Part 1: Lil Jungle Boy on Being a Drug Runner at 7, Joining the Bloods at 10

--------

In this VladTV interview, Lil Jungle Boy details his early life around Los Angeles street politics, explaining his Blood affiliation near Baldwin Hills, Crenshaw Mall and the Inglewood area. He discusses family ties to T. Rodgers, growing up around the Jungle, and how the filming of *Training Day* brought new attention to the neighborhood.

The conversation then moves through Louisiana, Chicago and LA as Lil Jungle Boy recounts violent incidents from his childhood, including a shootout shortly before turning 9 after an alleged robbery attempt, and a stabbing involving an older man in Chicago. He describes being taught weapons knowledge at a young age and explains the circumstances behind those moments, while Vlad presses him on how a child could face grown men in those situations.

A raw discussion on upbringing, gangs, survival, and consequences in some of America’s most notorious neighborhoods.
