What up gang.
Back with the real you know what’s the deal. When it comes to savages, there’s some that talk about it and then there’s steppers like NLMB Wet Em Up that be’s about it.
His name has been stamped in the history books of Chicago savages after he allegedly got get back within less than 24 hours of them crossing out his OG. From multiple arrests, to beating 4 bodies, to now back under the thumb of the feds, is this the end for one of NLMB’s biggest steppers? Let’s chop it up and break it down.
NLMB who was known as the No Limit Muskegon Boys, now represent their code, Never Leave My Brothers.
They have been one of the most popular sets in Chicago alongside others like FBG and OTF. Their notoriety on this big a scale can be credited to two of their rappers that made it big. G Herbo and Lil Bibby,
one killing it in the rap game,
and the other co-founding Grade A Productions record label with his brother G Money, which signed the legendary late Juice Wrld.
While NLMB is popping on the music front, they got a ruthless reputation as well in the streets, and one member that’s become like somn of legends goes by the name NLMB Wet Em Up aka Lil Wet.
He got the name from his pops who was Big Wet in the streets,
![Big Wet🕊[NLMB] was killed on this day in 2017 RIP : r/Chiraqology](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/Kw6_I8U3zzcHv6cVSLp2mt2I_F9MpmjYqhGH9mD0JMk8I8o0aCBPK5tb6OVEGrf2oy8zkI_ReCbWhGDxNvs-R4k0uU4OYvw4u_2-vqkd5CJj1p47vokzKbFwk1h8Amt4hhibcCoyrJqhMV4kaAGG)
so Lil Wet took on the torch and ran with it doing his thing now holding it down for his set https://youtu.be/x-dH3tYn-Jc?si=nb05g8eAcjtplAoF (0:30-0:42).
The environment influenced who he became, and growing up in the trenches, Lil Wet followed the path of so many youngins getting caught in the cycle, but he wasn’t prepared for all the pain and bloodshed that would come https://youtu.be/zHckI3raVFo?si=IEU0CmVZIjNMnFxj (7:40-7:48) https://youtu.be/zHckI3raVFo?si=IEU0CmVZIjNMnFxj (8:11-8:18) He has seen his homie knocked off right in front him, and has been shot on multiple occasions, once in his hip, and another time he is seen with the hole in his hand on live as he applied bandage over the wound https://youtu.be/EgqOfvYEPus?si=A1gowixkYrDPOTsT (0:00-0:40).
https://youtu.be/zHckI3raVFo?si=j77uKdW25_RCMcVv (3:42-3:48) https://youtu.be/zHckI3raVFo?si=j77uKdW25_RCMcVv (4:40-4:49).
Lil Wet would rack up a rap sheet that would paint him as a youngin that was really bout it and had no care for the law. According to reports, cops arrested bro as early as 12 years old, and from then he was arrested 29 more times for everything ranging from Armed Robbery to Firearm Possession. Lil Wet was really out here standing on business for NLMB https://youtu.be/qA_iYp_PfgE?si=4cvSkpGYfTJuIgDq (0:59-1:19).
Crazy thing is, it’s reported that his pops, who cops also label a gang member was arrested dang near 47 times, so it seems Lil Wet was carrying on the family legacy in these streets for real https://youtu.be/qA_iYp_PfgE?si=Ac3ULvOgOOsNIkO1 (0:22-0:29) Sadly, his pops would lose his life to the streets that made him. Reports state that on March 29th 2017, 37-year-old Jerry Jacobs aka Big Wet was walking on the sidewalk at 11:13 p.m. in the 7900 block of South Phillips when four males got out of a dark-colored vehicle and shot at him. Jacobs suffered a gunshot wound to the right side of his body and took himself to South Shore Hospital. With his life draining by the minute, he was later transferred to Stroger Hospital. Unfortunately, no matter how much they tried to save his life, his wound was too great and he was pronounced dead at 3:40 a.m..

Lil Wet would get word of the news, and in that moment, he had two choices – mourn his pops and move on to a different path leaving the streets behind, or spin the block and have get back for the man that his life patterned. Well, what happened less than 24 hours later is alleged to have been his decision.
Family members were left in tears as the chaotic scene played out.
According to reports, a shooter entered Nadia Fish and Chicken at 75th and Coles.
around 4 pm and opened fire before escaping on foot. Police found two men, 28-year-old Emmanuel Stokes.
and 32-year-old Edwin Davis.
dead inside from gunshot wounds and two brothers, 20-year-old Dillon Jackson.
and 19-year-old Raheem Jackson.
dead outside, also from gunshot wounds from the attack. https://youtu.be/BbCcy-6vmIo?si=sgvTYA0rPRz76WuM (0:23-0:43) Their grandmother would speak to reporters breaking down what happened https://youtu.be/5aKSMb9fRqA?si=-XeDY5mLFLhPWslI (0:35-0:45) https://youtu.be/5aKSMb9fRqA?si=uR2YKTQ4rNOkiSr1 (1:52-2:36).
According to reports, Dillon and Raheem were visiting their mother who worked at the restaurant when the gunfire broke out.
Both tried to flee but were also fatally shot in nearby parking lots.
It didn’t take long for the trail to lead police right to Lil Wet, who was pointed out by several eyewitnesses at the scene saying he was the trigger man https://youtu.be/qA_iYp_PfgE?si=EufHX-RD512TxQ7D (0:55-0:58).
Now arrested, Maurice Harris aka Lil Wet was in for hell.
News of the murders was sweeping news stations, and his image was painted as some gangster with no sense involved in gang violence. Worse yet, they plastered his criminal history and the criminal history of his pops who was murked less than 24 hours before, making the alleged connection that he retaliated for the hit on his pops. It wasn’t looking good for bro at all https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/police-father-of-man-charged-in-quadruple-south-shore-shooting-had-been-murdered-1-day-earlier/10748/ (0:11-0:35) https://youtu.be/bXVaBeyiM2U?si=ZkL4Lw7vRS2YG9Uq (0:00-0:46) https://youtu.be/bXVaBeyiM2U?si=ZkL4Lw7vRS2YG9Uq (1:19-1:24) https://youtu.be/qA_iYp_PfgE?si=8R5EXj1inmZMBe06 (0:04-0:35) https://youtu.be/qA_iYp_PfgE?si=H-_mEoeMpJN6KcLv (0:49-1:10) https://youtu.be/qA_iYp_PfgE?si=HLXyF2zK7zeDSd__ (1:20-1:28).
Lil Wet was in the slammer without bail and according to him, it was like everything just went black. https://youtu.be/kV__DPNwvrg?si=nYYqDELWqX2geRHJ (2:33-2:56) Losing your pops then days later you now behind bars, that had to be a weight on bro mind realizing that he was facing life. Whether he saw the light of day or died in a cell depended on this case right here https://youtu.be/kV__DPNwvrg?si=nYYqDELWqX2geRHJ (3:19-3:28) Even with that, bro was still thuggin’ behind bars and giving hell https://youtu.be/dwTY697WUxU?si=JCsaj1Yq0K_DW6Wz.
Lil Wet would hold strong, fighting the case for approximately 3 years before a miracle happened. Lil Wet was woken up from his cell and rushed into an emergency online court meeting where he was told the good news. The case was dismissed and all charges were dropped https://youtu.be/kV__DPNwvrg?si=CW5eaCv8Sd1JEY8n (8:49-9:26).
Ion think people know the full extent of what bro was facing and how big a miracle this was. According to reports it wasn’t just 4 murder charges Lil Wet was facing but more than two dozen counts of murder, attempted murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm.
Apparently, the case was dropped due to unreliable witness accounts https://youtu.be/-sPcY1H0jxk?si=M9Mk7mJgYCHSc7CQ.
His moms also gave an alibi for Lil Wet. She had phone records to prove she was talking to her son at the time of the shooting. She said her son could not have been near the restaurant because he was at the coroner’s office, identifying his father, Jerry Jacobs. https://abc7chicago.com/south-shore-murder-4-killed-quadruple-shooting-arrest/1838414/ (1:18-1:24).
https://abc7chicago.com/south-shore-murder-4-killed-quadruple-shooting-arrest/1838414
Bro got the second chance of a lifetime and it was now up to him to put it to good use. It was all smiles and laughter being released from jail in 2020 https://youtu.be/5OUL2AlQKGI?si=yaKhr3VzcH23bb6p (0:00-0:50).
And for a while it looked like Lil Wet was doing just that. From behind bars people were telling him he had to come out and get his rap on and stay out of all the BS, so when he got out, he picked up the mic and started doing his thing https://youtu.be/x-dH3tYn-Jc?si=PJPY6UIrg95St0-D (2:30-2:41) https://youtu.be/flPA4Nb3fKQ?si=3MUzUZ8m7nmSqOMf (10:00-10:12).
He was making moves with his homie G Herbo.
and pushing music of his own leveling up in the rap game and building connections with stars like Chief Keef, 21 savage, Wallo and Gillie https://youtu.be/CVbLIaDK0lU?si=OnX_sxP1D59Gu8lX (0:20-0:42) https://youtu.be/oQUfmbNl1DM?si=F6b4mXD2zUIPO-QV (0:04-0:23) https://youtu.be/pKBfyR7WSZg?si=-t9AILT33HrELLe- (4:04-4:18) https://youtu.be/GOIS4a3zZ7I?si=9_cr8euQ1u-nx7dl.
The Boi was doing it. He started going under the name Drench while continuing to drop music and it seemed like Lil Wet was on the right path.
That was until he wasn’t.
The feds weren’t having it and pulled up on bro putting him right back in the slammer. According to reports and surfaced court documents, on January 19, 2024 during the execution of a federal search warrant on a residence located at 720 West 47th Street, Apartment 4D in Chicago.
law enforcement observed Maurice Harris aka NLMB Lil Wet.
temporarily lean out of a window of the 47th Street Apartment with a firearm in his hand and then throw the same firearm onto the roof of the 47th Street Apartment.
The gun recovered from the roof was a Glock pistol with a fully automatic switch loaded with 17 live rounds, according to a 10-page criminal complaint, which included a photo of the alleged weapon sitting on top of a pile of snow.
The switchy isn’t something the feds play with and it’s almost guaranteed prison time if caught. They allegedly saw bro toss it on the roof and also recovered the strap, so it’s going to be a tough one for Lil Wet to beat. Reports state that the reason for the raid is uncertain as the warrant remains sealed, but the raid was conducted as Lil Wet returned from doing a show in Detroit and was staying with a girlfriend. So it seems like they were on his trail and just waiting on the right moment to strike. With the charge of possessing a machine gun carrying a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, you know the feds are going to try get the max since they probably feel a way that he beat 4 bodies before.
The prosecution was throwing everything to try and get Lil Wet kept behind bars, requesting him be held without bond and playing the judge rap videos of Lil Wet. They argued that by flaunting his familiarity with guns and bragging about shooting people with automatic weapons, he showed his dangerousness was a reality not merely part of his art.
Two music videos in question showed were “Death” and “Murda Man” https://youtu.be/H4-6nZ5JgzU?si=BxYoKGyTk-yJJ7rE https://youtu.be/zLdN-KOkZg8?si=2HfzNnvxAkmhwGGD
Just by the name alone, it already starts to create an image for the judge of who he thinks Lil Wet is. Mix that with new names like Drench, it only acts against bro.
NLMB Lil Wet beat all the odds, defied fate, and beat 4 bodies, only to now play right back into the hands of the law. This time, possibly not getting out of the jam he’s in without consequences. Not even getting caught with just any strap, but a switch. You got to think smarter, especially after getting a second chance. Things been looking like a L for Lil Wet since his arrest, but a piece of document recently surfaced online, allegedly showing what may be proof he was released and back outside.
But that still hasn’t been confirmed because there’s jail call recordings of Lil Wet talking to his homie about the rough conditions he’s facing behind bars, saying they hating on him and he ain’t eat in 6 days https://youtu.be/6Ks8Ua3SNxo?si=dSngD2lZZ_fsGzl3 (2:18-4:00).
Things are still shaking on the situation Lil Wet is now wrapped up in, and if he could even get out of that jam that quickly. It’s up to time to really see what’s going on with the case, whether it be he’s set free or still being pressured by the feds.
So there you have it. Thanks for kicking it with yah boy, appreciate the love and support. Catch ya’ll in the next one. Peace up and peace out.
