Episode Description
The veil lifts on a shocking story of betrayal, abuse, and corruption as respected Staten Island figure Elliott Carterr reveals disturbing truths about once-influential Blood leader Rameen "Ise Kream" Smith. This raw conversation exposes how a man who commanded respect throughout New Brighton's Tombstone Gangsters used fear and intimidation to mask predatory behavior.
Mr. Carterr, a Staten Island podcaster with firsthand prison experiences alongside Ise Kream, shares court documents revealing the gang leader's arrest for sexually abusing a child under 13. The allegations are horrific—showing pornography to a minor, inappropriate touching, and more—all while Smith maintained his position of authority within the community. The 39-year-old's criminal activities eventually extended to betraying his own code, taking a proffer agreement to cooperate against fellow gang member "Tone."
The conversation reveals an even more disturbing family pattern, with Ise Kream's brother Jatiek "Bad Blood" Smith allegedly approaching inmates with bizarre proposals to cooperate against them in exchange for financial support. According to news reports, both brothers have histories of sexual crimes against minors, using their gang affiliations as shields against accountability. The discussion highlights how power dynamics within gang structures can enable abusers while silencing victims and witnesses through fear of retaliation.
Though some in New Brighton still support Ise Kream despite these revelations, most of Staten Island has turned against him now that the truth has emerged. This powerful episode serves as both a warning about false leaders and a testament to breaking the silence that protects predators. As Chyna Brim states, "I don't wish jail on a lot of people, but I wish jail on him."
