WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Brooklyn rapper Sheff G has been sentenced to five years in prison after he pleaded guilty to attempted murder and conspiracy charges linked to gang violence. Prosecutors alleged that Sheff G, real name Michael Williams, assisted in setting up shootings and that his music earnings and royalties funded his gang activity. In May 2023, Drill rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow were charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. The case is part of a wider 140-count indictment implicating 32 alleged gang members. Seventeen of the 32 have pleaded guilty. Mayor Eric Adams said at the time, “Since day one, our administration has been focused on reducing gun violence and taking aggressive action to address violent gang activity throughout the city. The actions of these 32 people put the lives of New Yorkers in danger — carrying out murder, assault, gun possession, and using stolen cars during shootings. These indictments should serve as a reminder that no one is above the law, and if you commit acts of violence in New York City you will be held accountable.” Sleepy Hallow is yet to head to trial.
