Описание: Gangster Stories For Sleep | Nicky Barnes – The King Of Harlem, 1977

New York City, 1977. Under the neon lights of Harlem, a man in a tailored suit walked like royalty through a kingdom built on powder, power, and precision. His name was Leroy “Nicky” Barnes—Mr. Untouchable. Calm, charismatic, and dangerously intelligent, Barnes wasn’t just a dealer—he was an architect of an empire that blurred the lines between businessman and outlaw.

This two-hour bedtime story gently explores the rise and fall of a man who mastered the art of control in a world ruled by chaos. From the quiet corners of Lenox Avenue to the grand stages of fame and downfall, it’s a portrait of a leader whose brilliance matched his ambition—and whose silence could command more fear than a gunshot.

Told in a soft, reflective tone, this story isn’t about the violence or the glamour—it’s about power, pride, and the loneliness that follows success built in the shadows. A story of a king who ruled Harlem with style, intellect, and ice-cold resolve—until his own reflection turned against him.

Part of the Gangster Stories For Sleep series, this episode invites you to drift into the hauntingly elegant world of 1970s New York crime—where the streets never sleep, and every crown carries a cost.
