In a gripping Vlad TV interview, Virginia Beach street legend Pretty Tony—the childhood friend of Jeezy and a survivor of multiple shooting incidents during the crack era—opens up about his father’s violent street past. Known locally as a feared “street guy,” Tony reveals, “I know he killed people,” recounting stories passed down from old friends and family. Despite his dad’s notorious reputation and efforts to keep him away from the streets, Pretty Tony found himself drawn into the hustle as crack cocaine devastated their community in the 1980s. Reflecting on the period, Tony describes crack as a destructive “zombie” drug that led to widespread addiction and desperation, with people trading precious possessions for just a "20 rock." Yet, he notes that today's drugs are even harsher in comparison. Pretty Tony’s candid reflections provide a raw and personal look at the harsh realities of growing up amidst street violence and the crack epidemic.
