^ Pay attention to the faces in the video.
Sneakbo is a rapper and a 'musically reformed' young shooter from Brixton. These are the kids who grew up on the estates of Angell Town (A-Town), Myatt's Field (Baghdad), Somerleyton (Siraq/Siru), Loughborough and elsewhere in Lambeth. They are a generation or two beneath the Brixton born, Jamaican posse-affiliated youths of the 1980s and 1990s -
the crack babies.
Did his thing when Brixton had beef with certain crews from Peckham (SI aka Shoot Instant - I'll mention them in a bit.) Had/has about 50-60 young youths running around on madness and they called themselves Gas Gang. The beef was serious at one point, and they were kinda the most hated/loved underdogs.
After a few years of gun bussing and beefing Sneakbo managed to dodge death a few times. A young G from Peckham called Young Size is rumoured to have put a burner to him, other people said the cat thing but I think that's ducktales myself. Here's a video of Size looking for Gas Gang kids at the height of the beef in the middle of 'Baghdad' early one morning...
"fukk your obeah, leave your with an open scar"
These were the guys Sneakbo was beefing at the time. Serious killers in that crew, more organized than Gas Gang were too. A lot of G's from Peckham were mixed up in the magic stuff too, there's lots of stuff about that online.
The Peckham/Brixton beef has filled a a lot of Juju/Obeah men's pockets.. A lot of murders went down, and again people managed to beat insane charges - Peckham has a reputation for this - and the African connection there means people always want say it's something deeper. Maybe it is?
Whatever the case, Sneakbo appeared 'invincible' to the kids around him and thanks to the internet his name started getting out. Then he got stabbed by a kid called Lil Zac (Zac Olumegbon) from Tulse Hill, which is basically Brixton - and to make it worse, the kid was like 5'0. So at the height of his street fame, he gets touched up and hospitalized by a kid from around the way.
Lil Zac ^
They had all grown up in the same area but street politics got heavy and yeah....Sneakbo is back out of hospital after a few days and recording hood videos in no time. Kids online are saying shyt like:
"evryone knows sneaks is a offical why do you think hes hated by almost everyone in south.
hes a a bad yout thoe. how can he gets stabbed 14 times by them lower tulse youts then come out hospital next dai like a real boss dun kno lol."
"BRUV MY MAN ROLLED UP 2 A SHHOT OUT HIM N BOOST WITHOUT A GUN ON SUMMNER RD MAN WAS DER IT WAS MAD I R8 HIM N I LIVE IN NARM STR8 I WAS GOIN CFC 2 GET MY CHICKEN N HIM N BOOST WERE ON SUM MAD shyt R8INGS FROM ME N IF U DNT BLIVE ME IF UNO NE1 IN PECKY ASK DEM DAT Y DEY SCARED HE HARD 2 KIIILLLLLL"
"I'm with some soldiers that got stabbed and ain't dead" - Political Peak, his ride or die at the time.
Also featured in the video is Younger Sneaky aka JJ aka J-Kid. JJ was a young, short kid like Zac who ran with gangs and got money and Sneakbo was his 'older' G. Now JJ was TINY like Zac. Some young bucks from Peckham linked with Young Size kidnapped him - literally lifted him off his feet and robbed him for his shyt.
So now Gas Gang is taking violations, Sneakbo got stabbed, his young buck got robbed...
Listen to 0:23 seconds in that video above and you will hear the line:
"Violations,
Young Clicks rise sticks (guns)/
Beef who fam? Can't beef my click/
Money's power so you can't take my chick
And someone soon dead, I told you, I'm psychic
Now despite what what happening to Gas Gang, Sneakbo is still a hard young buck with some real crazy youngers running with him - namely
Helder 'Mad H' Demorais and
Ricardo 'Maggy' Giddings. There is a whole batch of hardcore young Gs I could name, but whatever. Maggy was also known as 'Samurai Jack' for running around Brixton with swords bigger than him.
If you saw these two on your block the Devil might as well have sent them. These kids had guys 10 years older fearing them. Both of these kids were putting in CRAZY work for their age group at the time and they were never going to tolerate their older G (still only like 17 at this time) getting violated.
So one morning they rode out to Zac's school, stabbed a few people at the front doors and then chased Zac down outside into a dead-end street and killed him. The streets (via Youtube) talked LOUD and a lot of 'information' was put out online about the killers.
You can kinda tell who did it from the expressions on the faces - top left is Mad H, right Maggy, then JJ and Clicka. I feel bad for them, because they were
all caught in a world they had no control over - a point I'll return to.
Deepest hing is after the killing, not only do those involved get arrested quickly (and start snitching on each other) but Sneakbo finds out from family that he is RELATED to Zac..They were cousins and they didn't know...
This shyt not only caused MAD beef between Brixton and Tulse Hill, and it's also divided the formerly linked up estates. Sneakbo has kinda hit the fame - getting shoutouts from Drake, opening up for him etc. Meanwhile his day-one ride-out squad is doing a long time in prison and his cousin - and onetime enemy is dead.
Top right is Mad H, left is Maggy, bottom right JJ and Clicka bottom left. Another kid got locked for driving the car but got away.
So they say this stuff has a cost. Sneakbo has lost maybe 10+ friends to death/prison in half as many years
plus a cousin that he never really knew. He has money, but people still really want him dead. He's got some new young shooters around him, but they're dropping fast. Google 'Dwayne SQ Simpson'...
London is on some Chicago shyt right now, and I wish I could say that wasn't the case. Kids are dying to catch a rep, guns are flowing and trap life is where the kids think it's at. Somerleyton doesn't fukk with A-Town no-more, the politics is crazy.
A chaotic life leads people to attempt to organize that chaos in whatever ways they can. That includes the dark arts, unfortunately. Some people go to church.
You can watch a documentary on Gas Gang and the Lil Zac murder if you want.
Bottom line is these things all have consequences, if they do exist. R.I.P all the young G's who have passed due to fukkery.
