Aha! So this is the rebrand—the gang’s glow up, if you will. “Growth and Development” is what Hoover calls his new movement. Instead of the classic gang-bangin’ vibes, it’s about education, economic empowerment, and peace-building. Sounds nice, right?
It’s kinda like when your cousin goes from street racing to preachin’ self-help on TikTok. Some folks believe it’s genuine—he wants to turn street soldiers into community leaders. But others think it’s just smoke and mirrors to soften his image. Either way, it’s sparked convo about what rehabilitation really looks like in a system built to punish, not transform.
