Troy Ave appeared in a New York courtroom Friday, July 1, with his attorney John Stella for a bail hearing.
A financial package was presented to the District Attorney, who is reviewing the documents.
"We'll hopefully get him out next week. We turned over a bunch of financial documents and the D.A. is considering it," Stella told ITSAGTV. "They need more time to go through their process. She has to go through some layers of supervisors to get approval."
A bigger problem for Troy's legal team is a lack of cooperation from witnesses who were backstage at T.I.'s Irving Plaza concert in New York City, when someone began shooting on the night of May 25.
As we previously reported, NYPD detectives believe the BSB Records boss was involved in a fight with another individual or individuals prior to surveillance footage that shows him emerging from the green room firing a gun.
The theory is that both Troy, real name Roland Collins, and his friend Ronald "BSB Banga" McPhatter were shot during the scuffle.

McPhatter died from a stomach wound and Troy suffered gunshots to both legs.
Two other individuals were also shot.
Thus far, only Troy has been arrested. Stella believes he knows the reason why.
"There's a difference between the ability to arrest someone, and hold them and charge them," Stella said. "The bottom line is that they are without a witness. There's a cultural apprehension to snitching on someone else. It's a long game here. And we're hopeful that when push comes to shove down the road, that we're going to be able to hear exactly what happened inside of that green room."
