  • The latest Lil Rat interview is finally here. Took me a couple weeks to finish editing it. Over 20 minutes of story telling, history reflecting, and old corner visiting included.
    I sat down with Joseph “Lil Rat” Carrillo last month to go over his personal connection to the Latin Kings of the West Town area of Chicago. Plenty of legendary names were talked about, such as Lord Gino from Leavitt and Schiller, King Papo from Division Street, and plenty more!
    In order to show the viewers a better understanding, we took a drive down to a few corners of the past, where major gang activity took place within the West Town/Wicker Park neighborhood.
    Enjoy!

    I was born in 79, started hanging around lin the mid/late 80s,and early 90s, over on Augusta/Greenview, up in Noble Square. It was all Gents on A/C. I still talk 2 JV,here in there. Hes alot older then me. I remember AVz over by A/F, I use 2 Hit that doughnut shop, at night,when I was a kid,at night after they closed, ring the bell,and this Polish guy would give me a whole box,and like $4 dollars, i think, that was so long ago. The MKz, I would see afew by Eckhart park, but more down Noble South of Chicago ave. Miss the late 80s,Walton having dope ass block parties, the Hideout, was kiddy corner from my house. Good ol days. I remember the House, with all those crosses,on Chestnut, my dad grew up there when he was younger, and he told me,he remembered when the guy started, nailing crosses on the crib.
