Solo started selling crack at just 12 years old, forced into the game out of pure survival. What began as a hustle to stay alive slowly transformed into a full-blown rise through the ranks of the underground drug economy. Solo breaks down how adolescence for him wasn’t school dances and homework — it was cooking crack, dodging rivals, and hustling in high school hallways while living a life completely foreign to most kids his age. As the city plunged into a massive coke drought in 2008, Solo took a bold risk that changed everything. Reaching out to a half-Mexican family member in Texas, he was introduced to a direct Mexican cartel connection — a move that elevated him from corner boy to major supplier, moving from ounces to full kilos. His ability to cook his own product only expanded his reach and dominance. But the game shifted again when his Mexican plug asked him a pivotal question during a business trip to Jalisco, Mexico: “Can you move H?” Testing the market back home, Solo realized H was a completely different beast — higher margins, higher demand, and a faster path to big money… and big consequences. What followed was years of major trafficking, massive profits, and an expanding operation — until betrayal came from the place he least expected. A close “friend,” who had been buying weight from him for years, was secretly a confidential informant. One setup. One ATF buy. And Solo was indicted on a federal drug conspiracy case that earned him 10 years in federal prison. This episode dives deep into: -Growing up in Florida’s crack era -Learning the drug game as a teenage dealer -Cooking crack and scaling the business -Making cartel connections in Texas & Mexico -The difference between crack rock profits and H profits -The betrayal that ended everything -Life inside federal prison after the fall Raw, honest, and filled with hard-learned lessons — Solo’s story is a blueprint of how fast the streets can elevate you… and how fast they can destroy you.
