About Saint Soprano

On January 10, 1999 Rollingstone Magazine’s #1 television show of all time “The Soprano’s” aired on HBO forever changing the global thought process towards organized crime. A fictional tale of a larger than life, New Jersey crime boss “Tony Soprano” played by the late great actor “James Gandolfini” offered a weekly glimpse into the made up life of a… “GANGSTER”. However, if the ground breaking hit series wasn’t fictional it would have probably been located in Buffalo, New York and its star would most definitely be the super charismatic real life gangster rapper they call… “Saint Soprano”. Born David McKithen aka “Saint Soprano” in one of the poorest cities in America “Buffalo, New York” served as the rearing spot for a young man who at the tender age of 11 years old embarked into a “365” day’s a year life of crime. No crime too “BIG” or too “SMALL” was his model for criminal success and sadly the residents of Buffalo, New York bared witness with a criminal rap sheet that reads like a who’s who list of crimes. Young “Saint Soprano” terrorized “the city of good neighbors” like no gangster before or after him earning him the nickname… “The Buffalo Menace”. Although, the son of a hardworking single mother who doubled as the lead singer of her church gospel choir couldn’t derail “Saints” relentless appetite to take to the streets like a Bat out of Hell. Routinely involved in fights, stabbings, kidnappings, drug dealing, shootings, gang banging, along with serving 11 years in New York’s maximum prison facility at Elmira is what firmly “Saint Soprano’s” status as Buffalo’s “Gangster” of all “Gangsters”… Bar None.
