In My Lifetime
DEHAVEN: In My Lifetime, published by McKinley Brayden Publishing, is a powerful and unfiltered journey through survival, loyalty, betrayal, and transformation. From the heart of Marcy to the battles faced in the pursuit of a better life, this book offers a front-row seat into the realities many live — but few ever share publicly.

In My LifeTime
Know The History Behind That Chain
I’ve always kept my jewelry game up since high school. From gold teeth to three finger rings. I didn’t cop my first real piece until I sold my first half of brick. I was dealing with these Russian cats named Al & Tony in Trenton. They were making custom pieces for some of the top hustlers in the game.
Al showed me a 👑 crown he made for Midget Molly from Atlantic City! He was a legend in the streets. Al designed my first piece, it was a three dimensional king cobra🐍
Shit was sick!!
The rope cost 5 bands and the piece cost me 10 more! Spending $15,000 on the neck and just turning 20yrs old wasn’t bad. A month later I went back to Al for a piece because Jay’s birthday was coming up and I wanted to surprise the shit out of him.
So Al puts this crazy anchor joint together for Jay and I’m getting Jay sized for his gold fronts done in all diamonds too. I knew he was going to go bananas! I was just worried about whether he was going to like it or not and hoping nobody would try to take it.
When his birthday came, I took Jay down to see Al & Tony on some off the wall shit, like I was buying something for one of my shorties. We get down to the shop and Tony bust out with the custom anchor and chain. I’m screaming happy birthday kid, it was bananas!! Jay was lit!!
I couldn’t wait for us to show off our shit together, we was representing NY for sure . We lived that life of stars before it was televised and you couldn’t tell us shit!!
Then not too long after that , I did the same for Panama! Later on, down the road, I would bring Emory down to Trenton and he got a custom diamond 💎 Emory chain made...that was Super Dope.
That shit took us to a new level. People respected my movement as a TEAM! We was showing niggas that we getting real money💰, which made a stronger statement!!
