let's dive into this street chronicle Danny Diamonds that's the don of Marcy projects you know I really gotta crown him the king of Brooklyn when you talking bout back in them days who was holding weight in the drug trade and you know moving work in and out of you know the city of New York you know I'm from that connected with cats from Marcy projects and you know once we linked up in the form of alliance with one another you know my whole operation went from one night literally overnight to a whole different stratosphere I jumped from I jumped from straight up copping an ounce of work from them breaking it down to crack obviously you know and then from there I go from that day to the next day I was able to grab at least up to maybe a whole key the next morning I came up in around the 80s right around in Marcy projects in Brooklyn which is mad grimy neighborhood and that was like the first time we had a whole block get smacked with that major crack wave nobody had never witnessed nothing like this so I came up right in the middle of the era where you had young gunners 15-16 years old with Uzi machine guns and in the projects so picture this like regular day shorties outside playing double Dutch and ice cream man rolling through and then cats come running through blazing like that the weather with them when Klime came home I'm watching we do Klime in the whip and to the Danny moms crib now me I was right there when Danny said pop the safe nah give him 10 stacks 10 Gs to go get fly with and I mean nobody believing you know back then 18 Gs I was that was straight you know me 10 Gs to go shop with nah and I see when shopping hand him a brick and I mean I preferred to give the 10 stacks to go shopping to say you know grab some real property cause me who real estate it was whatever it was at the end of the day brothers would have ran through and cleaned it all out I mean that's what it was I mean before the snitching times before all of that you know me it's run through cleaning up Klime with the brick and Klime never looked back yo you just gotta break out of this big but I wanted to be like I need to say over nice success go for man boy that's the 24 hours my man was solid to still is solid to you know me used to mess up a lot to them give me he's the mess up over for the most part he was a good dude Carb was good to him he was like getting me called back to gentleman Dan would say nah Carbs one of my generals you know me we didn't try to get into those ranks and stuff like that here I heard Jay Z dropped someone about Danny and one of his bars that come through right then I talk about Klime a couple of his again he was come out of five pretty far we'll build it and I was with this plug over here on the other side Jay you know and you run a lake you really make sure I was like pressure again I was like connect you Tio stop says now I'm already press because I need to get him to come on let's go tell him this business you know anyway so and then he stopped you say you'll get it again the way we let's push this is I want you to listen to this so you want to go and chase that about when there's a big hand pack and he started you know for this one we back in Brooklyn in the legendary Marcy houses to be exact and if we gonna be talking about Marcy we gotta speak on the king of Marcy and it ain't Jay Z neither but it is thanks to Jay Z that Marcy is probably one of the most famous project buildings known worldwide but if you never stepped foot there it would be impossible to comprehend but I'm gonna try to do my best to walk y'all through Marcy projects now Marcy is positioned in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn or Bedstuy as it's called by now Marcy ain't really a massive projects kind of like Queensbridge as far as sprawling in territory but the one thing about Marcy that sets it apart from a lot of the projects that are notorious and even the ones in Brooklyn is that it's boxed in by four of Brooklyn's most dangerous streets or most infamous streets and those streets are Flushing Marcy Nostrand and Myrtle avenues and when it comes to those four avenues you can get caught slipping on any one of them and be out bad for real and like I stated earlier it's not one of the massive projects like Queensbridge it actually has 27 buildings with each building being six floors so that's roughly about 1705 apartments throughout the whole housing development but even though it wasn't the biggest it always had a reputation throughout New York City even being somebody from Brooklyn you would hear about somebody from Marcy or you would link with somebody from Marcy or something like that and this is pre Jay Z and one of those people that really put that housing project on the map is gonna be the person that we're covering today and that's gonna be Danny Diamonds now certain names echo to you no matter where you posted at and Danny Diamonds is definitely one of those names that you would hear along with others like Puerto Rican Jesus Bill Blass and Calvin Klein this got to be one of the toughest episodes that I had to do research on and dig up information about a lot of times you would get that with these street legends especially when we're going down to the early 90s and late 80s because camera phones and cameras weren't as available as they are today and people weren't as eager to be in those photographs as they are eager to be these days that's one of the problems with the game now but that's for another discussion here you see Sean Jay Z Carter and Calvin Klein Bacote photographed together in 1989 Carter is rocking his Nefertiti gold chain a clear display of his riches at time gained from his first career a stick-up kid turned drug kingpin Klein was one of the Brooklyn cats who a young Sean Carter watched and learned game from him back in the day growing up academically gifted in the Red Hook houses in a two-parent household he soon turned to the fast money and life the streets offered as a 14-year-old stick-up kid he and his crew robbed an entire New York City subway train twice in 1980 their F train robbery inspired Biggie's opening skit on 1994 is ready to die later as a drug dealer Klein would flood the city with mass quantities of 90% quality white rock at one point earning 25 million annually he reportedly owned brownstones in Brooklyn with millions stashed in the walls one of Klein's Marcy Posse business associates was the don of Marcy Danny Diamond's Williams he was very influential in my life but from afar Jigga said in a vibe magazine interview in December 1998 Holmes was doing it he'd always put something away not touch it he had a will too so I was like I need to be doing that now one of the things that separated Danny Diamonds besides being from Marcy and being the king of pretty much the entire complex was he was wholesaling to smaller hustlers as well as being known for what he did for Calvin Klein Bacote who operated out of the Red Hook housing projects but he's also pictured with former Jay Z best friend DeHaven so with them being from that same neighborhood it's almost a given that they benefited from Danny Diamonds being a major player in the game and it's referenced in the early on Jay Z music yeah he spit about being with guys like Emory and about feeling alive riding with Klein and his five but it's different when he talks about Danny Diamonds or Danny Dan as they called him in the earlier grittier Jay Z days he spit almost about the idolization that he had for Danny Diamonds that's how big of a figure he was not that Jay Z was the huge mega star that he is today but he was in those housing projects so when you have a person like that they're almost like God when you hear their names it's like everybody's heads turn and if you've never been in the ghetto where the drug dealer was the hood celebrity I couldn't explain it enough to make you understand though not a lot is published or known about Danny Diamonds it is known that at some point in time during his hustling days he would get into some kind of altercation with another gentleman inside Marcy and during the course of that altercation the other gentleman would end up getting clapped and Danny Diamonds ended up doing five years in prison as a result of the shooting and as any experienced public housing veteran knows once your family is involved with the streets that notoriety follows them everywhere they go and Danny's name carried weight throughout the entire borough even when he was locked down serving his bid the streets was still talking about what he had accomplished and what he had built up before he caught that case you understand me now when Danny got back to the street after doing his time he came home to a different New York City than what he had left it was 1995 and the crack epidemic was starting to wind down but the money was still flowing heavy and the game was changing rapidly with the rise of new players stepping into positions of power but Danny's legacy was already cemented in stone he had already made his mark and proved himself as one of the realest operators that Marcy projects had ever seen a man who understood the business side of the drug trade understood the importance of keeping your money moving and understanding that real wealth came from diversifying your investments and putting something away for the future just like Jay Z would later speak about in his interviews and just like many of the street legends from that era would speak about Danny Diamonds represented that old school mentality of doing the damn thing taking care of your people and building something that would last long after the fast money ran out and even though Danny Diamonds never reached the mainstream celebrity status that some of his associates would achieve he remained a figure of respect and admiration in the streets someone who younger hustlers looked up to and tried to emulate someone who understood that loyalty and integrity meant everything in a game that was built on neither ultimately Danny Diamonds story is a cautionary tale about a man who lived by the streets and suffered the consequences but it's also a testament to the impact one person can have on a community and on those around him his influence on cats like Jay Z and Calvin Klein and countless other hustlers that came through Marcy projects cannot be understated because he showed them that you could be successful in the streets while still maintaining a level of respect and honor that separated you from the rest now whether you see Danny Diamonds as a street legend or as a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of the drug game one thing is undeniable his legacy lives on in the streets of Marcy projects in the music that was inspired by his story and in the hearts and minds of everyone who knew him or heard about what he had accomplished before his time ran out that's what being a real king is about leaving something behind that lasts forever and Danny Diamonds did exactly that yo that's the evil streets family thanks again for locking in on this one Danny Diamonds the king of Marcy his name will forever echo through the hallways of those projects as a reminder of what it means to move with purpose honor and integrity in a game where those virtues are few and far between peace.
