learned first-hand that the streets only got temporary wins. They had one of the biggest rappers out the Chi and had the respect and members that were some of the city’s most savage hitters. But oh how the mighty have fallen. Now, they’ve lost the war, and even worst, most of their crew. One of the biggest falls from grace witnessed in plain sight. Let’s chop it up and break it down.

The Chicago gang, Fly Boy Gang widely known as FBG is mainly associated with STL/EBT on 63^rd & St Lawrence. 

What many people don’t know is that FBG wasn’t even the original name. The founding members FBG Dutchie 

and FBG Young 

had the name GMB but a crew in their school in 8^th grade already had the name so they changed it to what we know today as Fly Boy Gang aka FBG and was mainly to push music at the time https://youtu.be/q3h-STWrftU (9:27-9:52) 

Duck was among the OGs of the group when it started. I don’t know if the 3 of em knew just how big a movement they began back then https://youtu.be/q3h-STWrftU (9:14-9:24) The youngins were creative with it too. Wanting to separate themselves from just a regular degular crew, they did somn different giving each member numbers to their names https://youtu.be/q3h-STWrftU (10:03-10:18) As time went, FBG became something huge with many popular trappers turned rappers getting their numbers. While the exact order and numbering of each member is sketchy, some platforms online give incite on who got what numbers. Verifying each member number you’d have to go to the founders for that

FBG was on the rise. The crew got huge but some of the main members and affiliates of the movement was Dutchie, Young, Duck, 

Duck’s older brother FBG Brick 

Young’s older brother FBG Cash

Wooski

Butta & KI

King Yella

FBG Creed

Lil Jay

And Billionaire Black

Chicago drill was taking form and opps like Keef and Durk nem was gaining traction. The music went from being a way out but also to taught the opps and FBG wasn’t gonna sit back and take disrespect from no one. FBG Duck would come out swinging with FBG Anthem “Wild Out” https://youtu.be/lc8qxtfM2RQ and FBG Young and Dutchie who back then went by the rap alias Djay and Mello dropped the banger “Hitter Muzik” https://youtu.be/Sw9dEE_VFao 

That was the beginnings of what would become one of the few groups able to rival popularity on the mic with the opps. Keef was the first to make it big, Durk and Reese nem was next to get that spotlight on a grand scale

But FBG had their trump card, Big Clout FBG Duck who became a big dog in the streets and had the respect and power that took the FBG brand into fame status. Concerts, Schools, Duck was doing his thing https://youtu.be/t6pWNcOQo-w (3:30-3:56) https://youtu.be/RcpIefgckbc (0:09-0:27) https://youtu.be/dj2rwyZtA4U (1:14-1:27)

FBG Young’s pops known as Manny 

would launch Clout Boyz Entertainment with the intention of signing FBG artists

In 2013, FBG Young and FBG Dutchie would drop the music video for hood banger “Murda” and you can see everyone from Wooski to KI to Duck in the video and the crew rocking the Clout Boyz Entertainment Merch https://youtu.be/1PfM8cj5NBg 

In a ZackTV interview with Dutchie and Young, credit was given to Dutchie as the one who came up with the Clout Boyz Entertainment name. It originated from his time in the pen and when he got home he stamped and sealed it with the gang https://youtu.be/7c6nnMCMJWM (1:06-1:30) 

It was looking like FBG was a well-oiled machine that was taking over the streets and the air waves, but popular urban news YouTuber Trenches News 

exposed that allegedly, there were red flags of FBG’s demise early on. According to him, he was with them at the start of their rise and was helping take the group to the top with things like getting their songs on the radio and getting them show gigs. That’s where he noticed the first real red flag of their fall offs. It was a show in Indiana he got them.

The promoter allegedly paid Manny 7500 racks to bring Duck, Billionaire Black, Creed and Lil Jay and gave let em handle the door and keep whatever they got at the door. According to Trenches News, Manny set it up so the person he put at the door would take all the money and split it with him https://youtu.be/7Mjd-nwKxBM (9:48-10:59) But hold up, Trenches News claims that Manny tried to swindle Duck nem and only said he paying em $75 and cause of that Lil Jay wasn’t going to show and it was him and KI that had to go convince Lil Jay to slide through https://youtu.be/7Mjd-nwKxBM (11:00-11:31) The rest of the crew like Creed who performed was being offered $25 while Manny was hoarding all the paper for himself and his kids https://youtu.be/7Mjd-nwKxBM (11:33-11:46)

Seems that wasn’t all going on behind the scenes. Duck was blowing up and that hate started to creep in some of em veins cause of that https://youtu.be/7Mjd-nwKxBM (8:29-8:42) https://youtu.be/7Mjd-nwKxBM (9:16-9:47)

Maybe that was something that could smoothen out over time, but once the opps started getting the opper hand in the beef, it would lead to the one keeping everything together to lose his life. It started with someone who wasn’t FBG but was close with em, especially Duck. Tooka

was Duck homie for real and when he was murked on January 12^th 2011 at the bust stop in 63rd and St. Lawrence in the Woodlawn neighbourhood

https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-xpm-2011-01-14-ct-met-teen-killed-0114-20110114-story.html

that started FBG’s path to self-destruction https://youtu.be/bhSjKK-UlyU (4:49-6:01)

Founding member FBG Young recalls that hit as the first body that really had a huge impact https://youtu.be/NrLp__V8uCY (0:21-0:27)

From there the beef just kept taking until it chipped and chipped the FBG gang. April 2014 the woman they call the female assassin followed Tooka to the grave when they caught her lackin and ended her life https://youtu.be/yXSiuDFyW7s (0:43-1:08) 

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2015/7/23/18588969/garkirah-barnes-teenage-female-assassin-gangster-disciples-chicago-gang-hitta

There’s been heavy debate about if she was really like that in the streets, but one things for certain her name even made national news for being a shooter and assassin https://youtu.be/gZUM4YbCS88 (1:38-1:59) After O Block gangster Dayvon Bennett aka King Von’s passing, cops would release documents labelling the FBG opp as the shooter 

It was like a domino effect of bad news. According to Trenches News, FBG Duck, the one that made FBG popular to the masses began distancing himself from the crew, only later we’d find out why. Billionaire Black also allegedly distanced himself from the crew https://youtu.be/7Mjd-nwKxBM (14:10-12:24)

Things started to look shaky for FBG, but in the public eye, they was giving O Block nem a run for their money with Big Clout at the fore front. But slowly, the losses hit closer and closer to home. July 2017, FBG Duck’s older brother, Jermaine Robinson aka FBG Brick 

was murked in the 6300 block of South St. Lawrence. His older brother Jermain Robinson was shot and killed in a double homicide in Woodlawn on the South Side in 2017

Not only was FBG Duck hurting, 

but momma Duck had to bear the hurt of her son being lost to the deadly feud in the streets https://www.reddit.com/r/Chiraqology/comments/i5lz4b/fbg_bricks_murder_scene_and_chilling_sound_coming/ 

FBG was getting attacked from all angles, externally and internally. Turns out Lil Jay started doing some foul things to the click and acting brand new. Bro was milking the Clout Boyz brand and even was nicknamed King Clout, but what’s worse, broke was like the sticky bandits even stealing from Duck himself https://youtu.be/7Mjd-nwKxBM (14:25-14:49) https://youtu.be/zOJeLgB36ro (8:00-825) Duck saved him from being murked by his partnas but instead gave the greenlight to put paws on Lil Jay https://youtu.be/zOJeLgB36ro (8:33-8:55)

With all that happening, his place in the crew got x’d out especially after he went to the pen https://youtu.be/zOJeLgB36ro (2:02-2:40) He came out on his own wave continuing to push his own movement and cut FBG off https://youtu.be/C_K1oca_Ce8 (18:33-19:07)

The FBG numbers were falling, and with it, the crew was too. FBG Duck started realizing something fishy was going on with his Manager Manny. Turns out, bro was backdooring Duck with his contract and signed Duck to a bogus deal https://youtu.be/HsSsXte-lZM (5:23-5:43) According to Mama Duck, when FBG Duck realized bro was doing him dirty he wanted out his contract but Manny told bro no https://youtu.be/HsSsXte-lZM (8:50-9:38) Trenches News also told the same story about how Manny did Duck https://youtu.be/7Mjd-nwKxBM (17:00-17:17) Manny was holding Duck hostage and making all the bank while Duck wasn’t getting the money he deserved after taking FBG mainstream https://youtu.be/HsSsXte-lZM (6:56-7:14) FBG Duck’s track “Soul Burn” is allegedly inspired by the situation with him and Manny https://youtu.be/HsSsXte-lZM (8:00-8:10) https://youtu.be/Gj7unIWXLLs (1:19-1:48) 

Momma Duck said some devious allegations. Duck was in talks with Sony to sign a record deal and he thought the deal was legit. But what he didn’t know, was like Manny told the label that Duck signed to his Clout Boyz Entertainment and did up a bogus contract so now everything goes through him, label money and everything https://youtu.be/HsSsXte-lZM (6:21-6:52) She says Manny ain’t just using Duck and Clout Boyz Ent to be a front for his drug business, Momma Duck wasn’t playin no mo https://youtu.be/HsSsXte-lZM (3:37-3:54)

Even with all this, once Duck was still around, FBG had a fighting chance in the streets and music, but the striking blow for FBG would come on Tuesday 4^th August 2020. FBG Duck was assassinated in the Gold Coast area, a luxury and boutique shopping district near the city’s downtown https://youtu.be/7vTvRrpi5tI (0:31-1:46) https://youtu.be/WFPICCOv4zk (1:24-1:32) https://youtu.be/WFPICCOv4zk (4:14-5:07)

Cops arrested and charged 5 O Block members with the homicide – CHARLES LIGGINS aka “C Murda”

KENNETH ROBERSON aka “Kenny” or “Kenny Mac”

TACARLOS OFFERD also known as “Los”

CHRISTOPHER THOMAS aka “C Thang” 

And MARCUS SMART aka “Muwop” https://youtu.be/-tFCCS4KX2s (0:32-1:00)

Cops would release more reports, stating that King Von was the mastermind who put a 100K hit on Duck’s head top

Once Duck was gone, FBG really at that point went with him because he was the one putting the gang on the map. To make matter worse, FBG Young’s brother, FBG Cash also lost his life on June 10^th, 2022. Cash was in a vehicle with a shawty at approximately 5:30am in the 1600 block of W. 81st Street when a black four-door sedan pulled up, 

and a opp popped out and wet bro up https://youtu.be/V7zx4Bg9KkQ (0:00-0:15) 

FBG Cash didn’t make it

https://youtu.be/R7MIomS-qJA (0:00-0:25) https://youtu.be/GtIhnhPxAb8 (0:00-0:15) 

His brother FBG Young had become numb to all the friends lost, but when his own blood got murked, that one left a scar he couldn’t hide https://youtu.be/NrLp__V8uCY (3:11-3:27) https://youtu.be/NrLp__V8uCY (0:28-0:50)

All the main members who was the face of FBG was either dead, in jail, or just falling back and focusing on their life. Billionaire Black, King Yella, and Wooski are doing their own thing. Wooski was never really the same after surviving a headshot https://youtu.be/VCC4exTFJZI

Rumours are he called it quits with music, and who could blame him, many of the people he came up with gone. 

The sad thing is, even now Mama Duck claims she’s fighting for her son’s legacy. She tried to release a Duck album titled “He’s Back” 

but claims Manny had it taken down and still saying Duck is under contract so the music is his https://youtu.be/W6LLSFV6mUo (4:46-5:06) https://youtu.be/HsSsXte-lZM (2:54-3:41) She even says Manny owes Duck 800K https://youtu.be/W6LLSFV6mUo (6:07-6:30) Messed up to see where things have gone to for the FBG gang for real 

FBG Dutchie and FBG Young are trying to keep the FBG legacy going by continuing to work on music, but many have already given FBG the L and stopped talking about them like the notorious gang and movement they were. The streets took it all away. They were kids raised by the streets that made a crew which took over, now all of that is just a thing of the past, it all fell apart.

So there you have it. Thanks for kicking it with yah boy, appreciate the love and support. Catch ya’ll in the next one. Peace up and Peace Out
