Azie Faison: The Man Alpo couldn't kill

Azie Faison: The Man Alpo couldn't kill Azie Faison was shot nine times and survived — the only member of Harlem's most legendary drug crew to make it out alive. This is the true story behind Azie Faison, Alpo, and Rich Porter, the real-life inspiration for the movie Paid in Full, and how three teenagers from 147th Street built a cocaine empire that moved over 100 kilos a month through six blocks of Central Harlem. In the mid-1980s, Harlem's old drug kingpins — Nicky Barnes and Frank Lucas — were gone, leaving behind a power vacuum. Azie Faison, Alpo Martinez, and Rich Porter filled it, building a fortune in Dapper Dan custom leather, luxury cars, and diamond jewelry before the same fame that made them legends turned them into targets. This video covers the full true crime story: Azie Faison's rise as a teenage cocaine dealer, the kidnapping and murder of Rich Porter's younger brother Donald, the 1987 shooting that left Azie Faison with nine bullet wounds, Alpo's betrayal and murder of his best friend Rich Porter, Alpo's years in witness protection, and his 2021 unsolved murder back on the streets of Harlem. Of the three men who once ruled uptown Manhattan, only Azie Faison is still alive today.
