Federal authorities have indicted rap aritist Big Hutch (AKA Gregory “Hutch” Hutchinson) for conspiracy to traffic one thousand pounds of marijuana in a case pursued by agents the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Hutchinson begins serving his sentence on July 28. Hutchinson says, “I was driving, and federal marshals pulled me over, and picked me up. They told me I had been indicted for drug trafficking.” Hutch, who is a member of the rap group Above The Law, recently released his second solo album, Live From The Ghetto. He first came into prominence when his group was signed by the late Eazy-E to his Ruthless Records label.
Hutchinson has just issued a statement, saying, “My advice to my friends and associates is that if you are with one or more individuals, and you ever suspect that something unusual is going on, just jump up and say, ‘I don’t know what is going on here, but I have an important appointment,’ and leave immediately. Otherwise, if your suspicion is correct and the deal goes down bad, one of those individuals will make a plea bargain with the government and say that you were present, and knew all about the deal and the drugs. That person’s statement as to what you said or did may be hearsay, but it will be admissible under the co-conspirator hearsay rule in a federal prosecution.
His attorney, Peter Kelley, said, “It has been a pleasure representing Hutch in this matter, and it’s really unfortunate he found himself in this position.”
A music video for Hutch’s single “Lyrical Murder” has just been released through West World/Activate Entertainment.
