May 8th, 2025 - RECAP “Benji Ramos - HADES - Short Stream! - NoPixel 4.0”

Elevator Struggles & Jog to the Abyss
Benji wakes up at the apartments and immediately gets stuck in the elevator. He calls Jayden for help, but Jayden is in the middle of a police chase, so no help there. Benji ends up figuring it out on his own, gets out, and heads off for his usual jog toward the Abyss.

Meeting “Gonzalo”
When Benji gets to the Abyss, he runs into a guy named Gonzalo. In classic Benji fashion, he trolls the guy by calling him “Gonzales.” Then he finds out Gonzalo is actually a friend of Louis, which makes Benji hit Louis up. Turns out, Louis is busy playing matchmaker, he’s setting up Dragon with his sister.

Jayden’s Shocking VCB
More people start pulling up at the Abyss. Yusef and Rich arrive, and Yusef drops a bomb, Jayden lost the cops in 10 seconds. Benji is stunned, since Jayden isn’t exactly known for being a great driver. So this feels like a miracle.

Cruise & Council Plans
Benji calls Louis again and tells him to meet at Mosley’s. While driving back to the Abyss, he’s vibing to music and starts thinking about a council meeting to talk about the asset split with Exodus. He’s planning ahead since he’ll be gone for a week.

Council Meeting: Split with Exodus

Benji links up with Jayden and Louis, the only awake council members, and lays it all out. He wants them to take the lead on talking to Ray. The main goal: handle the split amicably, protect Hades’ assets, and don’t let ego get in the way. He stresses teamwork, chemistry, and making solid, group decisions while he’s away.

Slime Shack Talk
Louis brings up Slime Shack. Benji wants to keep it, Winter still manages it, and it’s easy money. He makes it clear they shouldn’t give it up but also says don’t be aggressive about it when discussing with Ray.

PR Run with Flippy
After the meeting, Benji goes out to do some PR for Hades. He meets Flippy in Mirror Park and tells him his side of the story about Ray leaving. He keeps it balanced and not too biased. Flippy listens, says he saw this coming, and is confused why Ray is supporting Perez after that ADMC house heist especially since Ray was a victim before. Flippy makes it clear he’s backing Benji and even kicked Ray’s new crew out of Mirror Park. The convo is real solid just two OGs catching up.

Hades Mindset Moving Forward
Back at the Abyss, Benji talks about how to handle the people who left. He says to avoid them, don’t provoke anything, but if there’s conflict, Hades will handle it. The main focus is on progress, not drama.

Property Work & Bills

Benji and Yusef go to update property access so Yusef can move GPUs from the north to Vespucci. They hit up the courthouse for key cutters and to pay bills. Benji checks the outstanding balance, it’s around $500K. He calls Jayden, gets the funds wired, and pays everything off.

Conno Pulls Up
They head back to the Abyss and meet Conno, who used to hang around Manor. Conno explains he left because some people there didn’t vibe with him. He wants to push weed and hang with Hades now. The energy’s chill, and everyone’s joking around.

Private Talk with Louis
Benji pulls Louis aside and gives him credit for bringing people around. But he reminds him: don’t bring in soft people Hades needs real gangsters. He asks why Conno left Manor, and Louis confirms it was just personality clashes.

Shaping the Future of Hades
Jayden joins them, and the three of them talk about how they now have the power to shape the gang. Benji gives his expectations and mindset: think long-term, lead right, and build something strong. This is their time to step up.

Sunset & Sleep
Benji ends the day with a quick run to the beach before calling it a night.
