Welcome back to another episode of Ali'cia Shanise Reviews!
In Part 1 of this three-part documentary series, we begin exploring the story of Brooklyn's infamous Cash Money Brothers (CMB), led by Damion "World" Hardy and his brother Wise out of the Lafayette Gardens Houses.
This episode examines the origins of the organization, the influence of New Jack City, how the CMB name was adopted, and the image that helped build one of Brooklyn's most recognized street crews during the 1990s. We also discuss the early years of World and Wise, the environment that shaped them, and the foundation that would eventually lead to CMB's rise.
Throughout this series, we'll separate documented facts from street legend by examining court records, historical sources, and the events that helped define one of Brooklyn's most talked-about organizations.
This is Part 1 of a three-part documentary series.
