Ras Kass Release Date

[i get paper]

After nearly 2 years of incarceration, West Coast lyricist Ras Kass is set to be released from jail late next month. Frequentproducer/collaborator Domingo told AllHipHop.com that Ras Kass is scheduled to be freed on May 29. The rapper, real name John Austin IV, was jailed in 2007 forviolating his parole by flying to Atlanta and attending the annual BET Awards. Authorities became aware of Kass' move when he was seen freestyling in"Cipher 3" with Joell Ortiz, Flo, and Cassidy. Ras Kass' issues with the law have been a career hindrance for the last 6 years. After months onthe run, Ras Kass was apprehended by Las Vegas Police in May 2003 and served 19 months in prison for his third DUI conviction. Although nothing has beenconfirmed regarding a possible new label home, the West Coast lyricist was in preliminary talks with Def Jam and G-Unit Records at the time of his 2007arrest.

I really hope that he can find a way to put all of his extraneous BS aside and make another Soul on Ice... but I doubt it.
