At this rate, it’s highly unlikely he’ll ever see the outside world again. This former leader of Chicago’s Gangster Disciples is currently serving multiple life sentences at the prison known as ADX Florence, which has a reputation for being one of the most psychologically punishing correctional facilities in the entire world. After being charged with serious criminal activities in the 1970s, Larry would later be convicted of running the Gangster Disciples from inside his prison cell. That was in 1997 and every single day since then, Larry has been forced to spend 23-hours in solitary confinement. His case is widely regarded as hopeless because in order to be released he would need to obtain pardons at both the state and federal levels. Well, in order to accomplish just that, hip-hop superstars Drake and Kanye West recently set aside their widely publicized differences to throw a benefit concert in Larry’s name and raise awareness over his plight. So, how exactly did Larry Hoover’s reputation grow even larger from behind bars? And just why have Kanye and Drake teamed up to see him released? Those answers and more in our latest episode of Before They Were Famous. T.
