Paid in Full is inspired by the lives of actual druglords from 1980s Harlem, but rapper Cam'ron's take on Rico is a special case altogether.
Paid in Full dramatizes the turbulent lives of actual 1980s Harlem drug dealers, including the real-life inspiration for the character Rico. Directed by Charles Stone III, the movie involves rapper Jay-Z as one of the producers along with a star-studded ensemble. Wood Harris plays the protagonist Ace, a law-abiding man who accidentally starts a booming drug business only to face a moral dilemma later.
Like Rico, ex-drug dealer Alberto "Alpo" Martinez started his business by selling drugs in East Harlem. According to Latin Trends, Martinez was 13 years old when he first started selling drugs — and then got arrested for the first time. The Latin Trends profile also suggests that after rising as a prominent drug kingpin in Harlem, he expanded his trade by transporting large quantities of crack cocaine through new territories, the most prominent of which was Washington D.C.
