NoCap Music Video Turns Murder Case Upside Down After Being Wrongly Used In Trial

by

Court cases and trials can be messy. We have seen it unfold with Young Thug for example over the last several months. NoCap, while not a defendant in this case, is still being tied up in a murder that went down in Georgia in 2019. But, the state’s Supreme Court has just announced that a music video used as evidence for the murder conviction of Morgan Baker has been wrongfully used. According to reports from AllHipHop and 41-WMGT, NoCap’s music video for “Ghetto Angels” was a major part in the argument to find Baker guilty of the murder of Tamarco Head in Georiga in 2019. However, after further analysis the gun used in the visuals had no connection to the fatal shooting that took place.

In the documents obtained from AllHipHop, the Supreme Court had to this to say in their statement. “The rap music video was highly prejudicial. It allowed the State to introduce impermissible propensity evidence by portraying Baker as a threatening gunman, and the prosecutor severely exacerbated the video’s prejudicial impact by emphasizing that it showed Baker’s predisposition to gun violence.” They also went on to say that the prosecutor played it on three separate occasions, while questioning three witness and focusing in on the fact the video advocated for gun violence.

Morgan Baker’s Conviction Is Now Overturned

Furthermore, the Supreme court said, “[She] emphasized during her closing argument that Baker and other rap artists ‘promote[d]’ gun violence, because ‘[t]hat’s all they know,’ a pointed argument that reinforced to the jury Baker’s alleged violent character.” Additionally, the prosecutors were not able to provide any concrete evidence that Baker was carrying a gun. There is certainly more to come on this story, so stick around with us for more updates.

by

Luh Tyler wants to be known as more than just a “back flippin’” hip-hop newbie. The “Law & Order” rapper has a new single, “Weeks,” featuring NoCap, which shows that the rising rappers are here to earn their stops in the genre’s new class. The energetic song, co-produced by Al Geno and Luci G, appears on Luh Tyler’s new album, My Vision.

To drive home the rise-and-grind point of the single, director Cotto Over Did It shows Luh Tyler and NoCap’s never-ending work schedule as they fight for their spots in hip-hop.

On the track’s opening, Tyler sets the bar high by rapping, “Everybody tryna be a star, but they don’t know the feeling / Every day we on the grind, my mama know we gon’ have millions / We gon’ run that paper up, I need it up there with the ceiling / N****, if it ain’t about that bag, then I don’t want no dealings / Everybody tryna be a star, but they don’t know the feeling / Every day we on the grind, my mama know we gon’ have millions / We gon’ run that paper up, I need it up there with the ceiling / N****, if it ain’t about that bag, then I don’t want no dealings.”

by

We’ve seen countless artists tragically taken from us too soon throughout 2022. The pain certainly hasn’t been easy to endure. However, it has inspired other creatives to pay tribute to their fallen friends in beautiful ways. Most recently, Monaleo did just that on her “Miss U Already” single.

Featuring NoCap, the emotional song finds the Houston native singing to someone close to her that lost their own life. Marking her most real release to date, she gets vulnerable about the stages of grief and mental health struggles that come along with them.

“Why / Know that you hate to see me cry / But I can’t shake this feeling / This can’t be part of healing,” Monaleo solemnly sings.

As the track goes on, we hear her express her inner rage. “F*ck the opposition cause they took you / Promise I’m stepping on them n*ggas in my new shoes,” she rhymes. “These n*ggas telling giving blues clues / Whatever we did I’m taking to the grave it’s me and you.”

As a press release notes, the 21-year-old specifically aims to comfort and uplift others in a similar situation with “Miss U Already.”

Other recent endeavours have seen Mona sharing her “Body Bag” rap single, as well as a remix of Chief Keef’s “Faneto.” The latter subsequently went viral on TikTok, only expanding her ever-growing fanbase.

She’s also been showing with titles like “Beating Down Yo Block,” “Suck It Up,” and the “We Not Humping” remix featuring Flo Milli.

Finally, stream Monaleo’s “Miss U Already” collab with NoCap on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, share your thoughts on the emotional new single in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics:

F*ck the opposition cause they took you
Promise I’m stepping on them n*ggas in my new shoes
