Original Black Mafia Family member Dexter (Sosa) Hussey did his time for his crime and now he has a story to tell. The 53-year old Hussey, a native of Detroit and four years removed from a prison stint stemming from his involvement in the historic Operation Motor City Mafia case, has released a memoir focusing on the early-days of “BMF.” Co-authored with Kal Williams, Blueprint to Conspiracy – The Untold Story of the Black Mafia Family, dropped as a kindle download on Amazon.com last week.
Brothers Demetrius (Big Meech) Flenory and Terry (Southwest T) Flenory founded what became known around the world as BMF in the early 1990s on Motown’s Southwest side in the shadow of the Ambassador Bridge, eventually expanding outside of Michigan and building a transcontinental narcotics-trafficking organization the likes of which, both in scope and cultural impact, had never been witnessed before and hasn’t since. Big Meech relocated to Atlanta. His brother moved out west to Los Angeles. Hussey stayed behind in Detroit and helped head BMF operations at Ground Zero.
According to Hussey’s memoir, the group was first called the Rushtown Crew and then The 50 Boys prior to settling on the BMF moniker. Authorities estimated the organization at its peak in the mid 2000s was roughly 1,000 men strong scattered across 17 different states. The Flenorys and dozens of their lieutenants and associates were brought down in 2005’s crippling Operation Motor City Mafia indictment. Hussey was arrested in 2007 in a superseding indictment.
Sosa Hussey initially got involved with thr Flenory Brothers after he was invited to a gambling party by one of the biggest named hustlers in Detroit at that time. Sosa asked him if it was cool if he brought some of his people with him; they okayed it.
That night Meech and T took the house for almost 100 Grand on the crap table! Even after the business relationship with the two brothers from the Eastside. Sosa was constantly being introduced to other guys who were in the business.
This was one of the ways Sosa, Meech, and T got into selling weight. This was also how Dexter originally got the name “Sosa”. There was a produce fruit market on the corner of 6 miles and Schaefer on the Westside of Detroit where every time the Chicago Bulls came to town some of the players would come there to gamble. All the hustlers and pro athletes knew about the fruit stand.
Guys like “White Boy” Rick Werchin, Demetrius Holloway, Butch Jones, and other big street players knew what kind of potential monies that might fall through the spot on any giving night. Meech and T earned a solid reputation as professional gamblers since one of their greatest skills were at the craps table. Terry was becoming his own man outside his brother’s shadow as time went on though they did mostly all their moves together as a unit.
