As he awaits trial on criminal gang conspiracy and shooting from a motor vehicle charges, Drakeo The Ruler is making the most of his time. The rapper was acquitted of murder charges last year, and since that time, he's been putting in work. He recently released Free Drakeo, and now he's back with his 19-track project Thank You For Using GTL. The album, produced by JoogSZN, only hosts a few features from ALLBLACK, Rio Da Yung OG, and Lil 9.

“I’m still the same Drakeo, jail hasn’t changed me or my lyrics,” Drakeo the Ruler reportedly stated in a press release. “People should be able to say anything in their lyrics without them being used against them. I’m not involved in the shit I’m on trial for. They are using their wild imagination against me. On top of that, they actually let the snitch out, the one who was involved in the stuff I was rhyming about.”

“My message to fans is that I’ll be out soon," he continued. "I’m not guilty and I’ll keep putting music out till out I’m out. I’m going to always be myself regardless of the situation I’m in. I’m just going to get better and better.” All of Drakeo's bars were recorded over the phone while the rapper has been locked up, so check it out and let us know your thoughts.
