Remember ex Bad Boy rapper Shyne who was once Puff's protege but ended up in jail after taking the rap for Diddy in '99?? Well, he'll soon be back!!



HipHopDx reports:

“After serving eight-and-a-half years of a 10 year sentence for his role in the infamous Club New York shooting on December 27, 1999, Shyne finally knows the day he will once again become a free man: October 6, 2009. That release date has already been confirmed by the parole board, but a hearing tomorrow will outline the parameters of ‘Po’s parole, details that could determine whether or not the former Bad Boy Records artist will be able to resume his recording career free of stifling restrictions….”
“What happened was when they sentenced him [in March of 2001 to ten years] they didn’t sentence him to any parole – post release supervision, which was mandatory. So the Correction Department has asked the court to re-sentence him – under the law they can do that,” explained Shyne’s attorney, Oscar Michelen, to HipHopDX. “And so the judge will decide whether to give him the maximum parole, which is five years, or the minimum parole, which is two-and-a-half years.”

If sentenced to the full 5 years of parole Shyne might not be able to leave the state of NY and will need permission to do many things. This will surely have an impact on his career, as it will limit him. I also wonder what his relationship with Diddy will be when he is released, im seeing drama. Lol
