Episode 9

Origin of the Crips in Los Angeles: Raymond Washington & Craig Craddock

On episode 9, Alex Alonso sits down with Lil Pierre and Tony Craddock who grew up on the Eastside of South Los Angeles with Raymond Washington, the founder of the Crips. Tony's older brother, Craig Craddock is considered co-founder of the Crips with Raymond. Lil Pierre and Tony Craddock explain everything they remember about the early history of the Crips and their direct role in the formation of the Castle Crips. If you remember watching the Pretty Boy interview, he mentions a guy that was Raymond Washington's driver when Pretty Boy was living next to Raymond on 76th Street. That was Pierre.
