VladTV

Lil Jungle Boy sits down with VladTV to trace a life shaped by foster care, South Central LA, Baldwin Village’s Jungles, and years inside California prisons. Born at Martin Luther King Hospital and raised between Louisiana, Chicago, and Los Angeles, he discusses early exposure to drugs, joining the Bloods, the impact of *Training Day* on his neighborhood, and connections to figures like T. Rodgers, Reggie Wright, Mac 10, Ice Cube, Freeway Ricky Ross, and Wack100.

He recounts surviving being shot in the head three times, 30 total gunshot wounds, 175 stab wounds, an Oakland kidnapping and torture ordeal, and 16 years behind bars following a police shootout case. The conversation also touches on LA County Jail, Sheriff Baca-era issues, Soft White Underbelly, Draco the Ruler, Big U, Crip Mac, Terrance “Gangsta” Williams, Mo3, and his current push toward legal work, gang prevention, and rebuilding life after prison.

Anuel AA sits down with VladTV for a rare first interview, tracing his journey from Carolina, Puerto Rico and the Sabana housing projects to becoming a pioneer of Latin trap. He opens up about his father’s Sony Music Puerto Rico background, early inspiration from Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III, his grind with Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group and Spiff TV, and the viral Bryant Myers remix that helped fuel the Spanish trap movement.

The conversation also covers Anuel’s 2016 weapons arrest, denied bail, 30-month prison sentence, missing his son, and the shocking rise that followed as Real Hasta La Muerte hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums and broke Apple Music streaming records. He reflects on support from Daddy Yankee, Wisin, Yandel, his Billboard Latin Music Award win, Emmanuel, and working with Karol G. The interview takes a tense turn when Tekashi 6ix9ine, “BEBE,” “MALA,” and cooperation allegations come up—leading to Anuel walking out.

Comedian TK Kirkland returns to VladTV for a wide-ranging conversation on hip-hop, sports, culture and money. He reacts to the Yella Beezy trial tied to Mo3’s murder in Dallas, the alleged shooter’s link to Boosie’s shooting, and how rap beefs, baby mother drama and street politics can spiral into real legal consequences. TK also weighs in on Gucci Mane, Keyshia Ka’oir’s statement, 1017, and the response to Gucci’s album “Against All Odds.”

The interview moves from Jay-Z’s SoFi Stadium concert and Super Bowl talk to Drake vs. Michael Jackson, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Cleveland, the Lakers and NBA loyalty. TK and Vlad also discuss Trump’s comments on Nicki Minaj, Diddy’s reported Fort Dix transfer, Robinhood, stocks, Rick Ross selling Wingstop locations, Tiffany Haddish, Chris Tucker, Friday, Birdman, relationships, parenting, and protecting your peace.

G. Dep sits down with VladTV for a candid look back at his Harlem upbringing, rise through Bad Boy Records, and the life-altering 2010 decision to walk into an NYPD precinct and confess to the 1993 shooting death of John Henkel. The rapper revisits the crack-era streets of Harlem, early battles with Cam’ron, Ma$e and Bloodshed, DJ Premier’s cosign, and his breakout run with “Let’s Get It,” “Special Delivery,” and the album *Child of the Ghetto*. He also reflects on working with Diddy, Black Rob, The Notorious B.I.G.’s *Born Again*, Craig Mack, Ghostface Killah, and the Bad Boy roster. Dep opens up about PCP addiction, trial, a 15-to-life sentence, prison at Elmira and Fishkill, his 2024 release, Black Rob’s death, new music including *Off the Count*, and his upcoming memoir.

In this VladTV interview, Carlos Lehder details his journey from Armenia, Colombia, to New York, prison in Danbury, and the cocaine routes that helped define the Medellín Cartel era. Lehder discusses meeting Jorge “Boston George” Jung, building the Norman’s Cay operation in the Bahamas, working with Pablo Escobar, and why he says the “cartel” was never a single unified organization. He also addresses the M-19 kidnapping attempt, MAS, Colombian politics, Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, Luis Carlos Galán, his 1987 extradition, and the U.S. case that led to life plus 135 years.

Lehder reflects on cooperating in the Manuel Noriega trial, witness protection, 33 years in federal prison, release in 2020, life in Germany and Colombia, and portrayals in Blow and Netflix’s Narcos. He also shares his warning on drug trafficking, comparing past narco empires with El Chapo and today’s law enforcement technology.
