I Made $5K a Week Selling Crack ----- Then Went To Federal Prison

Jul 30, 2025 Locked In with Ian Bick
Bigfacehead grew up in the streets of Hartford, CT, surrounded by poverty and pain. With his father behind bars and no clear path forward, he dropped out of school at 16 and turned to the drug game — making $5,000 a week selling crack. But that fast money came with a price. At just 20 years old, Bigfacehead was caught in a sweeping federal RICO case and sentenced to 60 months in federal prison. In this interview, he shares what life was really like on the streets, how the feds built their case, and what prison was like for him.
