Word on the web is, that the man Shyne is getting out of jail soon most likely. According to MTV News:
NEW YORK On Tuesday (August 4), a Manhattan judge signed an order that will see former Bad Boy recording artist and onetime Sean "Diddy" Combs protégé Jamal "Shyne" Barrow receive two-and-a-half years of post-release supervision stemming from his 2001 conviction and sentencing in the infamous Club New York case.
An attorney for Shyne — born Jamal Barrow but now going by Moses Levi after converting to Judaism while in prison — said that the order marked one of the last remaining hurdles in the way of his client's release from prison in October.
"He's about 90 percent of the way home now," attorney Oscar Michelin told MTV News following the hearing.
The district attorney's office had recommended Shyne receive the maximum amount of five years of post-release supervision (essentially probation), due to the violent nature of his crime. In June of 2001, Shyne was sentenced to 10 years in prison
n April, Shyne appeared in court for a parole hearing, hoping to be released early after serving eight years in prison — but the rapper was denied any lenience. Now the rapper has a mandatory release scheduled for October 6 of this year. The date will mark eight years and seven months served; he began his sentence in April of 2001, when he was 22 years old.
Now this is crazy because about a week or 2 ago, we were at the Royer Rogers eating, talking about the Shyne incident and how if and when he was gonna come back.
Another thing I have to point out is:
WTF is it with all these EX BaD BoY Rappers going religious?!
Now I know that when Shyne gets out he's most likely not going to be putting out his thug music he was doing in the past. Most likely, I can see him doing some craziness and moving to Israel and becoming a religious servant. Who knows what to expect for his future out in the real world again, Its been a long time coming!
