The Black Republik

Memoirs of a Gangsta

September 27, 2020 • The Black Republik • Season 1 • Episode 6

During episode 6 of The Black Republik, Bleep and Storm sit down with LA Street Legend, Skipp Townsend and talk about his life as Westside 20's Blood Gang member and how he ended up getting multiple LA gangs to agree to cease-fires. Skipp is likely responsible for saving hundreds of lives as a result of these agreements, and has saved thousands through his own organization: 2nd Call. Skipp takes us on a trip down his memory lane and gives a history lesson on LA Gangs and ends it with noting how social media and gentrification affect the gang culture during this generation. Skipp's community efforts are unmatched and it was an honor to have him on the show. Be sure to check out the 2nd Call website at www.2ndcall.org and their Instagram page @2ndcallwolfpack
