Atlanta Rapper Baby D In Ohio Jail
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta rapper Baby D released a new CD Tuesday but it’s unlikely he’s celebrating behind bars. Koch Records has confirmed that their artist is today, and has been, in an Ohio jail since March 26, when he was arrested for allegedly trafficking cocaine in Dayton. Baby D (above) is being held without bond in the Butler County Jail. In addition to those federal charges, the member of Atlanta’s Big Oomp Camp — probably best known for the 2000 single “Eastside Vs. Westside” — has three pending assault charges in Tennessee, according to Koch. And a warrant for his arrest in his home state was dismissed, the label says. Still, Koch put out Baby D’s third CD “A-Town Secret Weapon” yesterday, featuring guest appearances from fellow local phenoms Sean P of the YoungBloodZ, Pastor Troy, Shawty Low, Gucci Mane, BackBone and DJ Jelly. The first single, “I’m Bout Money,” is enjoying local airplay, and the video is in rotation on BET and MTV Jams. See the YouTube video below, and weigh in on how you think this will affect the still relatively underground rapper’s career.
