Junior Black Mafia: Aaron Jones

De: Seth Ferranti

Narrado por: Seth Ferranti

Step into the ruthless world of Philadelphia's crack era and meet Aaron Jones, the fearsome leader of the notorious Junior Black Mafia (JBM). "Get Down or Lay Down" was their chilling motto, a warning to rivals that included everyone from the ruthless Jamaican Shower Posse to the ever-watchful local police and the relentless feds.

This gripping book delves into the life and legend of Aaron Jones. During the 1980s, his word was law on the streets of Philly. The JBM became a symbol of power and ruthlessness, leaving an indelible mark on the city's criminal underworld.

But Aaron Jones wasn't just a gangster–he was a death before dishonor icon.

This book explores how he rose to become the most recognizable figure of the JBM, immortalized in street lore and hood legends. Their flashy diamond-encrusted JBM rings were a symbol of their self-proclaimed hood royalty, a stark contrast to the brutal reality of their reign.

This is the story of a criminal empire, a legendary leader, and a city forever marked by the crack era.

Not much meat

You can learn more about the JBM from Google than from this book. The author spent time interviewing people associated with JBM, but clearly didn’t put much effort into making this a real book that evaluates that time.
