when I worked at Gee Street Records for Jon Baker, he gave me an envelope to take somewhere. It was close so I decided to walk there, Cali girl FRESH off the plane first time in NY. I got there & Screwdriver opened the door. Then Tragedy came up in a butter-leather Avirex ...
I told him I had documents from Gee Street. He asked my name. He recognized the name and asked if I was the same Lady who was visiting Capone of CNN in Wyoming. See, I flew to NY just to go to the jail, but a temp agency got me a job my 2nd day at "hip hop record company". ...
My brother had the fly loft in williamsburg (1996) so I stayed in Brooklyn, worked at Gee Street, took 40 hour bus trips upstate to Wyoming in Attica, NY to see Capone. My FIRST DAY off the plane I took the subway dolo to BK, dropped my things off, went to times square alone ...
This is all pre-internet mind U, we just BARELY had AOL. I did it all off instinct. that bus trip? upstate? full of nothing but moms and wives and girlfriends going for VIs? in the SNOW? Not a trip for the shook. The Capone interview appeared in TRACE Mag. Never got paid for it.
I conducted the Capone interviews in a visiting room in a maximum security penitentiary with GOLF PENCILS and NAPKINS for my notes. That bus ride was a forty-hour turnaround trip. I can go on & on half the story will NEVER be told but more on this at medium.com/@NoorScience/t…
