Tekashi 69’s Kidnapper Has Reportedly Been Sentenced To 24 Years In Prison

Tekashi 69’s legal troubles were lessened significantly when the rapper was granted an early release from prison this April. But others involved in his case are just now being put to justice. Anthony “Harv” Ellison, a member of the Nine Trey Bloods gang and the man who Tekashi accused of kidnapping and robbing him, has been reportedly served a 24-year prison sentence.

Ellison’s sentence was served Wednesday by Judge Engelmayer, the same judge who heard Tekashi’s original case, according to HotNewHipHop. Matthew Russell Lee, an independent journalist who has covered Tekashi-related legal matters closely, was present for the hearing. He live-tweeted the proceedings and claimed Ellison stood behind his actions and told the judge. “I’m not an angel,” Ellison said. “But I’m not a monster either.”

Upon announcing Ellison’s sentence, the judge reportedly commented on his gang affiliation. “This was not a book club that you chose to affiliate with,” Judge Engelmayer said. “The gang inspired fear with shooting, including in Manhattan.” Judge Engelmayer also added that the 24-year sentence could have been longer if he hadn’t taken into account the “harsh conditions of imprisonment during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Tekashi 69 originally took the stand to testify against Ellison and name the associate as one of his kidnappers in September of 2019. Ellison’s lawyer said he was potentially facing life in prison in a statement following Tekashi’s testimony, so a 24-year sentence is much lighter than originally anticipated.

Jeffery journey’s from childhood streets to new heights on latest release “ALBANIE”

Jeffery

“ALBANIE” is a high energy song that was inspired by the streets that Jeffery grew up on. Jeffery’s “ALBANIE” brings you back to where his story began. More than a tip of the cap to a familiar place, the release offers a glimpse into his own path, what kept him going and the want that was there long before others saw his potential.

Jeffery connects his current musical journey to the formative experiences that molded him, drawing on the influences of his early surroundings. It has the feel of an artist looking back on his journey, how much work it took to get where he is now, and how far he’s come.

That energy is a response to the personal significance of the title, making the song a statement of progress as well as a tribute to the location of that progress. That removes some of the authenticity of the release. Success can alter the public’s perception of an artist, but the work behind that progression often begins long before the public becomes aware of it. Jeffery connects his current dreams with his earlier self by reassuming the name he once used in his youth.

ALBANIE is a statement of growth without losing your roots. It’s a mix of personal history, determination and a lively musical style that gets people moving to the beat. Jeffery’s proud of the work he’s done with this release, but also knows the foundation it’s laid. It’s a song that bridges hometown memories and future ambition, a reminder that where an artist starts can still be a vital part of where they’re going.
