Drakeo The Ruler is still incarcerated, awaiting a retrial in connection with a murder case that he was already acquitted for.
On July 25, 2019, he was acquitted of his murder and attempted murder charges in a Compton courthouse. However, the district attorney decided to refile charges of criminal gang conspiracy and shooting from a motor vehicle in August, two counts that resulted in a hung jury during his initial trial.
However, he will not let that get in his way as he continues to be one of West Coast’s most promising and original voices, and now back with two new singles recorded through jail phones from forthcoming ‘Thank You for Using GTL’ project.
“GTA VI” and “Backflip Or Sumn” have became instantaneously two must-listen-to songs that thrive to introduce his upcoming 18-track effort ‘Thank You For Using GTL’ inspired by the raps he sent to producer JoogSzn over the inmate telephone systems used in for-profit prisons. However the grainy voice still rides the beat with ease.
Earlier this week, Drakeo dropped his “Vintage & Adventurous ” including the not-so-subtle shot at the early release of a particular New York-based rapper. “Tell the truth, I am not 6ix9ine,” he proclaims. A number of collaborators teamed up to remix his greatest hits on Free Drakeo earlier this year including guest appearances by Danny Brown and Maxo Kream.
Earl Sweatshirt held absolutely nothing back when he blessed the “Ion Rap Beef” Remix, opening with a defiant, “F*ck the D.A., free the Ruler/ Sex cancelled, I went right for that medulla/ Talkin’ spicy hella easy, n*ggas hide behind computers.”
