Childhood
Joshua “Pepino” Edwards was born and raised in the Rancho Projects in Jamestown, A Few doors down from his close friends Jayvantavious “JJ” Gonzales, Hakeem Turner and Alejandro Rivera. Growing up in the Rancho Projects was rough with the constant gang violence over the large drug trade in Jamestown. During highschool Pepino would get into many fights over petty things like disrespect of his mother and getting ripped off for cheap weed. Things escalated his Senior Year of highschool though when JJ and Pepino and Tajo robbed a store at gunpoint and got away with it. Things went south when they were caught in the act of an active robbery Two weeks later. This robbery would land Pepino in Federal Prison where he met “Drizzy” , a member of the Original Covenant Ballas. Pepino would use his only phone call to tell Alejandro about “Drizzy” and who he rolled with and the opportunity that was there.
The Current
After Pepino got out he made a phone call to Alejandro they both met up at Pepinos Apartment in Jamestown and then walked over to Groove Street to kick it with Drizzy. They hung around with Drizzy and other members of the Ballas for about a week before being told that he could wear a Purple Durag. For a while the friend group from Jamestown dealt small amounts of Marijuana to the residents of Los Santos. But things changed when they got their hands on their first Kilo of Cocaine, but they called it Ski. They would flip this Kilo of Ski and order a lot more like 30 kilos more. After this Joshua could not go back the money was too big and too rewarding.
