Above The Law frontman Big Hutch aka Cold 187um will be released from prison this Friday (July 21). The rapper is currently incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution in Forrest City, Arkansas, where he has served 105 weeks for conspiracy to traffic hundreds of pounds of marijuana. Shortly before entering prison, the rapper said unidentified men he had once been in contact with were arrested by federal agents in a drug sting. He said the men accused him of financing their drug business, a charge he denied. "I knew them through mutual friends,” Cold 187um told BETO916 in July 2004. “It was a situation where guys who were working with my company and doing their thing. I had knowledge of what was going down, but that’s it. They decided to put me in it and I was hit with a conspiracy charge." Above The Law released several critically acclaimed releases, including their debut, Living Like Hustlers and the follow up Black Mafia Life for Eazy E's Ruthless Records. According to representatives for Cold 187um, the rapper has penned over 50 songs while locked down. Fellow group member DJ K-Oss was also recently released from prison, after serving four years for possessing rock cocaine for sale and transporting the drug.
