Incarcerated music executive James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond has come forward to speak out on rap newcomer Bobby Shmurda being arrested on a gun charge this week.
Henchman issued a statement to show support for the Brooklyn hip-hop artist.
“With everything happening with Bobby Shmurda there’s a need for a rap expert on deck, because the culture is under attack,” Henchman said while speaking with AllHipHop.com. “If they can use 50’s lyrics against me as an executive to prove murder then we all in trouble.” (AHH)
