“Some days I’m maintaining, but I’m missing my family and the life I had out there. My first seven months I was in population, but since June I’ve been on 23-hour lockdown.They said they’re trying to protect me because of who I am. They got people get stabbed here, killed here. Pretty rough people here. A lot of rats here, snitches.
“[I'm here] ’cause of the songs I made, before I was indicted, about the police in Baton Rouge and what’s going on here. There’s a lot with our record label, that the system don’t like… They took my hard drive out of my house after I got arrested. I have albums for days in there. They still haven’t returned it. They’ve had it for damn near a year now. I need that music.”
It was heartbreaking to hear about this story involving a deceased 89-year-old lady and her 48-year-old twin sons. Adult Protective Services went to a home in Houston to check on Sybil Berndt, the mother, only to find her dead on the floor.
According to the reports, Ms. Berndt had been lying on the floor and decomposing for more than three months. Her twin sons told the authorities that she fell and that they just left her there. Reports share that she had been on the floor since January 13 of this year…(jeezus).

And I understand it’s always going to be violence but, we just need to regulate it so we can at least have a peace resolve. Or else we gonna all die..we all gonna to be destroyed.”
