Mozzy, membe of Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group, was once approaching mainstream notoriety after years of domination in California’s underground scene. However, after securing collaborations with Eminem, Saweetie, 2Chainz, YG, and more, the “Straight To The 4th” rapper’s growing buzz came to a screeching halt when he was sentenced to one year in prison for a federal gun charge.

Before turning himself in, Mozzy (real name Timothy Patterson) rushed to record as much music and behind-the-scenes content to hold fans over. One of his verses ended on the song “Been A While,” featured on DJ Drama’s latest album, I’m Really Like That.

After 1o months behind bars, AllHipHop reports that Mozzy was released from prison just a few days ago, on Thursday, May 4. Back in 2021, Mozzy was formally indicted. The following year, he pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing a firearm by a convicted felon. In addition to his sentence, Mozzy was hit with a $55,000 fine. He was initially expected to be released in July 2023, but apparently he was released early.

Mozzy and his team have not yet released a statement on social media regarding his rumored release.

Mozzy Releases “Kollect Kall” EP Featuring YFN Lucci, Baby Money, And More

by

Mozzy keeps it moving, incarcerated or not. On Wednesday (April 4), the rapper dropped the first song on the tracklist of his latest EP. “Free All The Lifers” features Dave-O and Jay P Bangz as producers and sees the Sacramento-born rapper bring his usual intensity. He came out swinging, calling out would-be haters with lines like, “N*ggas on the internet begging to meet the reaper / I got all these screenshots of you begging me for a feature.” It’s a reminder that even when he’s in prison, the 35-year-old is not to be messed with.

Today, Mozzy dropped his appropriately titled new project, Kollect Kall. Though the effort is less than 15 minutes long, the “Real Ones” rapper manages to speak on a wide range of topics from personal relationships to industry woes and more. It is equal parts aggressive and emotional. Every track has its place on the EP, but the final cut, “Turn Your Back,” is a definite standout. The jazz-tinged instrumental swims with reverb-saturated saxophones and vocal samples. Mozzy raps about betrayals by people he thought he could trust. “If we was brothers like we thought, we coulda fixed that,” he says, “Instead of intervening and gettin’ between us, n*gga, sit back.”

The Oak Park native might get emotional on the EP, but he also gives plenty of warnings to those who would cross him. On “It’s Over,” he tells us that he’ll never be the one that hesitates to take a shot when he needs to. “I refuse to be the one to freeze wit the blammy, that’s on granny,” Mozzy lyricizes. “They prayin’ the judge do a n*gga scandalous, they can’t stand me.”

Less than a year ago, the rapper released his sixth solo studio album, Survivor’s Guilt. Unfortunately, Mozzy began his prison sentence directly after the project dropped. He was put away on gun charges in connection with a 2021 traffic stop. At the time, his car was searched, and police officers discovered a Glock 26 and 9 rounds of ammunition. Though the recording artist’s defense team argued that it was necessary for protection and requested a probation sentence, the rapper was sentenced to federal prison.

Given Mozzy’s track record of releasing several albums every year, it’s safe to say we likely won’t have to wait long to hear more from the Sacramento native. What do you think of Kollect Kall? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop news.

Kollect Kall Tracklist:

  1. FREE ALL THE LIFERS
  2. WE ACTIVE (feat. YFN Lucci)
  3. IT’S OVER
  4. EVERY NIGHT (with Baby Money)
  5. HOLE IN MY HEART (feat. E MOZZY & Celly Ru)
  6. TURN YOUR BACK

Yo Gotti, Moneybagg Yo And CMG Show That Life Imitates Art In The Somber ‘Gangsta Art’ Video

by

People may admire the canvasses, but they can never know the full story behind each brush stroke if it isn’t told. Though Collective Music Group may appear successful on the surface, there is pain and struggle behind their journeys that makes where they are now even more laudable. Their latest video for “Gangsta Art,” featuring Yo Gotti, Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, EST Gee, Blac Youngsta and Lehla Samia, tells the story behind their work

Samia handles the hook while Mozzy, Moneybagg, Gee, Dugg, Youngsta and Gotti all tell their own stories through verses accompanied by elaborate scenes. Mozzy spits from bedside, EST Gee sits on a bench, Moneybagg Yo shows blood dripping from his shoulders, Blac Youngsta is chained up, and Yo Gotti sits in front of an oven. The only person missing from the video is the incarcerated 42 Dugg, but his energy is still felt.

“Gangsta Art” is both the opener and title track from CMG’s latest label compilation album. Gangsta Art also features Kodak Black, Coi Leray, Big30, and more across its 27 records. If CMG somehow wasn’t on radars before, they are making sure to change that with efforts like this.

Check out CMG’s “Gangsta Art” video above.

Mozzy Will Serve A One-Year Sentence After Turning Himself In For A Federal Gun Charge

Mozzy has been on quite a run over the last few years, both individually and as part of Yo Gotti’s CMG imprint. Unfortunately, the Sacramento rapper’s momentum will be coming to a halt as he turned himself in yesterday (July 28) and will serve a one-year sentence in prison for a federal gun charge.

The “Famous” artist was originally arrested during a traffic stop back in January 2021. The police then caught the scent of marijuana and went on to search the car, discovering a Glock 26, 16 rounds of 9mm ammunition, and marijuana. Mozzy was then taken in before posting his $35,000 bail.

The case was rejected by the District Attorney’s office and passed on to a local US Attorney. Mozzy was picked up by US Marshals in Las Vegas at an unrelated court appearance, upon which he and his wife split a $1 million appearance bond and he went free from his federal charge. Mozzy pled guilty this past January and aimed for just probation, which was denied. Prosecutors sought a 10-month sentence and drug counseling after he tested positive for marijuana while on pretrial release.

It is clearly an unfortunate series of events for Mozzy and he will now have to sit for a year.

As Mozzy prepares for the release of his upcoming album, Survivor’s Guilt, he calls on an all-star line-up for his latest track.

Two days ago Mozzy took to his Instagram to preview the video for his latest track, “In My Face.”

“Summer Ain’t Over,” he says in the caption.

The Fella Fella is joined by YG on the hook and 2 Chainz and Saweetie on the verses. The video takes viewers through a rump-shaking house party that perfectly parallels the vibe of the up-tempo track produced by DJ Mustard.

It is safe to say The Icy Girl came through with a standout verse within the star-studded line up. Mozzy agreed as well.

Mozzy’s newest track follows a number of progressive moves for the West Coast rapper including his new allegiance to Yo Gotti’s CMG label. Mozzy joined a roster that boasts Moneybagg Yo, EST Gee, 42 Dugg, Black Youngsta, BlocBoy JB, its newest signee GloRilla and more.

The newest CMG signee is ready to give fans a follow-up to his 2021, Untreated Trauma with Survivor’s Guilt on Friday.

Peep the new visuals for “In My Face,” below.
