8 Things We Learned From The Money & Violence Cast On The Breakfast Club [Photos]

Critically acclaimed and hood approved web series Money & Violence is finally back for a second season. The cast stopped by The Breakfast Club to give some much needed updates.

After impacting popular culture with a gritty take on Brooklyn street life, Money & Violence was on everyone’s must watch list in early 2015. It is no shocker that they drew interest from larger business entities.

So we present the top 8 things we learned from the Money & Violence cast on The Breakfast Club. Sound off in the comments section.
