🚨 The Gutter Report: Staten Island Gangsterism Exposed
When Community Dollars Fuel Street Power: The True 2 Life Allegations Against Mike “Iron Mic” Perry
📰 The YouTube Exclusive
LFTG Radio’s latest YouTube exclusive digs into explosive allegations from ST about True 2 Life — focusing on E-Man, Franko, and Mike “Iron Mic” Perry.
The YouTube Exclusive (Watch here: YouTube Interview)
According to ST, after E-Man assaulted him in front of police, Perry rewarded him with a cash bonus.
💰 Violence as Incentive?
ST alleges True 2 Life functions more like a street crew with city funding than a community program. His claims include:
E-Man receiving a bonus directly after the assault.
Franko operating as the group’s top enforcer and shooter.
E-Man and Franko arriving first at shooting scenes — allegedly not to help, but to intimidate witnesses before police investigations.
(These are allegations. None of the individuals named have been convicted of the claims mentioned.)
📸 Iron Mic & E-Man side by side — Iron Mic takes the mic in orange and black while E-Man leans on the street sign. A staged show of “leadership” that ST says hides intimidation and abuse.
🕵🏽 Firsthand Experience: Exploiting Vulnerable Women
Beyond street intimidation, I’ve personally witnessed how Mike “Iron Mic” Perry allegedly preys on vulnerable women in the community.
During my incarceration, my child’s mother was one of the women Perry targeted. While married, he used her for his own pleasure — even texting her on the day his son was born that he “wished it was her having his baby instead.”
And she wasn’t the only one.
According to what I’ve seen and experienced:
Perry allegedly targets grieving women after shootings, presenting himself as a “savior” while exploiting their pain.
Some of these women were even placed on the True 2 Life payroll, despite never working there. I personally saw paychecks issued to my child’s mother under this setup.
This raises serious questions about whether government funding is being misused for personal abuse.
🕶️ True 2 Life posing like a crew — Jackets, jeans, and hard stances. ST says this isn’t community work — this is a street organization dressed up as outreach.
🎯 E-Man front and center — ST names him as both an enforcer and first responder to shootings, allegedly there to intimidate witnesses before the police do their job.
👀 ST’s Perspective
ST says the system is using community dollars to fuel intimidation, not peace:
“They will do something because they have police protection… their job at shooting scenes is to check who’s outside and make witnesses scared.”
🫱🏻🫲🏽 Iron Mic’s reach into politics — With his arm around a politician while Nana accepts an award, Iron Mic shows how deep his influence goes. A reminder: this isn’t just the block, it’s City Hall.
⚖️ Accountability or Cover-Up?
The allegations now span two fronts:
Violence rewarded — with bonuses for assaults and intimidation.
Women exploited — with city-funded payrolls allegedly being used as cover for personal abuse.
If these claims are true, the question is unavoidable: Is this what Mayor Eric Adams’ government funding is supporting?
📢 Iron Mic & Swimi addressing the crowd — A public image of guidance, but behind the curtain ST alleges it’s manipulation, intimidation, and exploitation under the banner of community work.
📢 Bigger Than Staten Island
This Gutter Report raises a national issue: when anti-violence programs become fronts for intimidation and exploitation, who checks the power?
🗣️ Closing Word
“I don’t want to be a real nigga no more. I want to be a real man. But when the streets are funded to keep you in a box, the system writes your story for you.” — ST
⚡ Elliott Carterr’s Take
This Gutter Report YouTube exclusive is about accountability. Staten Island deserves answers:
Why are bonuses tied to violence?
Why are women being exploited under the cover of outreach?
And why is taxpayer money being used without transparency?
Good morning and Godspeed.
