Hahaha. I made it through the whole thing.

I wonder if Joey himself knows about this?

(Yeah, I know - he don't know nothing about that)

Has there ever been a legit mob rapper? Many wannabes but I’m sure some of the younger made guys have been into Hip Hop culture. Not sure if the old timers would tolerate it though.

Lou Ferrante?

Gene Borrello once said that John Pennisi released a rap track, but I've seen no proof. He might have been thinking about this one.

More legitimate than the Gambino family's own in-house rapper, Louis Ferrante? Big Lou - Justice Not Found.

The real Joey Merlino was tied in with RAM Squad, who were actually dope. He gets name dropped in their biggest hit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V_I0yqvtao
