Video After The Jump
In the mid 1980's Azie "A.Z." Faison, Rich Porter and Alpo Martinez were at the top of the cocaine trade in Harlem. But like most stories about drug dealers this one doesn't have a happy ending.
Azie was shot nine times during a 1987 home invasion robbery, which made him decide to retire from the game.
On January 3, 1990, Rich was murdered by Alpo. After getting arrested in 1991, Alpo turned government witness. He is under federal witness protection following his 2015 release from prison
Azie's life story was told in the 2002 movie "Paid in Full."
Azie recently sat down with VladTV to talk about his early life, including dropping out of school in the 9th grade, stashing guns, money and drugs for Rich Porter at the cleaners where he worked at and meeting the Dominican plug who got him started in the cocaine business.
