New York rapper Troy Ave is relying on fans to help rally behind him by putting out a new mixtape called “Free Troy Ave” Monday (June 6).

Ave changed the project’s original title, Real Vs. Fake, to now reflect his current legal crunch.

With Troy’s “Chuck Norris (Hoes N Gangstas)” dropping over the weekend (June 4) there was a slight indication that a project was to follow, and XXL can now confirm that the mixtape Free Troy Ave is set to drop at some point this afternoon or evening. All of the music contained on the mixtape was recorded before the Irving Plaza incident (May 25) with the title of the project obviously changed to reflect his current predicament. (XXL Mag)

Ave’s attorney spoke out last week on his client being a victim in the shooting.

“In the hip hop world, he’s not known as one of these troublemakers. He doesn’t live a gangster rap lifestyle,” said attorney John Stella. “What really happened here is Mr. Collins here is the real victim,” said another Collins attorney, Scott Leemon. “The person who was killed at this event, he died a hero. He was his bodyguard. He wasn’t shot by Mr. Collins. He was a lifelong friend.” (NY Daily News)
