You are probably right Snakes. Street boss might be a better term in this case.I remember long time ago there was this thread about the two terms and whether they ment the same thing.Some people said that "front boss" and "street boss" had the same meaning and other thought differently.For me to be honest, the most confusing thing was for example the Detroit family. According to some sources, back in the old days they had boss,underboss,consiglieri,street boss and than the capos
