James Jackson took over what was left of the Nicky Barnes/Guy Fisher org. A Leroy Butler took over Frank Lucas' area. A crop of younger dealers sprang up Stevie baker, West Indian Chuck, Cisco Kid, Kevin Chiles and a teenage crew of kids "L.A", "Do Wop" and "Craig O" and plenty others. The harlem dope game has always had notorious figures. You can look on youtube abput alot of that stuff, the 80s era is well documented.
