14 DAY TRIAL // Newly released from the Angola State Penitentiary in Louisiana, rapper Lil Boosie expresses his excitement to be out in the free world again by launching himself in an elaborate and lengthy freestyle which he recorded and posted on YouTube.
The video seems to have been shot just after he was released from prison on Wednesday, March 5, on the car ride back home and the exuberant rapper can be heard busting out rhymes in a freestyle manner, which makes some references to his arrest and, in his opinion, unfair sentence.
It's not known if he actually took the time to compose the lyrics while he was incarcerated, but the end product seemed so good that Lil Boosie thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to record and then post it for fans to see. Clearly, it's meant to impress people and also let them know that he hasn't lost touch with his musical side and plans to make a quick return to the stage.
The a capella version is titled “The Ride Home” and it features some evident references to his imprisonment. “Still a shooter, still moving, but I got my mind right/ Now I'm way richer/ What that mean?/ I'm way bigger Shackled down from my feet to my hands,” we can hear him rap, continuing with “Missing my kids, man a feeling only I can explain/ So many people held they nuts, thought I wouldn't gon' come home.”
Lousiana rapper Lil Boosie, whose real name is Torrence Hatch, was released earlier this week after serving a 4-year sentence at the Angola State Penitentiary for drug-related charges. While he hasn't spoken to the press just yet, he has planned a press conference in New Orleans alongside his record label on Monday, March 10.
Speaking about the event, one of his representatives said “He will absolutely be there. He'll be speaking to the press for the first time … after his release.”
Imprisoned in June 2010, the rapper boasts an impressive rap sheet, with charges such as the 2009 fatal shooting of rapper Terry Boyd of which he was later cleared in May 2011, as well as three counts of conspiring to smuggle drugs, which resulted in his 8 year-long prison sentence.
Out of the whole 8 years, the rapper has served only 4 and has been released for good behavior, but is set to remain on parole for another 4 years.
