Ras Kass To Be Released From Prison in May, Still In Prison Means Twitter Account Fake

After nearly 2 years of incarceration, West Coast lyricist Ras Kass is set to be released from jail late next month.

Frequent producer/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 for violating 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 on the run, Ras Kass was apprehended by Las Vegas Police in May 2003 and served 19 months in prison for his third DUI conviction. (via).

The most interesting part of this story is that – if Ras Kass is still in jail, then this Twitter account must be a fake… so Eskay/NahRight was basically arguing and beefing with a fake-ass Ras Kass. How unfortunately funny.
