In this full-length interview from 2023, Jabari "Miles" Hayes looks back on his upbringing from the housing projects in New York City to becoming a track star at Morehouse College in Atlanta, where he linked up with the criminal organization BMF and began trafficking drugs for them. He also talks about the impact of his concurrent prison sentences for racketeering, which resulted in him being behind bars for nearly six years, and how his pitfalls inspired the making of his critically acclaimed book 'Miles In The Life.'

As the conversation unfolds, the author/movie producer explains what it was like to live in the housing projects of NYC just before the crack/cocaine era hit the neighborhood. He also shares what it was like to hustle for his father. Moving along, Jabari recounts being "drug searched" by a drug-sniffing K-9 unlawfully before explaining to Cavario what "Big Game Hunters" are in law enforcement. Lastly, Jabari talks about the infamous BMF raids of the mid-2000s, which resulted in the arrests of him, Big Meech, and Southwest T. For more, scroll up and press play.
