by

03 Greedo just released a statement explaining that, even though he’s out of jail, he’s not quite free yet. While authorities granted him parole and announced his release earlier this year, it seems that there’s still some ground to cover. Moreover, the L.A. MC made an Instagram post explaining the ordeal.

“Yes, I am free from prison but I am still not completely out,” he wrote. “For anyone confused I am in a halfway house for up to 6 months with a five minute phone call a week.”

Although officials locked him up in 2018 after a 2016 arrest, don’t think that he hasn’t kept busy. In fact, just when his parole was announced, he released the Free 03 mixtape to fans’ surprise. Additionally, the 15-track project featured appearances from Drakeo The Ruler, OhGeesy, KenTheMan, and the BlueBucksClan. Also, it was entirely produced by Mike Free.

“Where I am I just want to see my daughter and record music,” he continued. “I wish I could have released alot more music while I was away. So, I have this chip on my shoulder to just go record n drop at least 12 tapes before my major album and I honestly just don’t want to talk to alot of people yet. I got a lot I want to clear in my head first.”

Moreover, the 35-year-old’s relationships in the industry were strong and will last for all time. When his friend Drakeo The Ruler passed last year, Greedo made a tribute post to his “evil twin.” Later on in his recent statement, he talks about his mindset following his ordeal.

“So, if I’m not recording with you or laying with you, I’m not inna rush to talk after damn near 5 years,” he wrote. “Just being honest! Salute to the GeeHive and all my supporters, I love you. Thank u for keeping me alive while I was incarcerated.
Yours Truly, Cheeto.”

Without warning, 03 Greedo just blessed fans with a brand new mixtape this week, titled, Free 03.

The Wolf Of Grape Street rapper’s latest body of work marks his first since 2020’s Load It Up, Vol 1. Free 03 boasts 15 songs in total, produced entirely by Mike Free. The latest from Greedo finds him working alongside the late Drakeo The Ruler, BlueBucksClan, OhGeesy, and KenTheMan.

Though it’s been three years since his last body of work, Greedo’s remained prolific in his output throughout his incarceration. In 2022, he also blessed fans with singles like “Drop Down” ft. KenTheMan and “Pourin’” ft. BlueBucksClan — both appear on Free 03.

Though the California rapper remains incarcerated on drug charges, it seems like things might actually be looking up in his case. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice revealed that 03 will be released on parole this week. Meanwhile, journalist Jeff Weiss, who has closely followed Greedo’s case, confirmed the news on Twitter.

“Out of respect for Greedo’s right to break the news however he wants to break it, I can’t officially confirm anything,” he wrote. “But this Texas parole info is accurate. 03 should be coming home at some point this week. A 5-year nightmare finally coming to an end.”

Following a spur of releases, a judge sentenced Greedo to 20 years in prison in 2018 after striking a deal for guns and drugs charges in Texas. At this time, Greedo was at the height of his career with collaborations alongside Lil Uzi Vert, and more.
