- In this full-length interview, Unique Mecca Audio starts by speaking to a VladTV correspondent about being the cousin of famed activist Marcus Garvey. Hall explained that while he saw photos of Marcus at his grandparents’ home in Jamaica, he didn’t put the pieces together until he came to the U.S. From there, Hall spoke about growing up in Kingston, Jamaica. He explained that he didn’t get his first pair of shoes until he moved to America. Unique then shared stories about seeing police in Jamaica riding on horseback and handcuffing people with rope, like in the Western movies he was watching as a kid. He then explained that the only people to look up to when he was a kid were the criminals.
Moving along, Unique Mecca Audio spoke about getting in the streets, and he explained that when he was in Jamaica, he didn’t realize that the street guys were making money illegally. Unique explained that he was being told that money was literally growing on trees, and he added that he was a “child soldier.” He went on to speak about seeing violence with his "posse" in the USA. Later, Unique Mecca Audio details the dangerous political environment while growing up in Jamaica. He explained to Cavario that in the 1970s, former Prime Minister Michael Manley was “building up” Jamaica with shanty houses. When there were two parties in Jamaica, Hall explained that things got violent as the two sides faced off.
As the Q&A session moves along, Unique Mecca Audio goes in-depth about his criminal empire, working with his brothers in the drug game, and expanding his business from New York to places such as Virginia and Florida. He also talks about the street politics involved with various territories in NYC between his empire, the Cali Cartel, and Dominican criminal organizations.
Moving along, Unique's brother, Big Boosie, makes an appearance to reflect on what he learned from the drug game and the rap game before previewing his upcoming documentary. Lastly, Unique Mecca Audio touches on his connection to the music industry, his friendship with the late 2Pac, working with Pete Rock for the first time, and how he started the "hey-ho" chant that Naughty By Nature Made Famous. He also speaks on doing business with Diddy and Biggie's passing before reflecting on the clothing line and record label he started before he got locked up.

Unique is as real as it gets. He was even a legend here upstate. My uncle was in Marion with him. Humble, respectful but real. One of those legends that doesn’t get the accolades he deserves. Put some respect on Unique’s name. Great interview.
This the most shoutouts I ever heard in a interview 💯😂
Unique is a real legend… dude is mad humble, spoke with him when I was in NYC last year
“You know what I mean”
Shout out to Unique. Great story teller and certified legend. This man is a walking history book.
Its funny how so many are still tricked into looking at people as legends, whom heavily contributed and helped the higher ups,most unkowingly, destroy communities. And people wonder why the inner cities havent changed for the better in decades. People are also tricked into always and only pointing the finger outwards. Instead of demeaning the actions of people like this dude, they wanna put him up on a pedestal. Will people ever wake up??????
@@jaseallenson316 WTF are you talking about?! I’m not fooled by anything and I’m clear of mind. Being a Legend doesn’t have to do with morals. Do yourself a favor and look up the word before you come here with your pseudo-righteousness
Killer of his own people…
To call a drug dealer, a killer a legend is beyond me.
😊😊
One of the best interviews EVER on VladTV!!!!! Bring back Unique Mecca Audio and Cavario!!!!! ASAP!!!!!
Vlad sounds like he is reminiscing from being right there with them. It doesn't seem like a interview, it's more like old friends getting together after being apart for a long while.
@@cashflow7786 that wasn't Glad interviewing UNIQUE. CAVARIO is interviewing this guy...
@@1970mai18 that explains it. I was up in the middle of the night and the conversation kept me listening to the end.
@@cashflow7786 salute homie tell ur Popz I said what's up n get at me
@@uniquemeccaaudionyc you are a real cool guy... I was going to call you a cool cat, but you told us you don't like cats lol.
The best interview on Vlad TV.
I'm from Haiti and we heard the same story about the money on the trees growing up lol
Trinidad too
😂😂 Really?? 🤣
Sekonsa 🇭🇹 ya tu sabes 🇨🇺🇵🇦 Yadunno 🇯🇲👌🏿💪🏿👏🏿
This dude is another certified hip hop legend that we didn't know about. He lived an incredible life already, and he's still doing big things ...his story is a long way from being over. I wish great things for you in the future. Without him hip hop wouldn't be what it is today.
This why shit will never change. It blows my mind, how this dude is literally telling people DONT follow his life cuz it wasnt worth it at all. He was just another dude that heavily contributed to destroying communities, yet you wanna put him on a pedestal. And its the lifestyle like his, that hip hop has glorified and influenced so many kids and young adults to wanna live the dead end street life. This was all part of a plan by the higher ups to keep crime and the prison population up, yet so many people cant see through the shit. Wake up yall
Chip hop we need to be concerned about today what the government is doing to America. Period. You people focus on the wrong things in this day and time. Smarten up
that's tru an he wasn't the only 1
Hip hop ? What’s his tie
He’s a legend just not in Hip Hop
I'm Jamaican....he spoke big fax on growing up in yard
Yeah. But He just misspoke on one part. that it’s no 🌈 in jamaica. Bambaata is from Jamaica brah.
@@cherokeebill1560 Bambaata is from the Bronx not Jamaica
@@cherokeebill1560 you be lookin for dem bottay boyz huh
@@Conscious_Pookie_Tee2.7 nah. I just watch the news.
Both u niggaz is MOOKS arguing likes bitches get a room 🛌 👨❤️👨
Certified, stamped and approved. This a God OG right here. This message is the wealth and abundant knowledge that true riches are made of.
Man I’m about to go get that damn book.. great interview..
Right...
book is super dope they even got a audio book
Was the name of the book
🥷 said free the unabomber 😅
BEST INTERVIEW on the internet. Grew up in Harlem and Jamaica, so this hits hard
You know what I mean
We need a docu-series on Unique. Great interview Cavario 🔥🔥🔥🔥
These NY dudes make you feel like you were right there with them with these stories.
It was good times but I'm glad I was too young to be in the streets but I swear to God those were the best times of my life!!! U could go to each corner and ask drug dealers for money by the time u reach 4 corners of the block u had 100 dollars at only 10 years old!!! U might have to go to the store a few times but I miss the 80s in Brooklyn... Forreal..
@@ftwdamfseyg we were real men att 14 years old 70s 80 s 90s the best times . respect NY. Rican in Puerto Rico.100% POSITIVE ALWATS enjoy life.
@@1967KID oh yea new york Ricans Kno what it is,, Puerto Ricans we're some crazy motherfuckers back then. And I can't front Puerto Ricans had hands!! Since kindergarten they always knew how to box in the 80s,, they use to play handball alot so it helped alot with they boxing skills lmao Dem niggaz knew how to fuckin box . Shout-out to all Dem Puerto Ricans in sunset park who use to chase us when we came from Flatbush!!!! Lmao good ole days....
Cuz they were man’s men with principles.if you have to come up with stories it’s pretty difficult. animals shoot you in the back, and blitzed running in autopilot scared. Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of men of principles and honor. Those are respected and thriving. Make sure the word comes out your mouth is what you ment, so that you don’t have to explain or apologize.That’s one of those principles.
Facts
My hometown New Orleans sent Marcus Garvey back home to Jamaica. Many black people turned they backs on him out of fear and left him stranded with no help. But we had his back. R.I.P. Marcus Garvey. Parish to Parish. Shout-out to Jamaica.
Really did not know that
@@jaktil9246 Yeah my grandfather was a kid when it happened.He always told me this story.
@@pharoah504 you’re correct. Marcus Garvey last stop in the United States was New Orleans.
I still have the actual new paper
You don't know your history , United States is the only reason Garvey is known because " jamaica" did not support him , he needed to go back to Jamaica
@@filaspeaks1094 You don't know your history or apparently can't read,yes America supported him at first but nobody supported him in the end. He was pushing a back to Africa movement,not back to Jamaica.
No one can tell a story like Unique! God bless him ✊🏾🙏🏾
You know what I mean😂
“You know What I mean”
@@seanforeal2286 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bless the man that sold drugs
Charlie Murphy could. They probably knew each other.
LEGENDARY INTERVIEW
Right on ☺️👍
Great interview with unique he didn't let the system break him down...
Unique is like a more gangster version of Wallo267… both did their time an came home on a mission an haven’t looked back since… I first caught his story on Flip tha Script podcast with Queenzflip an GMoney. He ran this whole interview lol didnt even need to be asked anything he knew the assignment already… he jus needs to find his lane an then hit the gas… much respect an salute 🫡 this man💪🏾
Yo this Man… the best interview ever!!
Y’all say this to every person who gets interviewed!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Incredible recall. That's the gift that keeps on giving.
When ya spend a number of years or decades in prison, your emotional maturity stops the day you go behind the wall. When I got out the things I did up till the day I went in are the only things I know about life on the street and I started thinking I should dress the same talk the same... I could recall everything I did up to that point but I didn't realize my friends kept living, experiencing life... and I hadn't. So I get why he can recall it so well and why he talks the way he does
@@4Wardlogistics Merry Christmas! You got this.
@@Perrydog101 thanks, Happy New Year to you and yer family
Point of view
I love the way he describes growing up in the Jamaican community described criminals as heroes same shit we do in American hoods
Facts we the same ppl just different spots brotha
THIS IS INSPIRING????
@@pagola your not from the hood you wouldn’t understand the metaphorical meaning behind it back in the day you depended on the street dudes played daddy to the kids on the street or held big cookouts and basketball tournaments for the neighborhood so that’s what we mean by neighborhood hero’s
@@J2U85 yea..poison my people and then feed us and give us basketball games..there is a reason why the hood is still destroyed..these guys were the last cog in the wheel to completely wage biological warfare on our people..never understood how they could be "heroes"...lost
@@J2U85 did they build a school..NO....did they build a hospital...NO...what did they leave? Destruction and death
I think this is the best vlad interview yet
Sending the barrel back home story my mum used to pack up a red barrel to Guyana 🇬🇾 from England 🏴 full of necessities... and stuff that was hard to get in Guyana... family back home loved our Heinz Baked Beans...Well to cut a long story short..it was a hit and miss if all the contents of the barrel was received by the recipient.. glad your family got the luxuries like the tvs
I can relate to his life in the Caribbean and coming to America. I came to America in the early 90s and it was a culture shock. It was the time of the crack era, that time was a crazy. Trinidad 🇹🇹 make me, but America 🇺🇸 raised me.
Got the pleasure to meet Unique and travel with him to help his content. He was at 24k subs when I met him he at 64K now, shout out to this man. Learned alot from him in the time we spent, thats the goat fr
By far the Best Vlad interview and interviewer !!!!
Cavario and Shawn prez complete the network…. As a long time listener this is a perfect trio 🔺
Love this interview with unique no one can explain it better than him. Very Intellectual can learn a lot from him. Great interview.
This interview was fire! I was waiting for you to drop the whole thing because the 30 minute cuts had me hooked.
unique own youtube channel is cool too. thanks to cavario for asking good questions and familiar with what Unique was talking about
On everything fucks with Nique true General!
You know what I mean😂
Unique a real dude wit a strong spirit💪🏾
This is one of those stories that make very intriguing movies. You can't knock the hustle, because there are underlying conditions that lead these guys into behaviors that all stem from just wanting to survive in a callous world. Unique is very intelligent. He learned at an early age how to survive in the jungle.
He migrated from Jamaica to America & learned very early how to Survive off of selling drugs to his own people! A Real Salt of the Earth Guy! A true Coming to America Story of a little migrant boy full of aspiration, hard work and work ethic Achieving the American dream! 😔
I know of/knew the interviewer Cavario Hunter…great writer “Raised By Wolves”, and NY legend himself…super happy to hear him conducting this interview ❤
My G is speaking all FACTS 💯 coming from a G- out of Miami Dade County that lived in that 80's Era. Salute my G.
Trill interview, respect.
amazing story/interview!!!

This is the best interview from Carvario that I've seen. I'm glad that vlad let him conduct the interview. I remember Kemba and her trial.
i agree with you sometime vlad asks some shitty questions
@@tyronewilkins162. Vlad interview like the po po.
Definitely…
Damn 3 hrs 🔥
He brought that swag to the 7 cities, them summers in 90 and 91 was wild in VA Beach. It was like every cat getting money from NY and DC down to Atl was out there on the strip. Alot of prisons were built because of those VA summers.
They could make a movie or series off this interview alone
When he started naming DMV geography AND was on point wit it..i knew he was legit
Facts
Nothing but knowledge. This man just took us to school
Solid grimey gangster real dude salute unique

Big Gene always speaks so highly of this dude
@@jaseallenson316 who is Big Gene, if you don't mind me asking?!! This Unique guy can really tell a story but his personality is so dope that I just found him refreshing.
@@brendajones8374 gene deal aka former bodyguard for bad boy
@brendajohenes8374 he was Diddy's personal Bodyguard
I would actually watch every interview if it was time stamped
Then don’t watch it
@@Romy16. I haven’t you muppet

His story is so deep he got the interviewer talking with his accent
THAT'S WHATS UP!!!!! BIG UP TO THAT YOUNG LAWYER!!!!!! NOW SEASONED....
Inspirational stories , not even the negative part but how they was Motivating. Shout out to the legends carrying on tradition
Which part of these stories were not negative..👀👌🏽👍✌🏿???
THIS IS INSPIRING????
This is the type of guy most these Dudes look up to! That’s their Hero! I guess they are inspired to do 30years in prison 🤷🏽♀️😂😂
I know one thing Mecca is the one whom created the slogan: 🗣 Ayo!!!.....Aight!
And doesn't get enough credit for that.
Unique solid dude
As a Clarendonian Jamaica,ur humbleness is intoxicating King,dat how real men do it,do ur crime,enjoy di life,den wen yu fuck up,do ur time same way,happiness point fi me is how proud his momma is/was of him,about time momma can relax now,

Legendary interview
Fascinating dude 😎✌️
Great respect telling the youth without disrespect no one
VERY SOLID OG 🤝💯🔥 TOO BAD NOW DAYS PEOPLE DON'T RESPECT ANYBODY AND CAN'T BE LEGIT AND HANDLE THEIR OWN SHIT WITHOUT TAKING SOMEONE ELSE WITH THEM.
It's always been like that. Since Jesus and Judas.. It ain't NEVER been Honor Amongst Thieves.
Mitigating circumstances is positive. Aggravating circumstances is negative and brings more time.
GREAT ONE 💥💥💥💥
the cat thing is interesting as a uk born Jamaican descendent i always greet cats outside but hes right in the fact cats dwell in darkness haha
Vlad the consistency is very much appreciated ! I work from home and these keep me up, up, up !!!!
Damnn 3 Hours, y’all was talkin all night😂😂😂 Respect to the OGz
I’m absolutely loving the code switching between American English and Jamaican Patois
Great Video Caverio
This is most definitely a unique guy. God bless him....
😂You know what I mean
Jamaica remains a struggle, it rough dung ya give thanks vlad TV for interviewing this bredda
I wonder if the character from Power Book II Mecca is named after this guy
What makes JRE podcast soo great is he doesn’t interrupt until the person finish what they are saying,
This man’s voice sounds like a character Tracy Morgan did on Crank Yankers called Spoonie Luv
Spoonie Luv from up above 😫
The Song “ White Lines” By The Grand Master Melly Mel Confirms The Times He Explaining.
