--------
In a revealing interview with DJ Vlad, former Sinaloa Cartel insider El Primo candidly discussed his journey from Detroit’s streets to the upper echelons of the drug trade. El Primo explained that his entry into the cartel was driven by a lack of legitimate opportunities in America, forcing him to seek “funding” from the cartel. While acknowledging the destructive nature of cocaine in his old neighborhood, he compared the drug trade to legal businesses like liquor, arguing that capitalism inherently involves some collateral damage. Reflecting on his 20 years in the game and subsequent prison time, El Primo expressed no desire to return but emphasized the business acumen required to operate in that world. Now a civilian and author of *El Primo: Black Hand of the Sinaloa Cartel*, he shares insights on the cartel, politics, and his past on his YouTube channel, firmly distancing himself from illegal activity going forward.
