Born and raised in Jersey City, Big Brizzle grew up the youngest of six — with a nine-year gap that shaped how he looked at the world. Athletic, book smart, and influenced by his older brothers, Brizzle’s path shifted early. By 13, he was already in and out of jail.
What started as strong-arming quickly turned into stick-ups, hustling, and eventually becoming known as a “work horse” in the streets and inside the system. His reputation was built on being fearless — from crushing rivals to clashing with police and COs — and he lived by simple rules: don’t touch me and hold your tongue.
From 2001 to 2006, he did a bid that solidified his name. By his own words, he spent more than half his life behind bars. But today, things look different. Having been home a little over two years — his second-longest stretch of freedom since age 13 — Brizzle is focused on building. He tried real estate, passed the test, but was denied his license. Now he’s working in the construction union and looking ahead to new opportunities.
This is the story of Big Brizzle — from decades of incarceration and a life defined by taking, to a man determined to build something real.
