Note that Shams daBaron is the person that Manhattan DA candidate Alvin Bragg groveled and apologized to, for assumed mistreatment of Shams [by NYPD]. Shams would kill everyone in a room to get what he wanted, including respect he thinks he deserves after living a life of crime. NYC Mayoral candidate Maya Wiley also grovels and panders to this literal organized criminal, drug trafficker, *murderer*, extortionist, pro-cop shooter: Shams daBaron a/k/a Ramone Buford. The UNSOLICITED message below shows Shams/Ramone's loyalty to Davis, especially after receiving nearly millions from extorting and blackmailing wealthy prisoners and celebrities, all to produce movies and promote Larry Davis, who shot 6 cops serving a warrant, after Davis led life of VIOLENT crime. Davis would kill or harm anyone over anything, including a child, mother... ANYONE, and Shams knows this, because Shams lived with Davis. Davis took Shams in when Shams was homeless as a kid. Shams cheered on Davis as he hid out after shooting 6 cops, which Shams calls heroic, Nat Turner-ish: https://vimeo.com/2602643 OMG! And all would kill anyone, especially someone white, especially if it involves money. Shortly after meeting Davis: I was asked to kidnap a prisoner's mother, to keep her until funds extorted to Shams, Troy Reed, Tanya Robertson Taylor and Shams' brother, Rahiem Buford/Shabazz, a NYState Binghampton convict, who's also a guns and drugs trafficker. I immediately reported their crime attempt, a crime being solicited like candy to any hungry thug in NYC. That reporting of their crime, would lead to uncovering a world of grimy persons, who would all make both Dr. King and Malcolm X weep. I had no clue persons like Shams, Davis, Tanya Taylor and Reed existed after Civil Rights movement - rob, cheat and steal from your neighbor, then smile like a cat with rat in mouth holding cheese. And given I'd just seen white collar fraud, I couldn't see a difference between the two - both sit back and watch people suffer and die from their crimes, never attempt to make amends. Shams also shares the same email with his brother, Rahiem, if not using email services through Tanya Robinson/Robertson Taylor, who was one of the key players in connecting Davis to outside world, especially celebrities, *for* further promotion of NYPD cop shooter, murderer, extortionist and prison rapist. The message below was unsolicited. I wasn't seeking ANY answers from Shams, however,I was AND STILL AM seeking the money his crew stole [from me] to create, "Street Stars Presents" documentaries. Note in email, Shams never once concerned himself w/ my well-being, but wanted me to bow to his words, his crew. Yea, not gonna happen, ever, as I've seen their true hearts. Shams literally stalks all I write about him, to stay two steps ahead of PR and law enforcement, while wondering what my problem is. YOUR CREW STOLE MONEY, RAPED PRISONERS, THREATENED PRISONERS WITH RAPE FOR YOUR FINANCIAL COMFORTS, THEN EXHAUSTED LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH RED HERRINGS, AND FLED STATE. It's unfortunate that all NY State Inspector General Detectives - Bureau of Prisons/Narcotics Division are retired, especially Thomas Walsh. All that Davis, Shams, Raheim, Troy Reed, and Tanya Taylor did is all documented by NYState IG. They'd all be outraged at this organized crime crew's new political and "role model" status, 20-years later, while all are still exactly the same as they were 20-years ago.

However, I am unclear with why you have focused so much energy on attacking Larry. Perhaps, there are details about your experience that I am not aware of. However, I still don't see the point in attacking him. I just want to point out something: Larry is my brother and Fam 4 Life. We had creative and business differences and I had to let him make the moves he had to make on his own, but I don't think of him as a knucklehead. He was a musical genius and he taught me what I know about music. Forget the street stuff. This man, when he was out, did a lot of great things in terms of music and business. Unfortunately, his potential in that arena was cut short like so many other young Black men due to the influx of drugs into out communities. But, I will never regard him as knucklehead no matter how much He and I disagreed. There is so much more to that man than what you were exposed to and the general public. My goal is not to glorify the negative aspects of his story because that ain't about nothing. I try to present his story as a mirror to other young people who may be caught up in situations and not be intelligent or knowledgable enough to make the right decisions. You met my son. I am so proud of who he has become despite knowing who his Dad and his Dad's best friend used to be. Rememeber, I am a single parent and I am proud that my son is set to attend an HBC in the near future. Do some research. I been around a long time holding Larry down. I helped with his cases, even tesify FOR him. and helping him beat several cases. I did plenty of speaking engagements on his behalf back in those days. I have always done whatever I could to keep his name alive and yes, I will admit, that sometimes it left me extremely broke. See, none of that was about money. It was about helping my best friend and Fam 4 Life out because I know that had the shoes been on the other foot he would've done the same. I wish you got to see the real Larry Davis. You don't know how many people he took care of in prison. He would make me and others send money to our friends and Fam that are locked up, including my very own brothers. This was a major focus for him. Sometimes, I would have to remind him that I had to eat too. But he was concerned about the least fortunate and contrary to what many people thought, it was moreso than himself. For the record, Larry and I had a vision when we first decided to pursue entertainment ventures. When Troy Reed came on board, the vision shifted and this is where we differed. But it was a business and a creative difference, never a personal one. I have never betrayed Larry and I never will, not even in his death. Money will never been a motivating factor. I have made money, lost money and made it all again. I have done it the wrong way as well as the right way. I have an extensive history in Hip Hop and have made great contributions that may go unrecognized by the general public but trust and believe that I am acknowledged and respected for my contributions by all Hip Hop Pioneers. I would never value street life over real life. I am far too intelligent than that. I know that we were pawns in a much bigger game. I don't glorify Larry's situation. I speak of the tragedy of it. The fact that this man whose dream was to achieve fame and fortune in the music busines, became a dream deferred as a result of the scourge of crack. It pains me because I always rememeber that day when he found out I was homeless and with tears in his eyes invited me into his home and made me a memeber of his family. I will rep him until my death on the basis of that. I could care less about anything else. I speak on him for what he represents to me and ain't nothing fake about that. This is someone who really was there for me when no one else was. That's what motivates me to represent him in the way that I do. This is not uncharateristic of me. I have been doing this since his incarceration. Larry and I are like brothers. We shared the same room and the same dream. He had many friends and associates but I was his friend and partner in music. I know a side of him that you may not have been able to see because of his circumstances. In closing, I have no problem with you voicing your views. That's you right. But when it comes to me and Larry, please never make it look as though I don't have respect for that man. I have twelve blood-related brothers and none are as close to me as Larry. You are very intelligent and I hope you understand the spirit in which I write these words.
