Kodak Black is ready to get back to making music after spending the last several months in jail. He's currently free after posting $100,000 bond Thursday, December 1, in a criminal sexual conduct case in South Carolina.
The 19-year old 2016 XXL Freshman emcee, born Dieuson Octave, spent three months in Florida's Broward County Jail after the plea deal his lawyers had worked out with prosecutors for several charges that included drug and firearm possession fell through. It was discovered at the time that he had two additional arrest warrants.
One warrant was out of St. Lucie County, Florida for two misdemeanor counts of cannabis possession.
The second warrant was out of Florence, South Carolina for felony criminal sexual conduct.
Kodak was extradited to Florence following his release from Broward County Jail earlier this week.
After posting bond this afternoon the "I Like Dat" rapper issued the following statement via Billboard.
"I'm happy to finally be going home to my family and friends. I look forward to clearing my name in the very near future. I want to thank God, my family , my team (Vanessa, Phatboy and James McMillan), Atlantic Records, my lawyers and all of my fans for your continuous love and support. I can't wait to get back to doing what I love most - working at being the illest rapper alive."

Hailing from the west side, San Diego, CA to be more exact, iLLy We$tSide is back with a new joint. It’s definitely a banger. For those who do not know much about iLLy We$tSide, just know that he is definitely a grinder at what he does. Music is something that he excels at and he is next to blow coming out of his city.
“Do It Big” is much more than a boost song from the westside lyricist, but more about his story. iLLy speaks on coming up from the bottom, making moves to get to the top, making profits, and flexing on his naysayers to say the least. The song is like an anthem. It’s a get-your-weight-up-and-crush-the-competition type of track to get you hype and more motivated than ever. For his fans, they will definitely love this track. For new and potential fans and supporters, “Do It Big” is an example of what is next to come for iLLy.

U-God believes he's been shorted money owed to him by Wu Tang Clan co-founders RZA and his brother Mitchell Diggs. He's filed a lawsuit, citing several alleged breaches of contract.
TMZ reports that U-God, born Lamont Hawkins, has a laundry list of alleged financial grievances against the brothers.
In his lawsuit the rapper claims:
1. He has not received a dime of the $2 million received from the 2015 sale the album, "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin," to Martin Shkreli.
2. His Wu Tang contract calls for him to receive 2 annual payments for group merchandise being sold. That deal is not being honored.
3. Royalty payments for his contributions to 12 Wu Tang Clan albums stopped coming 6 years ago.
U-God wants a complete accounting of all Wu Tang revenue streams. He is seeking $2.5 million.

Who would've thought that alot of old school tactics would still be super relevant in this day
and age of hip hop.Rasta B exemplifies that by giving birth to an old sound in a new generation
in the new video "ATLiens" freestyle.
Giving the roots to true Atlanta hip hop, the ATL emcee makes sure from jump not to deliver nothing
weak to where dumbing lyrics down would be an issue.Keeping it just as Outkast, Rasta serves it up
with punchlines and metaphors across the board showing lyrics do matter.This is the rebirth of hip hop
coming from ATL from this rising emcee.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A Charlotte police officer who shot and killed a black man at an apartment complex, touching off several nights of unrest in the city, will not face charges, a North Carolina prosecutor announced Wednesday.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg District Attorney Andrew Murray said Officer Brentley Vinson's actions in killing Keith Lamont Scott were justified.
Scott's family has said he was not armed.
However, at a lengthy news conference Murray displayed a nearby store's surveillance video showing the outline of what appeared to be a holstered gun on Scott's ankle, and he gave extensive details about other evidence that Scott was armed.
Plainclothes officers had gone to the complex about 4 p.m. on Sept. 20 looking for a suspect with an outstanding warrant when they saw Scott — not the suspect they were looking for — inside a car with a gun and marijuana, department spokesman Keith Trietley has said in a statement.
Keith Lamont Scott, right, with his wife and son.
Officers saw Scott get out of the car with a gun and then get back in, police said. When officers approached, they said, Scott exited the car with the gun again. At that point, officers deemed Scott a threat and Vinson fired his weapon.
Scott, 43, was pronounced dead at Carolinas Medical Center. An autopsy report from Mecklenburg County authorities says Scott died of gunshot wounds to the back and abdomen.
Vinson, who is also black, had been with the department for two years at the time of the shooting. He has been on administrative leave which is standard in police shootings.
Officer Brentley Vinson
Scott's family has said he did not have a gun, but detectives recovered a firearm at the scene, police said.
At a Wednesday news conference, Murray played a nearby store's surveillance video that appeared to show the outline of a gun in a holster on Scott's right ankle.
Body camera and dashcam recordings released earlier by the police department did not conclusively show that and city officials were criticized for the length of time it took to release police video of the shooting.
Scott's final moments also were recorded by his wife, Rakeyia, in a video shared widely on social media. She can be heard shouting to police that her husband "doesn't have a gun." She pleads with the officers not to shoot before a burst of gunfire can be heard.
The shooting led to two nights of violent protests, including a fatal shooting in downtown Charlotte the next night. The unrest gave way to several more days of largely peaceful demonstrations, and the city instituted a curfew for multiple nights.
In October, police in North Carolina's largest city invited the Police Foundation, an independent, nonpartisan organization based in Washington, D.C., to review its policies and procedures following the shooting.
The foundation has done similar reviews elsewhere, assessing police in St. Louis County, Missouri, after the unrest in Ferguson, and analyzing the response to the terror attack in San Bernardino, California.
The case was among a series across the country since mid-2014 that has spurred a national debate over race and policing.
A trial is underway in Charleston, South Carolina, for a since-fired white patrolman, Michael Slager, facing 30 years to life if convicted of murder in the death last year of a black man, Walter Scott, shot while running from a traffic stop in April.
A Minnesota police officer who shot and killed Philando Castile during a July traffic stop remains free as a manslaughter case against him proceeds.
Deaths of other unarmed black males at the hands of law enforcement officers have inspired protests under the "Black Lives Matter" moniker.
The Black Lives Matter movement traces its roots to the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012, and gained national ground after 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014.

The New York City District Attorney's drug case against Desiigner has been sealed and the charge dropped, according to TMZ.
As we previously reported, the "Timmy Turner" rapper, born Sidney Selby III was arrested in NYC on September 8, along with four friends, after another driver called police claiming Desiigner pointed a gun at him out of the window of the SUV he was in.
When police caught up with the SUV it was searched. A number of pills were found, but no gun. Cops initially thought the pills were OxyContin.
All 5 people in the vehicle were taken into custody and charged with two felonies; criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal possession of drugs with intent to sell.
Desiigner was also charged with menacing for allegedly pointing the gun and felony criminal possession of a loaded weapon.
The gun charge was soon dropped.
The drugs were tested and turned out to be steroids, most likely prescribed to the driver of the SUV.
On Tuesday, September 29, the D.A. decided to not to move forward with the drug case against Desiigner. His record is now cleared.
His attorneys , Ian Niles and Stacey Richman, told TMZ: "We're happy he's been exonerated and happy with the investigation from the D.A."
