NEW JERSEY – Rapper Tsu Surf was sentenced to serve five years in a federal prison Thursday for his leadership role in a drug-selling street gang.
The rapper, whose real name is Rahjon Cox, was one of ten members of the Rollin’ 60’s Neighborhood Crips charged under federal RICO statutes last year.
Cox took a plea deal, avoiding a lengthier sentence if he’d been convicted at a trial. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy and to possession of firearms and ammunition by a convicted felon this past April.
The 32-year-old rapper must serve his entire sentence because there’s no parole in the federal prison system, and he was also sentenced to three years of supervised release with a fine of $15,000, according to Daily Voice.
He’s accused of holding a “leadership role” in the street gang that sold drugs.
Cox barricaded himself in an associate’s home in New Jersey on Oct. 13, 2022, when the U.S Marshals Service’s NY NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested him.
Cox, a battle rapper released his last album “Disparu” in November of 2022, weeks after his arrest. He’s worked with artists such as Young M.A., Mozzy and more.
He remains behind bars at the Essex County Jail.
