Larry Hoover and Jeff Fort have been removed from 23 and 1 lockdown at the ADX Florence supermax prison in Florence, CO, Don Diva Magazine reports.
Hoover, 64, is the founder of the Black Gangster Disciples. Jeff Fort, 68, is credited with co-founding the Black P. Stones. Both gangs were formed in the late 60s.
Hoover is serving six life sentences while Fort is serving 80 years at the penal institution.
Chicago artist GLC confirmed news of Hoover and Fort’s transfer after speaking with Hoover’s wife, his son Larry Hoover Jr. and best friend Wallace Gator Bradley.
GLC wrote in his caption, “[Hoover and Fort] eat together and have symposiums to lead reform and prosperity of youth x prison reform and economic/political control of our communities and to end genocide amongst our own.”
He added, “Larry Hoover said it feels good to be shackle free for the first time since 1997.”
Chicago artists D.Bo and G-Count are set to release collaborative record “Jeff Fort, Larry Hoover” in honor of the two leaders.
Bo posted the single’s artwork onto his IG account with a caption, reading, “ME AND G-COUNT FINA F*CK YALL SUMMER UP #JEFFFORT #LARRYHOOVER VIDEO COMING SOON SHOT BY @aflyvisual773 #REPOST #SHARE.”
The two artists laid down the record in late March. Bo can be heard in the hook, rapping, “All well to the Moes, one love to the Folks/N*ggas say they making noise, then gone make a little more/For Jeff Fort, Larry Hoover.”
Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan has called for Hoover’s release.
Farrakhan said Hoover’s influence might help spark change in the urban community if he were freed, according to the Final Call. Hoover, Farrakhan said, pushed members of the GDs to place a priority on education.
Hoover has since changed “GD” to mean “Growth and Development.”
