Born in 1962 in Washington, D.C., Perry grew up in a low-income housing project. He was one of many young Black American males trapped poverty which in part led to Wayne Perry becoming involved in the drug trade at the age of 12.

During the 1980s and 1990s, Wayne Perry teamed up with Harlem drug dealer, Alberto Alpo Martinez after Alpo had paid for Wayne Perry’s release on $10 000.00 Bail.
Together, Alpo and Wayne Perry were responsible for bringing large quantities of cocaine and heroin into Washington, D.C. with Wayne Perry acting as Alpo’s muscle and Enforcer on the streets of Washington D.C.
