Part 1: G.Dep on Growing Up in Harlem During Crack Era, Selling Drugs as a Teen
--------
In this revealing VladTV conversation, G. Dep opens up to DJ Vlad about the difficult period before he walked into a police station to confess to a past robbery and shooting. The Harlem rapper recalls telling his wife and mother, both of whom urged him to think about his young twin sons and the consequences of turning himself in. G. Dep explains that, by 2007, he was struggling with addiction and felt he was already failing his children while being “heavy on the dust,” a street term for PCP or angel dust. He traces the drug use back to around 2003, describing how PCP became an escape from guilt, stress, and painful memories. The discussion also touches on the stigma around PCP, comparisons to Chris Tucker’s character in Friday, and the harsh reality of trying to be a father while battling substance abuse.
