Drakeo The Ruler is reportedly headed home tonight after the Los Angeles District Attorney offered a plea deal in exchange for time served, according to Jeff Weiss, who’s been closely following the case for the past year and a half. Weiss tweeted this afternoon that “The DA suddenly offered Drakeo a plea deal for time served. He took it. The Ruler will be coming home tonight.” He followed up by crediting the sudden change of heart to last night’s election, in which voters 86ed Jackie Lacey, the incumbent District Attorney, who was defeated by challenger George Gascón.
Incredible news: The DA suddenly offered Drakeo a plea deal for time served. He took it. The Ruler will be coming home tonight. @IamMRMOSELY is free.

It's unquestionable that LA voting out Jackie Lacey last night played a major role in the DA's decision. We have every reason to be cynical, but this was a case where collective action and organization actually paid real life dividends. The nightmare is over. #DrakeoIsFree

“It’s unquestionable that LA voting out Jackie Lacey last night played a major role in the DA’s decision,” Weiss noted. “We have every reason to be cynical, but this was a case where collective action and organization actually paid real-life dividends. The nightmare is over.”
Drakeo was arrested in 2018 and charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit murder after a December 2016 shooting in Carson, California. One person was killed, two were injured, and prosecutors tried to establish Drakeo’s Stinc Team rap crew as a gang in order to charge him and other members of the collective. He was acquitted in 2019 but the DA refiled charges of criminal gang conspiracy and shooting from a motor vehicle, resulting in a hung jury during the initial trial.
While locked up, Drakeo released the mixtape Thank You For Using GTL, recorded entirely on phones from LA’s Men’s Central Jail.

![](https://honkmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/prod_track-files_922573_extra_pictures_Majeeed_1.jpeg)
Majeeed’s new song, WILL I? is about love and all the questions that come with it. Using afropop, dancehall, amapiano music styles, Majeeed creates an excellent new and familiar sound.
WILL I? delves into the universal theme of love and uncertainty that we all can relate to. Majeeed’s lyrics capture the worries about whether love will be returned, if the timing is right, and if it will be what we hope for. Instead of getting lost in these worries, the song embraces them, turning them into a rhythmic dance that invites you to move through the emotions.
The mix of afropop, dancehall, and amapiano seamlessly shows Majeeed’s ability to switch between different styles. The afropop beats make you want to tap your feet, Majeeed’s dancehall vibes bring in a bit of island flavor, and the amapiano elements add a deep, rhythmic feel to the song.
