From No Jumper Interview to RICO in 12 Hours..

What’s poppin y’all,

No Jumper getting hit with a RICO case is wild. To clarify—it’s not No Jumper the entity itself, but key figures associated with the platform, including Bricc Baby, Luce Cannon, and Big U, who have all been named in a federal indictment. With Bricc Baby being a co-host, this raises serious concerns—not just for No Jumper, but for other gangs in the surrounding region.

No Jumper has built itself into a platform deeply tied to gang culture, giving artists and street figures a space to talk about their opps, blocks, and sets. For many, it was a way to elevate their voice, build a platform, and possibly transition into something bigger. But if doing so comes at the cost of their freedom, it forces a bigger conversation about whether the risk is worth it.

Now, to be clear: Adam22 isn’t the one getting these guys locked up. But the feds are openly acknowledging that they’ve been keeping up with these interviews, podcasts, and online activity. This doesn’t necessarily mean the death of No Jumper, but a serious pivot may be necessary. Gang-affiliated content has been a major part of the platform, and with figures like Wack100—who has his own issues with Big U—being a staple in their ecosystem, this could shift the direction of their content entirely.

I said it in the video (dropping in a few hours): we’re in the decade of cases. Civil cases, criminal cases, RICO charges—rappers and street figures are getting locked up left and right. While all of this makes for gripping future documentaries (which is right up your lane given your work in music content), it’s alarming how much violence, extortion, and crime exist right under our noses in a genre we all love.
