Bump J Released From Federal Prison - XXL
Chicago’s own Bump J is a free man after serving seven years in FCI Elkton in Lisbon, Ohio, Fake Shore Drive reports. Apparently, he was released from the prison today at 7 a.m. EST and at the time of the site’s report, was en route to his home town of Chicago.
All the way back in 2009, Bump J was sentenced to a minimum of seven years after being convicted for a 2007 bank robbery in Oak Park, IL. Now, he’s finally free.
Last year, we spoke with the Chi-Town stalwart while he was still behind bars, and the rapper whose career was temporarily derailed by his life in the streets. Although lots of things have changed since he’s been locked up, he explained that he didn’t believe rap’s evolving landscape would have much of an impact on his career going forward.
“I think it won’t be much different than when I was out,” he explained last summer. “I’ve gotten better musically because I’m just a better man, mentally. So, I think hip-hop will love me just the same, if not more. People respect struggle and stand up nikkas. I took my lick and never told, so I will always be respected as a man and that’s what’s important. Music has always been the easy part to me.”
Fans will see just how receptive the hip-hop community is to the newly freed rapper in the coming months. XXL has reached out to Bump J’s team for comment.
