Last year in July, Mozzy turned himself in on federal gun charges and began serving his one-year-sentence. While many believed that this meant he would see release in July of this year, recent reports indicate that the Sacramento, California native is out sooner than expected. Moreover, jail records from the USP Atwater Prison indicate that authorities actually released the rapper around three days ago as of writing this article (ergo, Thursday, May 4). While not many details emerged around his release since then, this should be promising and happy news for him, his loved ones, and fans.
Despite serving time behind bars, the 35-year-old continued to release new music to hold fans over. His most recent release, which dropped earlier in April of this year, was the Kollect Kall EP, boasting six new tracks. Furthermore, Mozzy tapped YFN Lucci, Baby Money, E MOZZY, and Celly Ru as featured guests on the short but sweet project. In addition, he also provided a few guest appearances, singles, and more while completing his sentence. Now that he's reportedly out of prison, fans should expect even more from the "Famous (I'm The One" MC.
Jail Records Point To Mozzy's Early Release
For those unaware, Mozzy is a signee to Yo Gotti's record label, CMG, as of February of last year. "Welcome to the Family @mozzy," the Memphis magnate wrote on Instagram upon the partnership's announcement. As such, he formed part of many releases from the CMG camp in the months that followed, which will surely rise exponentially in the coming year. Even if it doesn't, the increased visibility that such a signing provided keeps his name well within conversation, and all he needs is some hits to solidify it. "COCAINE MONEY GANG,” Mozzy shared in a post of his own. “Appreciate the opportunity. Big dawg."
With an official CMG chain bestowed upon him, his sentence dampened what was shaping up to be a promising career. Regardless, the rapper did his time with a lot of diligence and dignity, as it's not easy to turn yourself in like that. Hopefully the next few months see him reconnecting with family, working hard on his goals, and reentering the rap world with a vengeance.
