FBI Agent Phil Carson has held onto a secret for fifteen years, which will prove for the final time that there was a cover-up of the murder of Hip-Hop Superstar The Notorious B.I.G. by officials at the LAPD.
Agent Carson is talking, and journalist Don Sikorski has the FBI Files to prove it.
This ground-breaking podcast spans 20 years inside the underbelly of crime in the dark forces of the LAPD that used power and influence to hide the evidence and facts.
LAPD Officers orchestrated the murder of Biggie Smalls.
The information contained inside The Dossier will shake the foundation of the LAPD and the City of Los Angeles, defining with evidence who shot and killed Biggie, but more importantly why the power players inside Los Angeles covered it up.

Join hosts Nicole Luciano and Johnny ‘The Greek’ Anagnopoulos, two of the producers of The Dossier, as they break down all things crime and hip-hop, gleaned from their years of investigative work on the topic.
From the Biggie and Tupac murders, to the twenty plus killings that are tangentially related to Death Row Records, Suge Knight, the Bloods, the East vs. West rivalry, the gangster cops inside the LAPD and much more.
This week Niki and Johnny welcome special guest RJ Bond to Collateral Damage!
RJ helps our hosts dissect the murder of Bobby Finch in Compton just days after the shooting of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas.
Speaking of the shooting in Vegas, RJ gives us his thoughts on the 1996 Compton PD Search Warrant and the '10 days of Hell' that allegedly followed Tupac's murder.
Finally, they break down another infamous shooting from 1997 - the attempted murder of Long Beach PD officer Brian Watt with a weapon that had a suspicious background.
**Episode note - in a true life case of the dog eating our homework, Nicole's puppy decided to take a bite out of her computer in the middle of recording this week's episode! Johnny and RJ soldiered on through the last segment, but our co-host with the most will be back in all her glory next week!!

HIP HOP VS. THE COPS EP. 8: WHAT'S REALLY CHANGED?
In this final episode of this audio series, I needed to come full circle with an idea that I started twenty years ago as a young man, my instincts to uncover a battleground between Hip-Hop music and law enforcement was way ahead of the curve, and at that time with the completion of my documentary film Rap Sheet, I thought I had some answers, and clarity on what I set out to accomplish.
In hindsight, when I look at the landscape between our criminal justice system today, and the many cases of murder, or crime tied to the music of Hip-Hop, I wonder if in those twenty years if nothing has changed, maybe it has gotten worse. There is something bittersweet about that analysis because that would mean within our society, the leaders we have, the intellectuals, and more importantly law enforcement just can’t seem to evolve in anyway.
2020 brought what many thought was a monumental cultural shift, or awakening for us, but three years removed the prison industrial complex, the corrupt prosecutors, and the so-called system just seems to labor on, with no concrete and lasting change, I could make a case it is getting worse.

BAD BOY 4 LIFE EP. 3: THE GAME IS THE GAME
As the news cycle churns, and people search for more answers around the HSI investigation of Puff, this last week an excellent article dropped in New York Magazine by acclaimed journalist Craig Jenkins, someone I admire, and a damn good writer.
The New York Magazine article stood out for various reasons, because as of now with no breaking news, Jenkins as the author took a more , “think piece” approach to it, and was immensely analytical and thoughtful in a way that I have not read anywhere else, but I also wanted to dig into his point of view just a bit, as I know he has the right instincts and chops to elevate the reporting.

HIP HOP VS. THE COPS EP. 7: SCOTT LA ROCK TO TYRE NICHOLS
91 MURDERS in Hip-Hop, that is the current number of Hip-Hop artists who have been killed since 1987 when Scott La Rock was killed in the Bronx, and TakeOff was tragically taken from the world in 2022.
91 Murders, wherein close to 50 of those murders remained unsolved by the police.
Some are long running investigations and some of these cases have taken on mythical status where the narrative of who murdered who is now lost down a rabbit hole of Internet conspiracy theories, YouTube misinformation videos, and social media sleuths who spread speculation, and b******t theories.
The funny thing about the Hip-Hop Police is that they have done absolutely nothing as it relates to crime, or murder, they have just existed for sexy storylines.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast and can’t wait for the 2nd series
Really would recommend giving it a listen if are intrigued in the slightest about Biggie’s death.
Really enjoyed this
It took me a while to find time to listen to this but once I started I could not stop. I’m surprised something like Netflix has not picked this up. Loads I didn’t know about the shooting and it’s told really well. I hope there is a season 2.
The time is now
