Today we sit down with the one and only Mr. Black for a great conversation on everything about his life and the Seven Crowns Organization. We get into all the myths surrounding the Seven Crowns. One Myth according to him is that Lance Feurtado was not a member of the Seven Crowns. We talk about how he joined the Seven Crowns and grew it to be one of the biggest gangs in Queens during its most active years. After lamenting his status as the president, his involvement in crime went so deep that he started doing armed robberies of banks and burglary as well. This landed him a first-class ticket to being arrested and later being convicted of 18 years. With all that going on, the Seven Crowns still tried to help the community in a positive way. They protested to keep the summer youth program intact for the youth and even helped keep families facing eviction in their respective homes. No Doubt, the Seven Crowns were a gang that later became a movement that is still remembered to this day. Even our Mayor Eric Adams was a part of the organization in his formative years.
