  • Miami Kingpin Convertible Burt's Rise to Power on Miami's Deadliest Street

    Miami Kingpin Convertible Burt's Rise to Power on Miami's Deadliest Street
    Mar 8 2026
    In this explosive episode of Honor Among Thieves, Nelson Rodriguez Jr. sits down with Convertible Burt, one of the most infamous figures from Miami’s street history. Known as a Miami kingpin from Liberty City, Burt built a powerful drug empire during one of the most dangerous eras in the city’s history. Growing up on 15th Avenue in Liberty City, a street once considered one of the most active drug corridors in the United States, Burt was exposed to hustlers, pimps, and organized crime from a young age — an environment that ultimately shaped the path of his life. Burt explains how he transitioned from a promising high-school athlete and wrestling champion to becoming a major player in Miami’s underground economy. After early arrests and time behind bars as a teenager, he returned to the streets and began organizing drug operations across multiple neighborhoods including Liberty City, Opa-locka, and Little Haiti, eventually running several 24-hour trap houses simultaneously and generating thousands of dollars per day. The streets would eventually give him the nickname “Convertible Burt” after he became known for driving luxury convertible cars while operating his expanding operation. As the heat from police task forces intensified in Miami, Burt made a bold move to Atlanta during the late 1980s, where he became part of the infamous “Miami Boys” era, a period when Miami drug crews expanded their operations into other major U.S. cities. He describes the strategy behind building a drug network in a new city, recruiting crews, securing territory, and surviving violent turf wars with local dealers. This episode is a rare first-hand account of Miami’s golden era of street hustlers, the rise of organized drug operations in the 1980s, and the realities of federal prison that followed. After decades behind bars — serving nearly 24 years in federal prison — Convertible Burt reflects on the choices that led him there and how he’s now focused on giving back through media projects and community work. If you’re interested in true crime, Miami drug history, federal prison stories, cartel-era drug trafficking, and the real stories behind America’s most notorious street legends, this episode delivers an unfiltered look at a world few people ever see.

Born to a Cuban father from the Mariel boatlift and a Mexican mother from Michoacán, Ulysses grew up inside the cocaine era that shaped 80s and 90s Miami. From breaking down bricks of “fish scale” cocaine for massive profit to dealing directly with Mexican cartel suppliers, he reveals how federal prison ultimately ended a multi-state drug operation that once generated six figures a month.
