Two of Tampa’s rappers ended up locked up, cutting their careers down right as they began to blow up…
Back in the mid-2000’s Tampa Tony was running the Tampa music scene with songs such as “Take It Back” and “Keep Jukin”, off his underground classic 2003 album “Y NOT”. Unfortunately, drug problems had him in and out of jail, and was sentenced to LIFE in prison off of Federal drug charges in 2007.
Tae Bae Bae released “Snatchin” and “Teco” in 2011, and by early 2012, the two songs were the hottest local songs in the clubs, even beginning to get radio play in other states. By May 2012, Tae Bae Bae was in jail, and apparently sentenced to 8 years over gun charges(?).
It’s a shame that these two rappers ended up in jail just before being locked up.
