“You know who the last real gangsta rapper was? Bobby Shmurda,” Ice-T said. “But that’s when keeping it real goes wrong … them GS9 boys … but they were bar-for-bar snitching on themselves.

Rowdy Rebel is a free man.
The New York rapper and affiliate of Bobby Shmurda’s GS9 crew was released from prison on Tuesday (Dec. 15), according to the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision website (via Complex).
Rowdy, Shmurda, and 13 other GS9 affiliates were arrested in 2014 on charges including conspiracy, murder, drugs, and weapons possession. Back in September 2016, Rebel and Shmurda pleaded guilty to conspiracy and weapons possession as part of a deal with prosecutors. They were sentenced to seven years and received credit for two years, with eligibility for release this year.

Rebel, whose given name is Chad Marshall, was arrested and charged in 2014 along with his friend and Brooklyn rap star Bobby Shmurda with attempted murder, attempted assault, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon.
29 year old Marshall had his parole hearing for his release back in August. Shmurda was denied his release back in September, who took a longer sentence so that he and Rowdy Rebel would be released at approximately the same time. Shmurda isn’t expected to be released until the end of 2021.
