May 12, 2011 Front Page, Music No Comments

Torrence Hatch misses being Lil Boosie. He expresses his frustration below:

“Some days I’m maintaining, but I’m missing my family and the life I had out there.

“[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.”
