Part 2: Roger Bonds on Surviving His Beef with Preacher AKA "The Black Hand of Death"
--------
Roger Bonds sat down for his first-ever VladTV interview, and Shawn Prez started off by speaking about their longstanding friendship. Roger talked about growing up in Harlem on 155th Street, and he explained that his parents had five kids between them. Roger added that his life began when he was 12 and realized that his father wasn’t coming home, which led to him getting heavy in the street life. Shawn pointed out that Roger was known as a “thorough street dude,” and Roger went on to speak about having a rough time when he was living with his parents in the home. He added that this led to him wanting to be out of the home and in the streets.
Moving along, Roger talked about growing up in the Polo Grounds projects during the crack era before explaining his fascination with gun culture. Roger reveals that he earned his name "Bonds" due to his proficiency with a firearm and his admiration for the famous James Bond character. This prompts his long-time friend, Shawn Prez, to admit that even he didn't know Bonds wasn't his real name. Moving along, Roger talks looks back on his days as a drug dealer before sharing some of the tactics that he used to lead his crew. Lastly, Roger spoke about knowing Rich Porter and Alpo Martinez, who he pointed out were in high school when they were getting big money in the streets. When asked about Rich Porter's death, Roger revealed that he was locked up when he heard the news, and he added that he wasn't surprised when he heard that Alpo was behind his death.
