He might live up to his name now.

A Nassau County rapper named “Broke Boy Lord” and his city schools custodian brother were part of a lucrative California-to-New York drug ring broken up by law enforcement, officials said Friday.

Rhymer Jamel Brown, and his sibling Randolph Brown, both of Valley Stream, were among eight men collared in January for trafficking bulk quantities of heroin, fentanyl and cocaine from the West Coast to locations in New York, including Nassau County and Queens.

Agents said they busted Randolph Brown outside in the Springfield Gardens school where he worked and recovered a fentanyl package worth roughly $200,000 inside his Mercedes parked outside the building.

The sting included undercover agents making buys from members of the ring from November 2018 to December 2019, officials said.

Jamel Brown allegedly made several trips to California to pick up dope before he shipped it east, agents said.

The office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor hit members of the syndicate with a range of charges from operating as a major trafficker to criminal possession of a weapon.

“The crimes charged expose the inner workings of an organization set up to distribute deadly drugs in New York City and Long Island, and how a school custodian with a side job as a high level distributor brazenly went to work with a kilogram of fentanyl concealed in his Mercedes,” said Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget G. Brennan. “These arrests demonstrate our steadfast commitment to protect our city.”
