On this episode of the Chicago Blue Print Podcast, we sit down with Wesley King — a former Vice Lord who lived the street life at its rawest level.
Shot at just 14 years old and involved in a shooting at 15, Wesley shares the unfiltered truth about growing up in Chicago’s gang culture, the reality of juvenile detention and prison, and the mental toll that comes with that life.
Now, he’s turned his past into purpose — working in community violence intervention, mentoring youth, and using his voice to steer the next generation away from the streets. As an author of three books, he’s also using “gang literature” to educate and reach those who are still caught in that lifestyle.
This is not a glorified story — this is the real cost of the streets, told by someone who lived it.
