    Lawyer Moe Gangat on Lil Durk, Keefe D & D4vd Trials

    Attorney Mohammed Gangat joins VladTV to break down major developments in several high-profile hip-hop criminal cases, including the Lil Durk murder-for-hire trial, Keefe D's conviction, Tory Lanez, and the legal situation surrounding Pooh Shiesty. Gangat analyzes testimony from Vani K. Von Grant, who admitted involvement in multiple violent incidents while describing his relationship with Lil Durk and members of his circle. Prosecutors are using Grant's proximity to Durk—including allegedly working as his assistant and staying at his home—to help establish connections within the alleged murder-for-hire conspiracy. Mohammed and Vlad also examine the government's use of music videos, lyrics, podcasts, clothing, and other evidence to connect defendants to the case. The conversation then turns to Keefe D, whose jury returned a guilty verdict after approximately 90 minutes of deliberation. Gangat explains how prosecutors can build a successful case using circumstantial evidence and compares the strategy to other major trials. They also revisit Tory Lanez's conviction, analyzing how prosecutor questioning affected crucial eyewitness testimony, before discussing the complicated legal situation involving Pooh Shiesty and whether witnesses such as Gucci Mane could ultimately testify. Finally, Mohammed and Vlad debate one of the biggest decisions facing defendants in serious criminal trials: whether to testify in their own defense. With defendants potentially facing life without parole, Gangat explains the enormous risks of taking the stand and allowing prosecutors to cross-examine them.

    DJ Vlad & Elliott Wilson Interview Hit Boy

    Grammy-winning producer Hit-Boy sits down with Vlad and Elliott Wilson for an in-depth conversation about success, music industry politics, financial independence, and the lessons he's learned producing for some of hip-hop's biggest artists. Hit-Boy discusses the meaning behind his project Success Is a Dirty Word, explaining how achieving success can complicate relationships with friends and family. He opens up about investing significant money into his father's music career while dealing with the emotional and financial strain that came with trying to help someone close to him. The conversation explores Hit-Boy's creative evolution and his legendary run with Nas, which produced six albums and roughly 80 songs in just three years. He reflects on being permanently associated with massive records like "N****s in Paris" while explaining why his catalog extends far beyond the hits he's best known for, including R&B and other styles of production. Hit-Boy also gets candid about the business side of the music industry, detailing a restrictive production and publishing situation that limited his financial freedom despite producing diamond-level records. He discusses the difficulty of developing new artists compared to working with established stars like Kanye West and Jay-Z, as well as how streaming transformed the economics of the industry. Later, Vlad and Hit-Boy discuss building wealth outside of entertainment. Vlad explains his long-term investments in companies like Amazon, Google, and Tesla, while Hit-Boy reveals his interest in expanding into film and television scoring, where he believes the business can be cleaner than traditional music royalties. The conversation concludes with a discussion about wealth managers, investing, ownership, and why making money is only one part of achieving lasting financial independence.

    Brian Glaze Gibbs on Having 5 Bodies, Mike Tyson, Prince, Fat Cat, 50 Cent, Supreme

    Former Brooklyn drug kingpin and enforcer Brian “Glaze” Gibbs returns to VladTV to discuss his violent past, cooperation with the government, major hip-hop criminal cases, and the transformation that ultimately led him away from the streets. Gibbs reflects on his criminal history during the 1980s, openly discussing his involvement in five murders and being acquitted of a sixth. He breaks down his cooperation with federal authorities and his 5K1 letter, explaining how prosecutors from Brooklyn and Queens attempted to question him about additional unsolved murders. He also reflects on the death of his mother, which became a major turning point that forced him to confront the damage caused by his lifestyle. The conversation shifts to Keefe D’s Tupac murder trial, with Gibbs discussing Keefe D’s decision to reject a 10-to-25-year plea deal at 63 years old. While viewing him as an underdog, Gibbs believes Keefe D could ultimately become the person held responsible for one of hip-hop’s most infamous murders. Vlad and Gibbs also examine several other high-profile cases, including the murder-for-hire case involving Quando Rondo, the latest developments surrounding the murder of Jam Master Jay, and the convictions and pleas involving Ronald Washington, Karl Jordan Jr., and Jay Bryant. They also revisit the notorious kidnapping and murder of Rich Porter’s younger brother, discussing the extreme violence surrounding New York’s drug era. Gibbs concludes by explaining how he escaped the criminal mentality that once controlled his life. Now focused on health, fitness, family, and legitimate business, he discusses his upcoming book and a potential screenplay project involving LL Cool J. His message to younger generations is simple: street money and reputation are temporary, while the consequences can last forever.

    Charleston White & Mob James Meet for First Time Since 2023 to Squash Beef

    In a powerful reconciliation, Mob James and Charleston White sit down together to address their past conflict, a confrontation in Dallas that could have ended in violence, and the events that ultimately brought them face-to-face to make peace. Charleston acknowledges Mob James' transformation from his violent past into a grandfather and community advocate, explaining why he wanted to move beyond their public feud. Mob James reveals that he drove from California to Texas specifically to meet Charleston, leading to an emotional conversation between the two men about their differences and the consequences their conflict could have created. Both reflect on surviving difficult environments and evolving beyond the versions of themselves that once relied on anger, retaliation, and street politics. They discuss family, maturity, accountability, and how getting older changed their perspectives on what it truly means to be respected. The conversation becomes deeply personal as Mob James and Charleston examine their own mistakes and explain why forgiveness doesn't require forgetting what happened. Instead of allowing pride to escalate their disagreement, both men acknowledge the importance of recognizing personal growth and giving people an opportunity to change. What began as a potentially dangerous rivalry ultimately becomes a conversation about reconciliation, demonstrating how two men with very different backgrounds and personalities can put ego aside, confront their issues directly, and walk away with mutual understanding.
