News of all of these court cases and trials has caused conversations about how one would handle the pressures of being charged with serious crimes to arise. This week, the trial against Nipsey Hussle's alleged killer Eric Holder reportedly began, and it follows the news of YSL's indictment that resulted in the arrests of Young Thug, Gunna, and 26 of their alleged associates.
Rapper Ralo recently learned that he has been sentenced to eight years in prison, and we've reported on others who have been jailed including 9lokknine, Casanova, Pooh Shiesty, and Pretty Ricky's Baby Blue.
This has caused Hip Hop to reignite conversations about what they would do in similar situations, especially as rumors of snitching have haunted many artists. Boosie Badazz believes that until someone is facing serious charges and a lengthy sentence, they can't gauge how they would handle a legal situation.
