He didn't beat the rap.
A federal jury convicted aspiring hip hop artist Ronald (Ra Diggs) Herron of racketeering, drug trafficking and the murders of three rivals after only one day of deliberations in Brooklyn Federal Court.
Herron remained stoic as the jury foreman pronounced him guilty of all 21 counts in the indictment. He faces a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole when he is sentenced on Oct. 1 by Judge Nicholas Garaufis.
The sister of murder victim Victor Zapata and several supporters of Herron wept quietly in the courtroom.
Prosecutors took the unusual step of using Herron’s rap lyrics and YouTube videos as evidence against him in the trial — he boasted of beating a murder case, retaliating against drug rivals and being a high-ranking member of the Bloods gang.
Herron’s defense team called an expert on rap music, Lehigh University professor James Peterson, to argue that the lyrics are written forms of art and should not be interpreted literally.
In a risky move, Herron took the witness stand in his own defense and insisted that the violent content of his lyrics was “exaggeration” and “hyperbole.”
Federal prosecutors, the FBI and the NYPD teamed up to take down Herron’s drug crew, which had been terrorizing the Gowanus Houses.
"Ronald Herron and his gang of thugs preyed on their community while glorifying their criminal lifestyle," said Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch.
"He styled himself a rap artist, but the jury’s verdict makes clear who Herron really is, a drug dealer and murderer who sought power through fear and intimidation.”

A Chris Brown reality TV show could be on it's way if BET executives get their wish. The network wants to chronicle the singer's life following his 2 month stint in a Los Angeles County jail.
Brown doesn't need the money or publicity, but the show could go a long way in helping him to continue rehabilitating his public image.
The singer has reportedly quit smoking weed, distanced himself from negative influences in his life and is taking medication to stabilize his recently diagnosed bipolar condition.
According to TMZ, several production companies are trying to sign Chris because BET has guaranteed it would air the show if it materializes. So far the "Deuces" hit maker hasn't put his name on the dotted line.
A focus group in San Fernando Valley comprised of African American females was asked Tuesday, June 24, if they would tune in if the show airs. The majority said they would, mainly to see if Chris could stay out of trouble.

It was only a matter of time before a record label recognized Chris Miles' talent. At 15-years old his rhyme schemes and wordplay are better than most rappers twice his age. He impressed Cam'Ron enough for the Dipset leader to feature him on his 2013 mixtape, Ghetto Heaven Vol. 1.
TMZ reports that Chris has inked a record deal with Warner/Chappell for potentially as many as 5 albums. The deal includes a $182,500 advance for the first album. If that one performs well, the next 4 albums could net Chris $1.5 million, plus royalties.
Congrats to Chris!

R. Kelly is having a hard time accepting the fact he has a transgender child. The singer's 14-year old daughter, born Jaya Kelly, came out out publicly as a boy and want to be referred to as Jay.
One of Kelly's relatives is upset with him because he refuses to use the name Jay when speaking to or about his daughter.
"That's like calling him [R. Kelly] a background singer, not the king of R&B," Andrea Kelly told TMZ.
The "I Believe I Can Fly" hit maker recently spoke with Chicago radio station WGCI about the situation.
"There [are] reports of your daughter becoming, you know, your son," Nina Chantele said. "Would you like to address that? Because ... a lot of blogs are saying that you're not addressing it."
"You don't wanna really open it up with saying my daughter's becoming my son," Kelly replied. "You know what I'm saying? ... Always believe what you see, with your own eyes, that is. Always believe what you see. That's the best way to go about this business. I've heard a lot of things about a lot of people, and it was never true."
Jay also addressed the issue on Ask.fm when asked about the media attention it has been receiving.
How do you think you would handle this if you were in R. Kelly's shoes?
