Rapper Lil Boosie may be released from prison soon, release date set for early February

Mstars has some exciting news for fans of Lil Boosie. Last month, we reported that the Louisiana rapper would be released at the end of the summer but according to more recent reports, Boosie will be coming home sooner than that.

That's right. Lil Boosie's release date has been bumped up to Feb. 13.

Lil Boosie's release from prison has been highly anticipated among the hip-hop community and his return will be greatly celebrated.

Boosie was first locked up for a probation violation stemming from a 2008 drug bust. He was then indicted on first-degree murder in 2010, and acquitted last year.

The rapper, born Torrence Hatch, remains in prison on an eight-year sentence for smuggling codeine, weed, and ecstasy into the Angola Prison facility. The rapper pleaded guilty to the charge but his lawyer insists that drug incident was a set-up by an informant.

Lil Boosie was previously set to be released Aug. 18. After the release date was made public, his brother and manager Taquari Hatch clarified that he could, in fact, be out as early as Feb, as long as he completed two classes while inside.

Since Lil Boosie's imprisonment, he has gained a huge cult like following but what impact will that have on his music? Will Boosie go mainstream or will he remain an underground gem?
