--------
Sandrikas Mays sits down with Vlad to address questions around Foolio’s ties to Six Block, explaining that she views it as a Hilltop neighborhood connection near Upper 45th and Moncrief rather than a gang label. She breaks down how Foolio grew up around friends from the area, including Kojak and Keon, while moving between neighborhoods and schools as tensions escalated. Mays also recalls the frightening moment her son was shot at 16 after being transferred to another school, saying she warned officials that sending him into a rival area could lead to violence. The interview covers the aftermath of the shooting, social media disses, neighborhood beef, and the fear she felt as a single mother working as a certified nursing assistant while trying to protect Foolio and her family. A candid look at Jacksonville rap, street conflicts, and the pressures surrounding young artists.
