In this powerful and emotional episode of Situations With Moon, Tony Lewis Jr. speaks on growing up in Hanover Place NW Washington, D.C. during the height of the crack epidemic. As the son of infamous drug kingpin Tony Lewis Sr., he witnessed firsthand the devastation of mass incarceration, addiction, and violence. But instead of following in his father’s footsteps, Tony Jr. became a fierce advocate for returning citizens, youth mentorship, and systemic change in the very community that raised him. He shares stories of survival, transformation, and the rare support he’s received from Pusha T, and a powerful co-sign from Pharrell, who said he is “the definition of never giving up.”
 
This is more than just a story about the streets — it’s a legacy of resilience, redemption, and real DC.
