Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave has announced plans to release a new album in the coming days called Roland Collins.
Ave went to Instagram Monday (August 8) with the big news.
A few weeks ago, G-Unit boss 50 Cent hooked up with Troy following a publicized jail release.
Last month, Ave’s mom helped secure a $500,000 bond by putting her New York home up to get him released from jail.
After weeks in custody being held without bail, prosecutors consented to his release on a half million. He’s required to wear an ankle bracelet and cannot leave the city, a request made by Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass and approved by Justice Ronald Zweibel. Collins must also stay away from all concert halls, bars, arenas and other performance venues. (New York Daily News)
Approached by paparazzi in June, rap star T.I. said Troy just needed to keep his faith and believe things would work out.
“I don’t want to get into, I’m not going to get into too, I ain’t going to get into no discussion about any details of any criminal case for anybody. That’s what lawyers are for. Me, myself, I got a lot of love for Troy. I just think that he has enormous attention and he has his own relationship with God and all he has to do is keep God first and he can pull through it. Sometimes there’s things that involve situations that go beyond what the eyes could see. So for things like that, you got to step out on faith and for him being able to do that, it’ll make the difference.” (TMZ)
