October 29, 2021 — Transcendent rapper Drake and revolutionary hip hop music label president James Prince have joined rap mogul Kanye West in his quest to free Gangster Disciples boss Larry (The Chief) Hoover. West has been campaigning for Hoover’s release from federal prison since 2018 when he visited the White House to brief President Donald Trump on the situation.
Hoover, 70, is one of America’s most powerful crime lords, according to the federal government. He’s been incarcerated since 1973 for ordering the murder of Southside Chicago drug dealer William (Pookie) Young. Several years before that, he founded the Gangster Disciples and soon grew it to a national presence in the world of street gangs and African-American organized crime. The Feds nailed him for racketeering and extortion from behind bars in the 1990.
Prince’s Rap-A-Lot Records out of Houston was at the forefront of the Gangster Rap genre and the founder of the Southern Rap scene. He announced his collaboration with Drake and West on Hoover’s behalf on his social media accounts last week.
