Check out the trailer for the Hulu documentary, “Rap Trap: Hip Hop on Trial” surrounding the use of hip hop lyrics being used against rap artists in court.

The full documentary is now available here.

Atlanta rapper Young Thug is the latest rapper to be hit with charges for his alleged gang ties to the national Bloods street gang.

Prosecutors say Jeffery Williams /pka/ Young Thug, who is allegedly the leader of the gang YSL or Young Slime Life, rapped about his criminal activities in his music under his YSL record label. According to the Atlanta DA’s office, his music lyrics should be admissible in court and used against him for prosecution.

Although Young Thug has claimed gang ties in his lyrics, defense attorney Manny Arora is arguing there is no evidence that rapper has any gang affiliation.

So far four of Thug’s co-defendants have been sentenced to life in prison for their crimes committed while affiliated with the gang. Others have taken plea deals leaving Young Thug on the hook to stand trial under the Rico charge.

He faces life in prison if convicted.

BMF: Bleu DaVinci Says Big Meech is Responsible for His Snitch Label

In the video below former Black Mafia Family artist Bleu DaVinci tells American Dope his side of the story regarding the events leading up to the Black Mafia Family indictments which led to Big Meech’s current incarceration. According to Bleu, BMF boss Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory started the current narrative that Bleu is a “rat” while talking to another alleged member or affiliate.

Bleu says he knows who the real snitches were and it was not him. He then goes on to question Big Meech’s credibility as a mob boss stating that Big Meech repeated the information without checking his paperwork. He said the label has caused him to receive death threats because people believe he snitched on Meech.

I wonder will they touch on this part of the story on BMF.

In part 2 of the interview he speaks on Jeezy and his connection to BMF.

Check out the interview.

In the end Bleu pled guilty to the distribution of 150 kilos of cocaine and was sentenced to 5 years & 4 months in federal prison.
