried to force entry through the front of the door I had the shotgun by the windowsill right So The door goes flying, you know You know, it's no place. I'm thinking oh crap these guys again, right First thing that I do is I grab my shotgun by the windowsill Open the back door without looking up through the shotgun out And they hit one of the armed officers that were on the scaffolding and he fell off the scaffolding And then they jumped onto the balcony and proceeded to arrest me and that was the first time I went to prison How long did she go to prison? Bro, where did we hear this story from? What was we watching that we heard this? Done a lot. I've heard his story before though. They gave me three years to 18 months You know, you'd think anyone would learn from that, but You know 18 months later I came out 18 months three years you just went to criminal college Now you got more info now you got better ways to do whatever you was trying to do And that's when I got involved in serious crime See while I was in prison I went from drug dealing and I took the trade or the Work of a armed robber on but My type of work never involved commercial businesses I would always target people involved in the same Um circle like so you start hitting licks So who's who they gonna these people can't tell on you because you're hitting licks Hitting lick is where you rob robbers and thieves and They can't tell on you In the same type of work I Rather cash So I've done a few politicians. They had cash and this has come from a friend of theirs How do you rob a politician? Um, it's all to do with mind frame See me in my mind As long as I convince myself the first thing is to convince myself that I'm not doing anything wrong See I never heard whatever is in that property already belongs to me And then I plan On a smooth entry You know, I would prefer to wait outside Until you come back home And just as you put your key in I slide it in with you with again with a gun in your ribs But by then I'd already know what time your wife comes back from work What time your kids finish school And I already know that it's just us two because I've been studying Your movements for the past couple weeks I watch you at work. You finish work, you know, um, I know what time it Bro, it's peak. That is peak It was a real seasoned veteran You get back from work. I know what route you take to work what route you can when you come back from work I know what you know, how many dogs you've got inside the house You know, I know you got two kids three kids what school they go what time they finish the first thing that You know would come to my Head, you know, am I going to be able to control that situation i.e. weapon of choice My briefcase was a shotgun, right? I entered the room I'm controlling that situation What was the most money that you made From one armed robbery the most that we made from one cash Was near enough to quarter of a million to 300,000 But that was at a young age in drugs. We've took more in drugs How much in drugs Hundreds of thousands of in drugs You know, and how many armed robberies did you I'm not gonna lie if i'm gonna be honest I don't know. Yeah, you can't count. I don't know but I wouldn't I didn't have the name ghost for no reason I'm the type of guy that would always operate in the darkest corner Of your street, you know, and I was just part of nowhere Oh, this is ghost I just watched a documentary last night. It's called bang bang in the manner And y'all they were saying oh, that's ghost for sure. That's ghost for sure talking that ghost Y'all won't y'all won't see that for a minute because you know Let's see So this is who y'all was talking about, okay Let's do it a situation allegedly Waition and leave immediately how dangerous was that lifestyle? I how I set up my life. You can only see me through um appointment I was consistent You know, and like I've said to you my circle of friends was two or three or four at most But not even they'll know where I'll be So my whole movements would be um Randomized sequences not even I liked to know what I was doing at the time so much so that Wherever I go, I used to like control like to control where I'm going And I I used to like to collect as much information about where I'm going and who's gonna be there And who's gonna be you know, other than that I never used to venture outside my area Unless it was business, you know, but business Will be anywhere, you know in the uk And then there was a robbery that went wrong. How did you end up getting arrested again? I got to a stage where I didn't do robberies anymore now. I'm the you know, I'm the The person that sets him up the person that has stolen cars the person that has the guns The person that gets the calls for the robberies Because I was successful. I used to pull out the people on robberies Who's the top boss of robberies? He was the middleman. He was the uh, what's that called? When trucker when trucker is called that he was the logistics person One day I get a call but the owner You know for my guy He's dating this girl and her brother. He's moving drugs selling drugs and this goes drugs inside the house they've had arguments about The drugs in the house So the sister and the brother get into a fight My sister rings her boyfriend to tell boyfriend about it. The boyfriend knows me The boyfriend tells me Gives me the address When I get the address um, I ring some boys And uh, give them an opportunity to make some money When I pick up the boys the boys are a bit drunk and um I proceed to take them something told me don't take them but I agreed I took the boys to this house I love the table room. He was on the table room We heard some of this but we ain't hear all of this. I didn't hear the politician part like I'm right side of the house. I pointed out the door those two red doors back to back I should have knew better because they were tipsy I let them get out the car. I gave him the gun To go in there and retrieve the drugs. I'm just down the road watching I was from to me look like it was a right house, but it was the wrong house They come back inside the house. Don't confuse. So there's no drugs in there You know, there's a family in there. What the hell? I got a phone call From a vietnamese guy that I used to deal with he used to do that drugs grow drugs He was in southeast london He's telling me I'm in a house in southeast london I just dropped off 30 000 pound The woman's got the money machine out. She's counting All the money there's 80 000 pound in house right now This is the address So upon receiving this It's back door back door back door That's why you can't trust everybody. There's no honor. There's no honor among steves Um, I told these boys, you know what don't worry about that. We're getting somewhere else right now I was prolific like that. There'll be certain days I'll do two robberies three robberies or a shoot bro. Just call himself prolific You pass a robbery or two shootings plus two robberies. I'm consistently at it So we're driving I remember I got to a place called the lime house. So when I've done this dodgy U-turn near lime house I bumped into city police Who normally carry firearms on tases and stuff like that. So they started following me They followed me into through robber hive tunnel Um into into southeast london, right? This is near bermanzy So we've caught through we're heading towards um We're heading towards Uh london bridge. Did you clock them in the moment or is you just thinking in retrospect right now? Like this is how it happened, but I didn't know the cars crashed Right The cars crashed. I think now you knew ended up guy We ended up jumping out of the car. I've told the boys do not follow me Everyone split up go their own separate ways one guy was in the car He's job was to take the gun He left the gun behind because he panicked We've all run Now these two boys are following me even though I meant to be the partner on separate ways I've led them to the pier So when we got to the pier, I can't swim. None of them come soon We can hear the police from running towards the pier Oh police stop. They got the tasers out and everything. So from there I got put in prison And I didn't come out until 10 years later. That was 20 What was the point that you decided to turn your life around? So I spent five months in segregation You know, I wasn't allowed to mix with other people In that precise moment I have five months no radio no tv I had two magazines that I was reading over and over and over and over and over It's granhog's day every day You know, your mom dies. You're in prison You know, your girlfriend that you was with at the times moved on got married moved abroad Your friends that you was with at the time have moved on No one comes to see you your grandmother's passed away Everything that you know your whole words come to a grinding halt And no one exists in that world that the new and the streets don't remember you Your business partners don't remember you because you've been replaced And you're just stuck in that place in a dark place And there is no getting out of it. I'm not trying to glamorize violence But like I've said, I've got an extreme personality when I was in it I was in it, you know, now I'm trying to be good. I'm in that and I'm pushing positive energy First you got to forgive yourself To move forward and you go, you know, give out apologies and I'm talking about meaning for apologies to people So I've done some of that while I was in prison. It's called restorative justice Where you get the police You know probation to try and reach out to the police To try and give the victims a chance to come in in a controlled environment And explain because some people want to know why did you do that to me? Who are you? What happened, you know? I need to know why and do we have a situation when you get out Because I don't want people still living their lives through fear thinking, oh my gosh, this maniacs it out You know My life's in danger. So before I even get out, I've got to try and straighten those Um issues out, you know, and what's your life like now? Everything's a blessing that I'm here Even I've gone for some but that's because I've done to people, you know, they gotta say and you do bad bad follows I'm here. I'm still alive Now I've got to use this opportunity to shine light on the dangers of having the wrong company And where that can lead to I'll end up getting married, you know And I work with use Trying to get them into employment You know, I do some work in the university via teaching Right, so that's good when people do you come out of prison? I help them get the level twos the level freeze find work Um, I try to change your lives around because I know how it's like coming out with nothing I'm not gonna lie, man. The eyes tell it all man That man didn't seen or couldn't seen a lot or did a lot. I can see it So I tried to give back Any way that I can To try and rectify the errors that I've made in my life It's a fresh start for me Congratulations to my boy, man. TLL even like comment subscribe. Let me know what you think. I'm gone
