Sheff G, Sleepy Hallow arrested in major NYPD gang takedown

Two popular drill rap artists, Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, along with 30 other men and women, are charged in a sweeping gang murder conspiracy case in Brooklyn.
According to the Brooklyn DA, they allegedly used money from their music careers for guns, and to offer bounties on the heads of rival gang members.
FOX 5 NY's Lisa Evers had an exclusive look inside the NYPD investigation that helped build a case.

So Drill rap has nothing to do with carpentry and remodeling?

[@elijahheart9103]

Exactly! As a black law abiding citizen like myself I can definitely say that the type of rap that glorifies crime and violence has completely brainwashed 90% of the black community. And most people don't know that executives in the music industry encouraged there artist to rap about crime and violence because major rap execs not only own the rap industry they also own private prisons. Everytime a black man goes to prison they profit. There has been several documentaries about it. If anyone wants to see the documentaries I can send it to you.

Yeah, it remodels houses, cars, and entire neighborhoods with bullet holes.

Just wants a suit life , not like Zach an codey tho. He can't go on vacations, he can't take his girl overseas, they are like bonny & he is Clyde, they just wanna run it up withchu.
