Marlow Bates and Tamir Stanfield sit down with VladTV to discuss growing up in West Baltimore, the 1980s heroin trade, Murphy Homes, and how their real names and reputations became linked to HBO’s The Wire and Jamie Hector’s Marlo Stanfield character. The half-brothers detail their family history, street operation, arrests, murder convictions, and decades in prison while addressing claims involving David Simon, Ed Burns, Little Melvin, Baltimore police, witnesses, and controversial ballistics expert Joseph Chaparro.

In this uncensored full interview, Bates and Stanfield reflect on money, violence, prison life, parole, accountability, and the damage drugs caused in their own community and family. They also discuss The Wire’s legacy, what they say the show got wrong, not being compensated, Bates’ Amazon Prime documentary, and their plans to tell more of their story.
