ONFESSED DRUG DEALER, AZ, SPEAKS OUT ABOUT HARLEM'S FAMOUS DRUG
DEALERS ALPO AND RICH PORTER
(from F.E.D.S. VOL. 1 Issue #1)
F.E.D.S..: You're smiling, but the rest of us want to know how you
managed to become one of Harlem's young great ones.
AZ: (after a long pause)......I never looked at myself like
that.....but I guess other people did, and I wasn't trying to do that
but....... it happened. I guess.
F.E.D.S..: But you are aware that you've made quite a reputation for
yourself, after all we have many hustlers, but we don't have many
hustlers like you.
AZ: True, I played the game, I played the game fair and I took the
business seriously.
F.E.D.S..: And that business was?
AZ: Drugs.....cocaine not crack. Straight cocaine.....why did I sell
cocaine? (He comments to himself).....I started selling coke like
around 1980 or late 1983...like November.
F.E.D.S..: How old were you then?
AZ: About nineteen, nah, about seventeen
F.E.D.S..: Did you know Richard Porter at that time?
AZ: Yeah......we went to school together, he lived up the block from
me, we like grew up together, matter fact, at first I was working in
the cleaners right across the street from where he lived at, Rich used
to hustle on Amsterdam Avenue and 145th Street.....and Rich wasn't
selling what you would call real drugs at the time. He used to sell
some **** to the white boys, I don't know where he learned it from, he
ain't never tell me, but that **** used to work. He used to go to the
supermarket and get a seasoning called sage and some eggs, take all
the sage and put in a bowl, then crack two eggs, mix it, put it in the
oven and let it cook.....then the **** would get hard, then he'd take
it out and mash it down flat.......once it dried, it looked just like
a drug that people smoked called hash.....it looked and smelled
exactly like hash...hashish. White boys used to come from Jersey and
Rich used to sell them pieces for like twenty, fifty dollars, he used
to stay fresh like that, sheepskins... leather bombers.
