Engelmayer relaxed his home-confinement requirements on 29 April to permit him to create his music during certain hours with approval from his Probation Department officer.
The rapper was sentenced in December after he had testified against members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang. The deal earned him leniency from charges that could have subjected him to a mandatory minimum 37 years in prison for crimes that included orchestrating a shooting in which an innocent bystander was wounded.
