Rapper Michael (Rab) Garrett allegedly hired a film crew to accompany him across state lines to film a drug deal.

An aspiring rapper should have left the camera crew in Brooklyn instead of taking them along on a road trip to Pennsylvania to allegedly peddle drugs.
The reality of the show they videotaped is Michael (Rab) Garrett now faces 10 years to life in prison after an associate was busted during a car stop by Pennsylvania state troopers and ratted him out, according to court papers.
Garrett had posted a video online showing his associates getting arrested.
Garrett, the reputed leader of a Brownsville-based crew called Together Forever Mafia, had hired the camera crew in January 2012, which later produced a video entitled “The Team Heads out to Binghamton, N.Y. and Scranton, PA.,” followed by footage of two cars leaving Brooklyn, court papers state.
The entourage had been pulled over by a Pennsylvania state trooper, who apparently smelled marijuana wafting through car windows.

The video, which was seized pursuant to a federal subpoena, next shows a screenshot of a local newspaper article describing the car stop and arrest of its occupants for possession of heroin called “Monster Mash” and marijuana.
Garrett’s lawyer James Lisa said his client’s posturing on videotapes is part of his persona, adding ‘If he’s a drug dealer, I’m a kangaroo, because he doesn’t even have enough money to pay me.’

Garrett’s reaction to the bust is documented by an image of him gathering up “piles of cash” and speaking to a lawyer on the phone to determine if he is “sure nobody is talking on nobody,” according to the papers.
