1 2 3 4 20 40 60 85 all right we good
right mhm drug dealer is just a drug
dealer a hustler is someone that can
sell socks you can sell anything who's
going to pay you or him you know when
you go into drugs you're no longer a
hustler you're a drug dealers they like
Oh I'm a hustler I'm a hustler no a

the city talking fast you know talking
convincing he's a good Hustler I knew I
had a good item I was putting the the
the stuff about the ghetto into this and
I said if all else fails as long as I
make this magazine cheaper than every
other magazine I can sell this to
the people that's in the neighborhoods
that I go
to feds has served as the unofficial
newsletter of urban crime culture for 18
years the magazine doesn't offer
subscriptions and has no website or
social media presence it's gained
traction covering Outlaws ignored by or
inaccessible to mainstream media which
explains its full name finally every
dimension of the streets every young kid
across America that that doesn't go into
sports when if you ask them in the
ghettos who were you intrigued about you
know who excited you they're going to
say the neighborhood drug dealer the
neighborhood pimp that's what the
intrigued us I was moving fast you know
just like any other kid he just had an
idea that he wasn't executing and then
unfortunately I got shot once in the
back and once on my leg and that left me
paralyzed from my waist down on my left
side so during the time that I was
paralyzed I um started to think more
because I'm in the house all the time I
had a about a dozen friends that was in
prison and while they were in prison
they would ask me send me a nudie
magazine send me a whole array of
magazines I thought to myself hold on
there's a market for this if I put all
the different elements that they want
into a magazine and all my surroundings
that surround me I think I have a
business Antoine doesn't just run the
Magazine's business operations he writes
many of the
stories tonight he's covering the
go hard boys a harlem based motorcycle
club known for their illegal escapades
on dirt
bikes look at that guy look at him look
at him leaning look at him leaning look
at him
leaning right now we ride through the
city with the goar boys this is what
they have to do to have a good time
making noise wearing no helmet look at
these kids they're dead devils look at
the they're doing on these bikes
they learned how to do this on their own
they learned how to do this by breaking
bones they about to tear the city up
into the police
Chas you guys call this stuff a sport
it's our for the police call it a crime
right tell me the difference man when
they ride the bikes they not getting in
the trouble they may be breaking laws
but they're not killing each other we
got gang members who ride together who
not allowed to really gang bang no more
cuz you're around us police would chase
you sometimes the police chase to kill
you they don't chase to go hey pull over
don't do that you know so build a Parks
you to kill these people kids these kids
literally want to ride bikes and I
understand what they do in the community
is overkill we get that but build them a
park don't kill them the go hard boy
Desperado reputation earn them notoriety
with fettywap the rapper plans to help
finance a dirt bike park geared toward
people without places to legally ride
Antoine used the connection to secure an
interview for the music section of the
magazine I've been riding for 100 years
the passion he got is the same passion I
had he like find the property I'm buying
the park you could be blood crit l king
Haru whatever you want to be man on

I love the people that love to ride with
me H just take this bike don't even tell
them where it came from just got
brand new bikes don't even know where it
came from never know when might come out
the lucky bag hold on hold on you never
know what might come out The Bag Man not
one single record company allowed us to
interview their artist we had to be the
feds and catch everyone's artist on our
they all said the stuffff I had was too
hard for their artists that's hood
a bum rush him in the studio or
somehow we got in their office man this
what this what it was I'm my block for
12 and 22nd man Patterson har that's
what we call it man you feel me BR I
started when I came out issue one with
3,000 copies I did not invest any more
money in it it was a total flip like
Hustlers say with drug games how you
flip it and flip it and flip it issue 5
which was an all women's issue I had
75,000 copies printed and we were
independently owned fed's authentic
coverage of the criminal Fringe made it
a staple in US prisons there owning the
latest issue is considered a status
symbol among inmates once you get
something like this in prison that's
hard of course they're going to love it
and then ban it you ban something in
prison with a bunch of people that have
mischief and Outlaw ways that didn't
hurt Feds that helped feds it's banned I
want this I want to show that I have
this I just came home I just yo all we
used to do is just read the FED magazine
it was the magazine of prison everybody
got to copy that out of there stay out
of there that's def man definitely man
hopefully you're refed out here now not
inside there the magazine scarcity
hasn't kept Die Hard fans away but as
print media sales declin across the
market and finds himself struggling to
maintain his audience see how you make
me look you only took 500 man I told him
he was a big guy 1,200 a
th the sold because you L Issue didn't S
I didn't change to feds online or it
wasn't really a social media thing
because I really couldn't find a profit
yeah well I put the white guy on the
cover man they a little Prejudice I
don't know I'm not Prejudice they a
little Prejudice I don't know so that
was one of the worst sales we ever had
last issue right you know because of my
age and because I wasn't internet Savvy
I really didn't see an interest in it
for me but um now I do all right we
Snapchatting right that goes out
instantly what's going on this fed's
magazine right here we here with go hard
boys it's going down it's going down
this sh is so
fny the back pages of feds have long
been dedicated to sweets girls Antoine's
take on Playboy bunnies and Hustler
Honeys shout out to Rikers I know a
couple people out there they told me
that they all read this whatever could
to fulfill a man's fantasy while he's
going through his bid and he's you know
in a up place in his life if I
could help you bust that nut then I'm
I'm happy for
you seriously I think it's dope that
they use real women because at the end
of the day we are in the N life and we
see people come in and out there's guys
that come in the strip club like yo I
got to turn myself in tomorrow so we
know what it is like you know what I'm
saying we deal with these people we we
know them and I think it's dope that
we're able to just be like you know here
you're
welcome you know it's a hard place you
don't want to be sitting in there
reading Home and Garden you know
everyone wants to read something hard
you know or sexy you know so I knew I
had to incorporate that part of the
streets no modeling company would cover
them nobody would would give them a a a
position for anything that had to do
with any fashion and I gave my pages to
them also feds is a part of the culture
feds is a part of community every said
everything that goes on in a lower class
and poor environment I gave people a
voice when they didn't have a voice I
believed in the people that was not
believable you know I stayed in the
ghetto and I I wrote about the ghetto
when I no longer had to write about the
ghetto 20 years strong okay yeah this
look like a this like a mean Edition
right here
man I start to get a little nervous
because you know I'm dealing with
gangsters I'm dealing with real
criminals you know these ain't the
wannabe Guys these the guys that did it
started getting threats from certain
inmates you know listen I'm about to get
you killed man you better take
that picture out of there but I shook
that off why would I change it now
it's too late I'm chasing money and I
got a real dream fed magazine that's how
we do crime may be fed's main focus but
Antoine believes the magazine can
actually help keep its audience out of
the criminal justice system by
encouraging something that has been
shown to lower incarceration rates
reading and literacy our people were not
reading from 25 to 45 we were not
reading anything when I came out with
FEDS Magazine I bust the door wide open
because now I had something they wanted
to read some people's going to take
caution from it some people's going to
take Glory from
