“Good morning and Godspeed. It’s ya boy Elliott Carterr reporting live from the gutter.” LFTG Radio isn’t here to coddle the culture. We’re here to confront it. Rooted in truth and reporting from the real, we pull back the curtain on power, pain, and propaganda — straight from the streets to the global stage. This is where mainstream media won’t go. Where the gutter meets geopolitics. Where unfiltered voices challenge the narrative, and real stories refuse to stay buried. We’re not chasing clout — we’re chasing clarity. From the courtroom to the corner store, from Africa to Rikers, we ask what others won’t. No spin. No sellout. Just straight facts from the frontlines. This ain’t no fairytale — this is LFTG.

    Vacated, Reinstated — How New York Took Back a Man’s Freedom: The Story of Baby Sam

    Send us a text For more than 33 years, Samuel “Baby Sam” Edmondson lived inside a conviction the courts would later acknowledge was broken. In 2022, a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge vacated that conviction after finding unreliable witnesses, suppressed evidence, and investigative misconduct tied to NYPD Detective Louis Scarcella. Baby Sam walked free and began rebuilding his life. Three years later, the State of New York reinstated part of that same conviction — without a new trial — sending him back to prison. In this exclusive interview, Baby Sam speaks in his own words about: Having his conviction vacated after three decadesWhat the court acknowledged about his caseLiving free, then being ordered back into custodyThe role of police misconduct and prosecutorial decisionsWhy he believes the system is still refusing full accountabilityThis conversation is not about mythology or headlines. It is about due process, state power, and what happens when the justice system reverses its own admission of error. 👉🏾 Read the full reporting: The Gutter Report: Vacated, Reinstated — How New York Took Back a Man’s Freedom 👉🏾 Take action: Sign the petition calling for accountability and transparency Not for clicks — for clarity. — Elliott Carterr, LFTG Radio 📱 TikTok: @elliott_carterr 📺 YouTube: @lftgradio 🌐 Website: LFTGRadio.com Support the show Subscribe to our YouTube @LFTGRadio and check out the website LFTGRadio.com for live updates!

    The Syracuse Setup: Inside the Case of Nahkeen Lewis-Bush

    Send us a text Start with the evidence — not the rumor. In this episode of LFTG Radio, we speak directly with Nahkeen Lewis-Bush, calling in from Sing Sing Correctional Facility, where he is serving a 40-year sentence for a case that, according to the record, involved no victim testimony, no shot fired, and sworn affidavits clearing him of responsibility. This conversation begins with the human reality behind the paperwork: life on state parole, sleeping in a rescue mission, scraping together money on a rainy night in Syracuse — and how a paid ride would later become the foundation of a prosecution’s theory. From there, we move deliberately into the documents that define freedom or confinement in New York State: grand jury minutes, affidavits, discovery failures, and alleged violations of the state’s speedy trial rules. Nahkeen explains why the grand jury minutes are central to his claim of innocence, asserting they show the alleged victim never described himself as a victim and never appeared at trial — despite jurors being told he would. We examine the prosecution’s shifting theory, the absence of witness statements, and sworn affidavits from co-defendants stating Nahkeen did nothing. We also discuss plea negotiations that dropped from 15 years to 6, the pressure of trial penalties, and the unsettling reality that he has now served more time than the offer he refused. Inside the walls, Nahkeen describes surviving through faith, prayer, and relentless self-education, while helping others navigate appeals and post-conviction relief — a reminder that in a system built on deadlines and disclosures, knowledge can move cases when institutions stall. This is not a debate episode. It is a record-based conversation. If justice is supposed to be the product of due process plus facts, this case raises serious questions about whether either was honored. 📄 Related reporting and source documents: • The Syracuse Setup: What Happened to Nahkeen Lewis-Bush • The Syracuse Setup, Part II: Inside the Paperwork the State Tried to Bury If you care about wrongful convictions, grand jury transparency, discovery obligations, and prosecutorial accountability, this episode is required listening.

    The System vs. Jekai Reid-John: When Innocence Beats the Odds

    Send us a text His name ran in national headlines as the so-called “casino follower.” The courtroom called him something else: “not guilty.” After four years behind bars without bail, Jekai Reid-John joins LFTG Radio for his first exclusive interview, sitting down with his father Dwayne Reid to set the record straight. Together, they walk through the truth behind the case:     •    A first trial miscast as a hung jury, when jurors had already acquitted Jekai on the most serious charges.     •    A second trial ending in full acquittal, with the last conspiracy charge dismissed days later.     •    The casino footage cut to fit a narrative, versus the full story of that night.     •    The evidence gaps — a 9mm gun found elsewhere against .380 casings at the scene, no DNA, no possession charge in Pennsylvania.     •    And the co-defendant’s plea deal and testimony, blaming Jekai while he himself was caught trying to board a flight to Dubai. Through it all, the heart of this story is family. Dwayne reflects on the cost of fighting a case this big — financial, emotional, spiritual — and the strength he drew from his son’s composure. Jekai speaks on “minute by minute” freedom, rebuilding with his children, repairing time with his father, and turning his survival into service for others still trapped in a system that assumes guilt first. This isn’t courtroom spin — it’s the exclusive story of resilience, loyalty, and truth told in their own words. 🗞️ LFTGRadio.com 📺 YouTube: LFTG Radio Not for clicks — for clarity.

    Live From the Feds: Trag Speaks on Loyalty, Lyrics & The Rap Act

    Send us a text The line between storytelling and evidence gets tested when prosecutors treat rap like sworn testimony. In this episode, Elliott Carterr sits down with Trag, calling in from a federal facility in Philly, to unpack the slow grind of pre-sentencing, the PSI process, and why the Rap Act could mean the difference between a fair trial and a narrative stacked against an artist. This isn’t spectacle — it’s a close look at how daily life on the unit, staffing shortages, and bureaucratic delays shape a person’s outlook while the system decides their future. Trag breaks down the facts: no recovered weapons, no DNA, no gunshot residue on his clothing — just lyrics used as evidence. We dive into how prosecutors frame bars as confessions, how jurors can misread persona as fact, and why reforms to protect artistic expression matter for anyone who values free speech. There’s more here than law and headlines. Trag speaks on loyalty that shows up with deeds, not posts. He talks about supporting his daughter, honoring lost loved ones, and holding peace even when rumors fly. We keep it honest about who checks in during the hardest stretches and why clout isn’t a plan. By the end, you’ll understand the PSI, the stakes of the Rap Act, and the human cost of turning art into evidence.

    Staten Island Gangsterism: Penn & Perry's Criminal Empire Uncovered

    Send us a text Raw, unfiltered, and pulling no punches, this explosive episode tears down the façade of Staten Island's most prominent violence prevention organizations. ST (@MikeMont662) delivers a scorching exposé of Penn and Perry and True 2 Life, organizations he claims are operating as criminal enterprises while masquerading as community saviors. The conversation delves deep into the troubling allegations that these taxpayer-funded programs are led by individuals who actively incentivize violence rather than prevent it. ST details shocking instances where staff members allegedly received "raises" after physically assaulting him, suggesting a disturbing pattern of rewarded aggression within organizations publicly dedicated to peace. He doesn't hold back when describing Michael Perry as "a snake" who manipulates others to do his dirty work while maintaining a pristine public image. Perhaps most concerning are ST's claims about the organizations' relationships with law enforcement. He describes a system where certain members operate with apparent police protection, allowing them to intimidate witnesses and engage in criminal activity without fear of consequences. These allegations raise serious questions about accountability and the true mission of these community groups. The episode also explores personal histories and street politics, painting a complex picture of loyalty, betrayal, and the blurred lines between community work and criminal enterprise. ST shares his own attempts at peace talks with organization leaders, only to be rebuffed and later assaulted—incidents he claims went unpunished due to police connections. This conversation serves as a powerful reminder that genuine community safety requires transparency and honest assessment. By exposing what he sees as corruption within violence prevention efforts, ST challenges listeners to look beyond public personas and examine the real impact these organizations have on the communities they claim to serve.

    Unmasking The Kings of The Hill

    Send us a text The streets have been talking, and Power Just is finally setting the record straight. In this raw, unfiltered conversation with LFTG Radio, Power exposes the dark underbelly of Staten Island's Park Hill neighborhood, where loyalty has become a forgotten virtue and federal informants walk freely among their victims. With unflinching directness, Power names the individuals he claims have cooperated with authorities and sent dozens of community members to prison with sentences ranging from 40 to 100 years. The most disturbing revelation isn't just who cooperated, but how they've maintained their presence in the neighborhood afterward. "These n****s keep making these meatball videos and this stupid ass shit, like they was in the loop in Park Hill," Power explains, referencing documentaries that misrepresent the neighborhood's true history while featuring individuals who betrayed their brothers. Power draws important distinctions between different generations of hustlers from Park Hill. He acknowledges those who "deserve their flowers" – the original generation that established the neighborhood's reputation and created opportunities. His anger is directed at those who've violated the code, particularly individuals like Deshawn from Park Hill and Muhammad Stewart (aka Tef), whom he accuses of wearing recording devices and betraying close friends. "My n***a's been sitting in f*****g cells for 10 and 15 years because these disloyal dick-in-the-butt Benedict Arnold n****s was f*****g playing Judas in the hood giving n****s up," he states with palpable frustration. The conversation serves as both warning and preview for Power's upcoming documentary "Kings of the Hill," which promises to expose the full truth with supporting documentation. Unlike other street narratives, Power insists his project will hold everyone accountable, regardless of status or affiliation. "I'm going in on everything," he declares, "You black balling n****s in the music industry. I'm going in on that. You n****s talking crazy and ain't had no cars, wasn't moving to work before the record deal. I'm going in." For those who want the unvarnished truth about Park Hill's street history, who really put in work, and who betrayed the community, this conversation offers a glimpse into the revelations to come.

    For the Record: A Call from Tek Money

    Send us a text 20 years upstate. One conversation to clear the air. The headlines never told the whole story. After nearly two decades behind bars, Tek Money finally breaks his silence in this raw and unfiltered call from prison — challenging everything you thought you knew about his case. Serving 19 years for armed robbery, Tek addresses the rumor that’s haunted him since 2004: allegations of child abuse that made national headlines. “I ain’t never been convicted of that shit,” he says flatly. But the most powerful moment comes when his daughter, Tiannah, joins the line to speak her truth: “I don’t have a single burn mark. I never got hit. My parents weren’t like that.” What starts as a prison interview becomes a moment of public vindication — not just for Tek, but for his legacy as a father. Beyond the accusations, Tek opens up about the deeper injustices he’s witnessed: serving more time for robbery than others did for murder, watching the system fail men like him. But through it all, he’s found purpose. He’s about to become a grandfather. He’s building a brand. And most of all, he’s focused on using his story to steer the next generation clear of the traps he fell into. “Until you’re in the can with 25 to life, this shit ain’t it.” This episode isn’t about clout. It’s about clarity. This is Tek Money — uncut, uncensored, and finally heard. Support the show Subscribe to our YouTube @LFTGRadio and check out the website LFTGRadio.com for live updates!
