An urban legend in the rap game, Drakeo The Ruler has been locked up awaiting trial for charges that were already acquitted. Though he's currently incarcerated, his case has continued to grow in prominence, especially within the rap community. He's getting targetted over lyrics that fall under one's rights to Freedom of Expression.
Despite a gag order, Drakeo The Ruler is making sure that his voice is heard with his forthcoming project, Thank You For Using GTL. This week, he unleashed the single, "GTA VI" that gives fans a glimpse into what he has in store on this project. Produced by JoogSzn, who's steadily been releasing records on Drakeo's behalf, the song, as well as every song on the forthcoming project, is recorded over a prison phone.
Check out the single below.
Quotable Lyrics
My life Grand Theft Auto
I'm a Rockstar
Just crashed another Bentley in the wall
I think this Grand Theft Auto
