Fredo popped out the cut and got into the streets at an early age
from beating up a teacher to shootouts and robberies he grew up with the risk of jail time
or even death, but Fredo beat the odds and made it out the hood to make a name for himself that would
last forever, this is Top Trend Tv and this is the criminal history and biography of Fredo Santana
Derrick Coleman aka Fredo santana was born on july 4th 1990
in the parkway garden area of chicago better known as Oblock, the most dangerous block in Chicago,
fredo was raised by his mother and his grandmother his father role in his life is unknown,
but fredo hopped in the streets at an early age and joined a gang called the BD's
a well-known gang in Chicago, known for their murders against rival gang members the GD's
he made his way selling drugs and hittiing licks on the streets of chicago only at the age of 12
which was the first time he got locked up for selling drugs, and Freddo's parents didn't
really keep tabs on him so fredo continued to do what he wants and live a street life,
and being from a city where gun violence is so common, and the leading city of murders every
year made it hard for Fredo to make it out, but he says he always knew that he would make it out,
and be something bigger than what he was with seeing all the violence around him,
was the cause of a lot of built up anger in fredo and ended up getting arrested at the age of 14
for beating up his teacher, unsure of the details of this situation, because unfortunately fredo
doesn't have a lot of interviews, but he did spend some time in juvenile hall,
and later getting out on probation, he says he started to play around with rapping at this time,
but didn't really take it serious he says he was managing chief keef and helping him with
his career, but fredo ended up going back to jail around 2010, right when his cousin chief
keith started to get hot in the chicago drill scene, and that group GBE was getting pretty hot,
so when Fredo got out he decided to take music more serious seeing Chief Cheef and Lil Reese's
success, after serving about two years in jail Fredo Santana dropped his first song,
named "hitta" and the song did pretty good due to the Glory Boyz rise of clout,
and around this time the glory boy's clout was mostly only in their hometown of Chicago,
soon Fredo dropping on that featuring his cousin Chief Keef, and this song
went crazy in that city with the lyrics mostly talking about robbing, killing and street life
really showed the struggle in Chicago, but in 2012 Chief Keep dropped his first big song featuring
lil Reese, named "i don't like" and this song went crazy putting the whole squad on the map, plus one
a little Reese's lyrics shouted out Fredo Santana saying, "Fredo in the cut that's a scary sight",
and with his hard up look and the cross between his eyes, really made Fredo stand out in a
group and made fans go crazy everywhere bringing the Chicago drill music to life,
Fredo and his cousin Chief Keef continued to drop music, dropping his first mixtape in 2012
named "it's a scary sight" then dropping "fredo kruger" and then "street-ish", and seeing the
fans that glory boys was gaining fredo continued to drop mixtapes including "it's a scary sight 2",
"walking legend" which has his father holding him as a child in 2014 then he dropped
"ain't no money like trap money" in 2015 and this mixtape nearly as 4 million hits on my mixtapes,
then after that he dropped "fredo mafia", "plugged in" and "frodo kruger 2" in 2017,
then of this year they dropped the legend, but growing up around a lot of violence
and a lot of his close homeboy is dying at early ages,
like his cousin Blood Money and his close friend Capo, and losing many more people
fredo says he suffered with "PTSD" which is post-traumatic stress disorder, and it's a
disorder which most army vets suffer from from being in war, and seeing a lot of violence
and was the cause of fredo's heavy drug use, at one point being addicted to xanax and lean
Fredo attributed heavy drug use to trauma experience during his childhood,
and turning to drugs as a coping mechanism Fredo was hospitalized in march of 2017,
after suffering a seizure which he blamed on heavy workload and a poor sleep schedule, as freedom
continued to have seizures he was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy in march of 2017,
and was subscribed to Keppra to treat it, despite the medicine Fredo continued to suffer from
seizures, usually multiple in a row fredo was hospitalized again in october 2017,
after a friend and fellow rapper Gino Marley found fredo mid-seizure on the floor in his
house with blood coming out his mouth, Fredo was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with
liver and kidney failure, with the main factor being his addiction to xanax and lean Fredo,
also expressed interest in going to rehab while in the hospital, but on the evening of January 19
2018 at around 11:30 p.m local time, Fredo's girlfriend Audrey discovered him unresponsive
in their LA home, unfortunately though shortly after fredo was pronounced dead, he had suffered
from a fatal seizure, and the autopsy revealed that he had developed a cardiovascular disease,
in addition to the previous condition he suffered from frito had one child month before he died,
and a lot of rappers and even a lot of his hops shouted him out when he died, like FBG Duck,
which really shows you what kind of guy he really was but Fredo didn't do too
many interviews either so the information that i did get was pretty hard to find,
but in no way was i had to disrespect Fredo just here to give a bio of his life and his
criminal history, and to keep his name alive but that'll be about it for Fredo Santana,
