In November 2015, VladTV sat down with Chicago rapper King Yella to talk about the violent state of his hometown. “This Chicago s**t crazy,” he said. Vlad and King Yella spoke about the history of gun violence in Chicago, starting with Al Capone in the 20’s and 30’s and continuing with the “senseless” killings that take place today.
