From exaggerated riot footage to biometric tracking and Palantir’s billion-dollar government contracts, it’s clear: the surveillance state isn’t coming—it’s already here.

In this interview with weed kingpin Corvain Cooper, we dive deep into the untold stories of hustlers, street codes, and the evolution of the game. Corvain shares raw and unfiltered experiences from the streets of Inglewood and South Central LA, the challenges of growing a multi-state weed operation, and the harsh realities of the legal system — from conspiracy charges to clemency battles.
