Show Notes

Most people think they understand Jamaican gang culture—until they hear the true story of Rohan “Don” Gordon.
He rose from street enforcer to the feared successor of Jim Brown, commanding Tivoli Gardens through brute force, cocaine routes, and political intimidation. But his crown came at a cost.
Why did his own allies turn against him after a mysterious tape leaked?
Who really ordered the hit that killed him under Kingston’s blood-soaked streets?
And why did the system that built him decide to bury him?This isn’t just a story about gangs. It’s about betrayal at the highest levels of politics and international crime.
Would you survive in a kingdom where loyalty ends in gunfire?
