McGriff led the Supreme Team, a powerhouse organization estimated to make about $500,000 a week! McGriff, grew up in a middle class home in an area where poverty and systemic oppression was a thing, both parent were blue collar workers, McGriff eventually dropped out of high school, motivated by the fascination of street hustlers who seemed to lead more successful lives than those in 9-5 jobs. He initially became involved with the 5%ers, a group that fostered both positive and criminal elements, which eventually introduced him to influential figures like Lorenzo "Fat Cat" Nichols. As heroin's dominance grew in the early 1980s, McGriff capitalized on the emerging crack caine market, forming the Supreme Team, a well structured criminal organization that he ran alongside his nephew, Prince Miller. Their partnership balanced McGriff's business acumen with Miller's ruthlessness, enabling the Supreme Team to become one of New York City's most notorious criminal enterprises. McGriff would put this team together with old connections and arranged a security system of looks out when moving large quantities of WHITE, obviously these men will be paid and most would hustle for him as well. As the team flaunted their wealth through flashy lifestyles, they caught the attention of law enforcement, leading to increased surveillance and media scrutiny. Following a robbery by a rival gvng, McGriff's brutal tactics escalated, culminating in police raids that landed him in prison for nine years. While in prison, his nephew Prince would take over leadership but during his leadership, many people were t0rtured, beaten or even klled, which could have gone for much longer time if McGriff wasn’t released just 2 years after his 9 year prison sentence! McGriff was back in business after his release but just 2 months after his release, Preme was back in prison and this time for 12 years. Prince was left in charge but in 1993, Prince was sentenced to 7 life term sentences.
