Serving time in federal prison hasn't stopped Florida rapper Kodak Black from releasing new music, but the platinum-selling MC is still trying to get an early release for himself. The hip-hop's recent request to taste freedom earlier than expected didn't give him the answer KB wanted.
Kodak Black Aiming For Early Prison Release
Kodak Black personally reached out to prosecutors in an attempt to be freed ahead of his scheduled late-2022 release date. Reports claim his request has been denied. Kodak has remained locked up for more than a year on gun charges.
In court records filed Tuesday, federal prosecutors appeared to brush off Kodak Black’s attempts to reduce his prison sentence, writing that his motion failed to follow legal procedure or cite a valid reason why he deserves less prison time. “(Kodak Black) has not presented ‘extraordinary and compelling reasons’ supporting his request for release,” assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce O. Brown wrote in a response to the rapper’s motion. “Stated more correction, (Kodak Black) has not presented ANY reason supporting his request for release. He merely states he is not an evil person and promises to participate in community-based programs aimed at helping the ‘younger generation.’ That simply is inadequate pursuant to the statute.” (VLAD TV)
