Episode 5- Time to Reflect
America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Two out of three ex-cons will commit an act that will lead them back to prison. Society's disdain for ex-cons makes life after the penitentiary a challenging one...Some make it....Some don't. These are their stories!

As a man, as a son, as a father, as an African, as hue-man being, I am grateful for this brother's of wisdom. He got me teary eyed just listening to him, very wise man. Perfect example of the saying: "...never judge a book by its cover." I salute you, OG, much and respect. All the way from Angola, Africa.
sbasta your dumb ass never even been out your shitty hood..
Did u buy him that shirt
Had to listen to this rather than watch the visuals because that shirt's too much for me
I think this guy sold me some fake cocaine on 6 Mile back in '83.
lmao
Lmao 😂😂😂
LMAO. And he sold me some fake meth at joy and Vaughn
Lmao 😂💀
6 and Evergreen
Being a man who has gone through pain, its not hard to see the pain in this mans face. Great Story!
You can also see it on his shirt.
It is always interesting to see people who've been dealt a bad had and made bad decisions growing up articulate their experiences. His message at the end was brilliant! I love it.
Thanks for this!
The last 5 mins was serious...made me go in my kids room and tell them I love them... he was right about having a boy... my son is 7 and my daughter is 9. I tell them I love them collectively but never as individuals.I love my kids hands dwn I just never looked at it like that. he's right if they love you they will confine in you. This video have made me look at things differently...my respect.
Bar Breakers
^^^.............rember as they saw as they done .....teach them well and watch them lead the way ....may peace sit amongst you and yours my gees!!

This just in!!! He didnt rip a hole in his shirt..His chest did.
BlackAlienTV Haha! That's funny :)
Superman put a hold in his shirt
Loved the part from 10:35 till the end. So much real talk especially about parenting and self-knowledge. Very valuable words.
This guy's pretty articulate but the really impressive thing about him is his body language and facial expressions. He is just ridiculously charismatic, he should be an actor.
I bet he would be a lot of fun to talk to in person. He has so much to say, and I'd be he has so many stories to tell! What an inspiration..
That's a real person I wish every one had this kind of mindset on life
just image if they did
JELLY O Mally the world would b in a much better place,, no doubt
"he was blacker then 30 million midnights" yoooo hahaha
Ronald Johnson Keep trying Ronald, you just made a supreme failure of a comment, at a statement he QUOTED ffs. Lol
"Blacker than 30 million midnights" LMAO
Nice on the Sara Smile sample too
He's such a positive dude. Good vibes all day for me now!
The 7 people that dislike this is ignorant to the core.But I hope yu watch this and truly understand the meaning of his story
You speak the truth!!
+bossmusic212 Probably trump supporters
Random dislikes is a thing.
Great job brother you
gave some jewels that every parent MUST take into count. Lots of behavior issue are due to lack of feeling love and unconditional support I love when he said "yeah you messed up but we gone fix it" this is something I never had as a kid.thanks for your teachings
Dude is full of positive energy. Feeling refreshed just listening to him talk
I am a teacher and I would like for every single one of my parents to watch this
Guess u are looking for attention. .. keep looking beautiful
U win
Goodnight
mikeflemming711 go take your low standards somewhere else, and fuck yourself while you're at it. How in earth could you possibly rage at a comment as constructive as she made? You can't. Go be a cancer somewhere else.
Thank you for saying that.... he doesn't think much of teachers and maybe because he didn't have any good ones... don't argue with the troubled because I'm sure he will be ignorant. ..but I appreciate you
Jennifer Scales teachers are essential
i wonder how old he is, cuz hes in awesome shape for an older guy...very impressive
He is in his late 40s guy is jacked
The motown OG is timeless. We don't even know how old he is to be exact. He's way beyond his forties though.
Opinionated yep YH YOUR RIGHT
+roughriderfan5 hes on juice dude
+Jon Doe you never know
Great advice after great advice after great advice with this guy.
Love my fellow Detroiters.. listening to the OGs tell the stories of old Detroit is amazing...
This guy is real talk. I've heard about the inner city plantations. It's a really thing. Look at any major city, crime plagued minority neighborhoods, gangs, drugs, corruption, bad school, etc. You don't pick where you're gonna grow up. Unfortunately if you grow up in an area like that statistically there's a much greater chance you'll end up dead or in a cell. That said, I think we're also living historically in the best time for people to break out from that vicious cycle. More and more minority's are becoming successful. I'm not just talking about athlete's and musicians but regular middle class people, school teachers, plumber, business owners, whatever. If you want a big house, nice car, expensive clothes, etc. The best way to get it is to work hard. It will take a lot of hard work and a long time but it's sure as hell better than getting shot or locked up. I believe everyone should be given another chance, most of the guys I see on this series are good people who made some mistakes and at one point or another turned it around and better themselves.
Dude proclaimed he had the opportunity to work at Chrysler making good money, then retiring with a ridiculous pension. Retired auto-workers get like $50k a year. He decided not to. Not even close to a justification.
DJjakedrake money is not everything. i love money but even i understand that.
So... He was in for 1 year in the 80's... I thought he looked familiar.
Fleece Johnson 😒
Fleece Johnson lol
Fleece Johnson maaaaaaaaan!!! Fucking hilarious🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn, dude is ripped. Articulate & interesting too. But what on this blue Earth is going on with the shirt ? O_o
gotta love and respect the real OGs spitting positivity
Genuinely, this man is an excellent human being. He should be a motivational speaker because he really knows what he is talking about!
God bless this brother!
Remember the soldiers from the "Antz" movie. Yeah, that's him.
great speech,, very good interview
Very impressive speech. U r a very real intellectual brother. I adopted your formala wit raising my kids. 💯💯💯 Chicago born n raised. Peace n luv.
My first time seeing this interview. This man is an OVERCOMER. He was my love after this interview. I want the world to know he's also a good guy even if he plays "The Bad Guy" in Hollywood. He was still talking the same about wanting to help children. He and I have similar experiences. I was placed in foster care by my mother at age 12. I came from a good family with a great stepfather who taught me how a man treats a woman and his daughters. But a mother with a secret about who my biological father was. My biological father told me he was my father right before I was placed in foster homes. Although my mother and I have healed today I went through hell. I was locked down in juvenile twice, went to jail multiple times. But my God today I am much better. When I met this man he helped push me to a better version of myself. I want the world to know I LOVE, honor, adore and RESPECT him, Xango Henry aka Mohtown OG. If you see him tell him there's no side of him that'll stop👑Qween Goddesz, Ayanna Asante from being loyal to him and loving him.
Amazing! Real message for our children..thank you from a mother of a young Black man! Be blessed!
This man, despite his shirt, is very articulate and wise, a good role model for youth
Impressive & informative about growing up in an environment of which some of us, have not had the exposure or this type of experience. Mr Henry has provided us with a real & raw dialog so that we can live vicariously via his travails! I applaud him for allowing us to garner a little bit of what it's like as a 10 year old on the streets of Detroit! What was I doing @ 10 years old? I was taking Piano, Ballet, Baton Twirling lessons, going to the Community Center to go swimming, attending Brownies & Girl Scout meetings, etc. Mr. Henry, thank you for allowing us to "Walk a mile in your Moccasins" & seeing a real "Phoenix Rising from the Ashes"! Kudos to you overcoming you darkness!
He is telling some true shit. My father was a drunkard and my mother didnt love me and my brother also and I can tell everyone that this is a whole different game in life right at the beginning. So big respect to this man and I hope that he will stay out of trouble and teach the youngsters =)
Respect to the Motown og.
He has all the mannerisms and accent of the true Southern culture. His overall good-nature and hospitality comes through in his speech.
You could tell when he started talking about self reflection and learning one self. His whole style changed and it didn't sound like glorification. it got deep when he started talking about his life purpose of helping young people. When your life has meaning, nobody can hold you back. Great speech.
Also, the most touching part is how the man talks about how he treats his kids... Good parent right there. Peace. 100
That Hall and Oates remix in the background though
I wish a boxing trainer would have pulled him into a gym at a young age.
True OG and a deep philosopher .Younger generation can learn from him. You dont need a phd or Masters as Society puts it to learn. People like him is what we need to learn from especially from the hood. Give him a badge and a gun hell get more respect then giving one to some 24 year old white kid from the burbs who never a day steppped into the hood and never knew what it was to struggle or know where food was coming from that day. But of course thats not the way society is but maybe thats the way we need to start going to solve some of these issues we are having in society.
Oddly fascinating. He's more than just a guy who's been through some serious shit... Even more so, he's someone that young at-risk kids might actually listen to. I went to a pretty wild high school and I can say that 80% of the class would often boo and disrespect the 3 piece suit wearing speakers that came to offer inspiring words. I doubt that would happen if this guy came to speak. Just telling a lost kid that what he's doing is wrong isn't going to change anything. The kid has to be interested first, then maybe you'll get to him.
I'm no professional. just my thoughts.
One of the BEST interviews iv seen on here
This guy truly knows shit a lot of educated people don't. His knowledge and desire to stay historical is very valuable. Too many people today, even the most highly educated, disavow the importance of history in favor of practical knowledge of today.
Now this is a solid dude. He rose above the stereotype and his challenges and this guy really is wise. This is the type of person who you can listen too and take a piece of knowledge and apply it to your own life to better yourself. It's all about progress and doing the best you can from where you are at right now.
DAMN... The end of this video hit the spot!
Same here! I'm wiping the tears away.
Cat Shannon It's a shame so many of these bruthas have to learn these basic lessons about life the hard way. Speaks volumes something about the culture they grow up in, the breakdown of the family unit, and endless failed policies by corrupt Detroit-democrat politicians.
Keep pushing Positive talk O.G. we need more like ya
this is some of the realest words ever spoken. Salute Motown O.G. #like #share
Interesting and soulful guy.
This is as real as it gets
This man is pure character, in a good way. He has lived the life and has a lifetime of stories. If i were a movie director and in need of casting, i would have just found my lead actor.
Thank you, "Fresh Out" but mainly thanks to Mohtown. I appreciate the talk and lessens you presented on this video. I have an 11 year old son who I can use somethings you said and apply it to him and our journey of him becoming a man and to be a great father to his kids. Once again thanks, Mohtown. #respect
A wise and charismatic guy. Respect to you😃
Damn. This guy prob has a million stories from the 70s and 80s that could be scenes in movies like American Gangster. He's from Dexter & Davidson, a famous, interesting and ultimately dangerous place in West Detroit. My grandma still lives there. Not much going on over there these days.
These are important stories to tell. Thanks to all these guys for sharing.
LOVE O.G
This video should be released as only the reflections. This guy has a great message for all people that doesn't need a "fresh out" lens to look through. It needs to be heard by more people.
just listing to this man I just gain some more knowledge.
This man has a lot of wisdom & knowledge. He had to come by it by violence and incarceration but he found it. God bless you
who's here in 2023 my 10th watching this video very informative 👍🏿 Hurk u gotta go back to this format
One of the greatest interviews I’ve ever seen I watch it at times just because to put my mind in a humble and relaxed state man , this guy is dope man a real og ✊🏾
Check out Less Brown also.
Wonderful words, truly, this man has his shit together...great parenting advice
I never seen this one great guy good message .two thumbs up
Wow. This is a lot of great life advice. I can relate to a lot of the things he is talking about. I know some don't understand the lingo 'cuz they never been in certain situations.. but oh well..
Definitely a great video that a good amount of people could benefit from. I too would like to see more from this guy.
Thank you for uploading. I also think the man in the video for sharing his knowledge.
I just want to know this dudes workout regiment
all pec
Lol I think he still just does bodyweight
Bane1Mirin You are naive lol. You don't get physique like this from bodyweight.
ZeonWatches You're the one who is naïve, have you heard of Hannibal for king, Frank Medrano, or Hit Richards, they all look better than this guy and they only do body weight. Military boot camp is all body weight, and most prisons have removed weights, and inmates still get huge off of just body weight exercise.

I plan on letting my two sons hear this . I've been in this position when I was young but the OG'S pushed me out of that life but I plan on taking my two sons away this weekend and really talking with them . This is some powerful shit . Black men telling and keeping it real . God bless ya life .
Well said bro....
Expressing love to our children is very important in order to cultivate everlasting respect and attachment between parents and child.
Hands down this is the best Fresh Out to date! The beat was fire too.
Ain't bsing, I watched most of your videos and not one of them did I subscribe nor like, until I seen this one. This dude really did impact me with (I mean at first I kinda thought he was out there), the clothing the stance, yet the more I listened the more that his words really moved me. Keep doing your thingr, and the O.G do your thing man you're a real inspiration
very encouraging!!great parental advice!!thanks you super O.G.
What an amazing human,Thanks for uploading this so it reaches more people. Peace
He and brothers like him are the reason I declined a CO position in Delano California. I would have been all in the news. 'Correctional officer having inappropriate contact with inmates'. Big ups to the producers of Fresh Out. These stories need to be heard
1ginachell I passed Delano today on my way to my hometown. I didn't even know they had a prison there
Man my brotha you speak nothing but the truth
O.G. is ridiculously articulate! omg. A fountain of knowledge right here!
this guy is a warrior in so many ways MAY THE MOST HIGH BLESS N GUIDE HIM
Some of the deepest, most profound shit I have heard in my lifetime has come from men/women who have educated and reformed themselves after doing long state/federal bids. I worked in corrections straight out of college and learned a lot about how similar my white, blue collar world was to many of the dudes that were locked up. My dad and mom had the same type of approach as this gentleman and it's what kept me FREE.
Mohtown OG, I am proud to be in the same species as you, my friend. I hope you are , on a daily basis, spreading your wisdom and knowledge to all people regardless of age, race or gender. Never mind scared straight! This type of enlightenment is what at risk youth need. Your children are lucky to have you in their life. Peace, my brother!
GET THIS guy to do another interview he is a gifted speaker had me glued to what he was saying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job on the explaination. You are spot on my friend!
I’m from Detroit much love fam
Man you had Milli & Vanilli style your shirt? On the real doe, good luck out there OG.
John Baert *though... doe is a fucking baby deer dumb fuck
He's a real ☝. It ain't hard to tell even through a plastic screen. Love listening to the real. I know what its like. Sometimes it takes a man to go through trial either willing or unwilling to come through and teach the truth to man. Love this video.
The brother dropping knowledge good shit right here
i just dont get that weird hole in his shirt
Talk To Them Brother! God Bless You for All that you do for the Youth Of Today.
The last 5 minutes of this interview are golden!! This brother has a great spirit.
Red fish blue fish. Lmao couldn't help it
Genuine O.G..real nigga, I salute
Real talk...
Arthur Branch is a Great friend of mine I grew up around the corner from him and know his whole family!
This man is a genius in his own way. He has intelligence that cannot be taught in school, genuine smarts to live a wholesome life that he learned from utter misery.
i really enjoyed listing to this brothers story hes sincer and i believe hes going to save hundreds of kids lives
If you just look past the ripped shirt and muscles, this guy really had a lot to say and it all made sense to me. If you are influenced by the wrong people at an early age it can have a serious impact on the outcome of your future but if you are strong enough mentally you can overcome that negative influence and that is exactly what he did.
This is one smart dude, a real role model type.
There needs to be more intelligent old heads like this dude.
Respect.
This Man is cool & i got total respect !!, Peace.
All my shirts got a tear like that
Real O.G
Good dude, he needs to make a youtube channel and drop knowledge, the world needs him in these times, peace.
this OG for real
We need more people like this today.
