He wanted some gutter stuff, so I started rapping some of my gangsta stuff, and I kept on with the song like, 'Let's work on this song right here, it would be tight.' So I paid Jeezy to get on the song, paid (one of his associates) to get on the song and th[e]n after that, it just turned into a big hit. But at the time, I never knew I'd put Jeezy on the song cause I already had the song written, but like I said I just met at the store, and we just clicked at the time.

"

THE DRUG ORGANIZATION: A) Documents filed in October 2006 in a federal case out of Detroit state: "Terry Lee Flenory and Demetrius Edward Flenory, by the early l990's, had established a drug organization which was dealing in kilogram quantities of cocaine in the Detroit metropolitan area. By the mid 1990's, the organization was extended into other areas of the United States including St. Louis, Mo.

, Los Angeles, Calif., and Atlanta, Ga. .

.. Eventually, Terry Lee Flenory and Demetrius Edward Flenory began to operate their illegal cocaine business from Atlanta, Ga.

, and Los Angeles, Calif., as well as Detroit. Between approximately 2001 and 2003, Terry Lee Flenory and Demetrius Edward Flenory began to refer to their activities as being part of an entity they called 'Black Mafia Family' (BMF).

" The documents estimate that BMF possessed $270 million in homes, cars, jewelry and cash: "Such sum in aggregate is property representing the proceeds of the aforementioned offenses." B) At a January hearing in a federal case out of Detroit, DEA Special Agent Bob Bell testified, "At times over a thousand kilograms at a time would come into the country but ..

. multiple 100 kilograms of cocaine would be distributed around the country, sometimes monthly." Bell also told the court that the organization had "expanded in size and scope out to St.

Louis and into Atlanta and Los Angeles. At one point primarily Demetrius Flenory resided and worked out of the Atlanta area and Terry Flenory out of the Los Angeles, California, area." C) A law enforcement source close the organization, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said BMF affiliates in Atlanta numbered in the hundreds.

He described the scope of the organization as follows: "What surprises me about them is how organized they are, their theories on snitching, the fast lifestyle but with the cash flow to also support it. Oftentimes you get people bragging, but they can t put their money where their mouth is. These guys couldn t run out of money.

The amount of seizures and money would have put not even the average but the above-average dealer out of business."
THE LEGIT BUSINESS: A) At the January hearing in Detroit, DEA Agent Bell said, "The information that we developed was that Black Mafia Family is the drug organization, and from that Black Mafia Entertainment was actually incorporated I believe in March of 2004 with the idea to -- I believe, if I'm using the right terminology, to produce music, rap type music, but that in many ways [the business was] all one and the same with the organization." B) Documents filed in January 2006 in the same case state that Meech "admitted to being the owner of BMF entertainment and the executive editor of Juice Magazine.

" C) Documents filed in May 2006 state, "These enterprises [BMF Entertainment and Juice magazine] are legitimate only in the sense that they are in the legal business of representing entertainers and publishing a magazine. The evidence in the case indicates that the money behind these ostensibly legitimate businesses comes from the illegitimate sale of cocaine."
MEECH'S HIP-HOP ASPIRATIONS: In the DVD magazine The Raw Report, Meech says: "What we focusing on right now is Bleu DaVinci.

...

All our independent focus is on what Bleu DaVinci gonna do and how he's gonna make it. If he take off, then we take off. If he don't take off, then we don't want to take off.

Simple. It's all around Bleu. We want Bleu in the best of everything, show him the best everything, show him that a person can come from nothing to something.

...

That's basically what we're focusing on, getting Bleu DaVinci started, which is gonna bring BMF into the industry to be a major label like Universal, or Interscope or Dreamworks or Def Jam. ..

. We comin in at the top of the game. We got all the cars we want, all the houses we want, all the clothes we want, all the jewelry we want and all the ho's we want.

We don't need nothing else but to make good music. That's it."
THE PARTY: At the January 2006 hearing in Detroit, DEA Agent Bell testified, "A birthday party .

.. was thrown on behalf of Demetrius Flenory in which records indicate more than $100,000 was spent to bring in exotic African-type animals and -- with models attending.

" He said the party was "in the Atlanta area" and that BMF had rented out "an entire club." Photos of the party, which was held in the summer of 2004 at Atlanta club Compound, .
THE VIDEO: In The Raw Report, Meech says BMF Entertainment can "just give Bleu $500,000 for his video.

" Documents filed in the federal case January 2006 state, "In a 2005 [sic] promotional video for the release of an album for BMF Entertainment's 'rap' artist, Blue DaVinci, Demetrius Flenory claimed that BMF had invested $500,000 to one million dollars in this single artist."
THE BUZZ: In an interview with CL, Georgia State University criminologist Volkan Topalli said of BMF, "They're a true mafia model. There is a code of silence.

There is a mystique. What that's allowed them to do is create an underground buzz. It's very clever.

There is silence from the members, but talk on the street is huge. The rumors create fear and notoriety and opportunity -- in the music business, in the drug business, in the recruitment business. Young guys, guys who don't really have anything to do with BMF, use their parties and CD releases to build cred.

People will just drop the name. ..

. What made them so popular was, they took it to the next level. It's the difference between being a pimp with one prostitute and a pimp who owns a brothel.

"
DEA INTEREST: At the January 2006 hearing in Detroit, DEA Agent Bell described his familiarity with the DVD magazines depicting BMF. " I'm aware from a DVD in which ..

. Demetrius Flenory speaks, as well as others, that he ..

. was signing one artist to put all of his backing and large volumes of money backing one artist." He also described the DEA's use of wiretaps, surveillance and "testimony of witnesses and confidential sources.

" And he said that the agency "connected numerous large money and large multiple kilogram cocaine seizures back to the organization that occurred over time. Some seizures [were] random, some [were] from focus, you know, investigations into this organization."
THE LOCAL INVESTIGATION: According to an Atlanta Police incident report, the home invasion occurred shortly before 11 p.

m. on Sept. 7, 2003, at 409 Angier Court.

"[A]n unidentified black male was killed during a possible home invasion robbery attempt," the report states. "The homeowner suffered a gunshot wound during the incident as well." Former Fulton County prosecutor Cshey provided additional information on the home invasion, which he called the "impetus" for the local investigation into BMF.

He said the town home housed a "giant walk-in safe" and that investigators found "a shoe and a kilo in the crawl space." He said investigators suspected the town home was a BMF "stash house" and that the invaders allegedly were looking for mass quantities of cocaine. He said the man who lived there, William Marshall, was a BMF affiliate (documents filed in the Detroit case support that claim).

And Csehy described a meeting in the spring of 2004 during which Atlanta Police, local DEA and ATF agents, and representatives of the D.A.'s office were briefed on the presence of BMF and the need to crack down on the crew.

HIP-HOP NIGHT: In the Nov. 13, 2003, AJC article, Bryan Alt said Monday night were his most profitable. "A lot of people spend a lot of money.

"
MEECH'S OFFERINGS: Beautiful women regularly show up flanking BMF members in the DVD magazines. "We get all kinds of women," Meech boasted in Smack. "Models, nobodies, hood rats.

Everything. We do it all. We don't discriminate.

" In the same DVD, he also talked about spending $100,000 in a single night at the club. And he talked about how his crew traveled with him: "It don't make no difference if you the maid or if you the muthafuckin' bodyguard. Everybody gets extras around here, fringe benefits.

C) According to an affidavit filed in Fulton County by Atlanta Police Investigator Torres, "A witness who knows [Meech] stated that she saw him with a gun, running after Girdy and Jones and shooting at them. Both Girdy and Jones were also shooting.

" D) Meech's attorney, Findling, told CL that investigators on the scene "had immediately circled the area to preserve the integrity of the crime scene, not letting people in or out, securing names for interviews so as testimony of the individuals would not be tainted. After they clearly established all of that, they then said somebody called, whom was apparently not one of the people that was inside the tape. There was this unnamed person.

There was never a name, no evidence that there was anybody accompanying her to corroborate her presence there. The whole thing was just comical.

.. We just had a beat from somewhere.

...

We just had the name. We hadn't even done no songs. We just got a beat and just went with it and went and performed.

...

We had good chemistry. That's probably what did it. We was all on the same kinda tip, and it was a good blend.

"
THE LIFESTYLE: Low Down told CL, "The Loccish Lifestyle was just [us] ...

speaking on our lifestyle as a group. It was more like trying to muse on like how we living. .

Everybody wants to be a part of it."

" Low Down told CL, "Early on, it was just street credibility. ..

. I ain't never passed out no fliers or no CDs or nothing. If you do something around here and one person knows about it, if it's the right person, they'll handle all that stuff for you.

It's pretty simple. The type of people that you'll be around, it just comes with the territory." He said that after Loccish Lifestyle got popular on the streets, the band's single "Ridin' High" "really was in the club" and "was hittin' so hard, didn't nobody know what to do with it.

They put it on the radio on their own. We didn't even take it to the radio, because we didn't have no business plan. .

.. It ain't like we was on a contract.

We stayed independent."
THE DEAL: Low Down said Loccish Lifesyle was in Atlanta to negotiate a record deal with Jeezy's label, CTE. A DeKalb County Police incident would later note that Loccish Lifestyle member Shannon Lundy "advised that they were staying at the Marriott Courtyard downtown when Mr.
