<p>Atlanta lyricist and <a href="/profile/guccimane" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Gucci Mane</a> affiliate Ralo has been dealing with a federal drug case for the past three years. The artist was arrested alongside 13 other individuals three years ago <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ralo-has-decided-to-plea-guilty-in-marijuana-trafficking-case-report-news.130285.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">on charges of trafficking millions of dollars worth of marijuana</a>. Last year, it seemed like he had made reasonable strides in the case after it was reported he was granted a nearly $250 thousand bond before evidence that he was orchestrating drug deals behind bars surfaced. </p>
<p>To this day, he remains behind bars. Ralo has fortunately just received <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ralo-could-benefit-from-biden-administrations-clemency-program-news.129781.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">good news regarding the Free Ralo movement</a>, receiving a major co-sign from a former congressman in his ongoing fight to be freed. In a letter addressed to current POTUS Joe Biden shared with <em>Complex, </em>former Georgia Rep. Kwanza Hall urged the president to grant the rapper clemency. </p>

<p id="Lcw9LJ">“[Ralo] has pleaded guilty, accepted reasonability and is currently awaiting sentencing,” Hall wrote in his letter. “&#8230; As a long-time advocate for racial equality and justice reform, I truly believe that it is long past time to end the war on drugs, particularly with regard to marijuana.”</p>
<p id="Ayey6U">“During your campaign, you promised to decriminalize marijuana, release those who are <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ralo-asks-for-second-chance-in-passionate-plea-news.125655.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">still in prison for marijuana-related offenses</a> and expunge the records of those with felony marijuana convictions so that they may go on to live meaningful lives,” he continued. “… [Ralo] is very influential amongst young people throughout the nation and can be a very strong force for good working with myself and other justice reform advocates.”</p>
