About this listen

1988 wasn’t just a year—it was a turning point.

New York City was drowning in money, violence, and fear as the government prepared its hardest crackdown yet. In this firsthand account, Brian “Glaze” Gibbs takes listeners inside the moments that reshaped his life forever.

This is not glorification. It’s reflection.

Through lived experience, 1988 reveals the unseen pressure of surviving day to day, how ordinary routines became life-or-death decisions, and the mental toll of constant movement, mistrust, and vigilance. It explores the warning signs most people miss—and the choices that separate freedom from prison, survival from a life sentence.

1988 is a raw witness account of a man standing at a crossroads, choosing life over legend.

A year.

A decision.

Everything changed.
