Kay Flock has been sentenced to 30 years in jail. The Bronx rapper was discovered responsible in March on expenses of racketeering conspiracy; tried homicide and assault with a lethal weapon in support of racketeering; and possession of a firearm in relation to tried homicide and assault. Pitchfork has reached out to Kay Flock’s legal professional, Michael T. Ashley, for remark.
In a press release launched after Kay Flock’s sentencing, Jay Clayton, U.S. legal professional for the Southern District of New York, mentioned, “right now’s sentence brings New Yorkers what they need: violent, gun-toting gang leaders off our streets.”
Kay Flock, whose actual title is Kevin Perez, was initially charged with first-degree homicide in December 2021—he was later discovered not responsible—and was finally named in a federal indictment on racketeering expenses, which listed him as a member of the gang “Sev Aspect” or “DOA.” Forward of sentencing, the rapper’s attorneys claimed their consumer couldn’t be the gang’s chief attributable to his “mental incapacity,” a declare that U.S. District Decide Lewis J. Liman rejected.
A part of the town’s burgeoning drill motion, Kay Flock made headway in 2021 together with his breakthrough single “Being Trustworthy” and debut mixtape, The D.O.A. Tape.
