The Cash Money Degreez blog is one of the biggest supporters of New Orleans music and has been since its inception. Because of that, a lot of rappers honor CMD by providing exclusives and other perks – CMD recently got an EXCLUSIVE with Turk from federal prison from the Forrest City facility. With his official release date being October 12, 2012, Turk’s friends, family and fans anxiously await his release. Below is the text of CMD EXCLUSIVE interview with Turk, along with a link to the actual site/interview:
[EXCLUSIVE] Here is a very special moment for the webpage. In exclusive, from Forrest City (Low) prison we contacted Turk and we asked him several questions and have reviewed his musical career. Also, I must say this is the first exclusive interview to Turk in years. In 2005, Turk was convicted on federal charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm, a fugitive from justice in possession of a firearm, and an unlawful user addicted to a controlled substance in possession of a firearm.
He was sentenced to 10 years of incarceration. In 2006, he entered an Alford plea in Tennessee state court to second-degree attempted murder, based on the same incident, and was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment. Now, Turk breaks his silence in this interview from prison:
What up Turk? What is your current situation right now? When is your projected release from jail, in October??
What’s thuggin’ my G!!!! My current situation is that I’m incarcerated at Forrest City (Low) Federal Penitentiary. My official release date is 10/12/2012.
