I conducted an Interview with a friend who is a former street hustler known locally as Kenny G. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ToP0pKxVYreb84aHPDR1N?si=PbjDr-9_T4OHid7M3OHF2w (Audio Podcast) Kenny G had the nice clothes, fancy cars, and the pretty women. Due to Kenny G’s lifestyles he got arrested and ended up serving 17 years in prison. Kenny g is now a free man making the best of his life and living the life of a Christian.

Doing this interview answers several questions of why. Why would anyone chose this lifestyle. Well in Kenny G’s case, he explains how he was abandoned at the young age of 12 years old by his mother. Kenny G was looking for love and acceptance since then. He found shelter anywhere he could. He lived in house to house with different people, whoever would let him stay there. Kenny stole clothes and food to eat each day. While doing this interview, all I could wonder was, where was the help for Kenny as a young teenager? Where was child protect and other child organizations? I guess that during that time there was none. Continuing the interview, Kenny explained that after years of stealing and making it the best he could, he finally got his break. His break came in the form of becoming a high level street hustler. This hustle was were he started making real money. The downside was this particular hustle involved selling illegal substances with a risk of going to prison. Kenny explained that when he got arrested, he was labeled as a kingpin. His case was blown up as if he was a amjor distributor. Kenny explained that wasn’t the case at all. At sentencing Kenny was given 40 years mandatory. He ended up serving 17 years before being released. Kenny G is now a devout christian trying to make the best of his life. Kenny gives God the credit for having the strength to make it through it all. Kenny also explained that he loves his mother who abandoned him when he was only 12 years old. (Kenny G’s mother passed away several years ago). Kenny give God all the praise and encourages others to trust in God through any and everything that you may go through.
