Kay Flock, a Bronx drill rapper, was found guilty of several charges, including attempted murder and racketeering, after a high-profile trial. He was accused alongside his gang, Sev Side, for crimes committed between 2020 and 2022.
The jury convicted him of racketeering conspiracy, assault with a dangerous weapon, and firearm use in violent crimes. However, he was acquitted of murder related to these activities. This partial acquittal means his sentence, set for July, won’t automatically be a life term.
U.S. Attorney Matthew Podolsky commented on the verdict, describing Flock as a gang leader who incited fear through violence and boasted about it in his lyrics. “Kevin Perez…instilled fear across the community,” he said, highlighting the impact of Flock’s actions.
Flock, whose real name is Kevin Perez, responded to the verdict through social media, expressing some satisfaction over beating the most severe charges. He posted, “I beat the top count. I made the judge cry… Chin up chest out shit ain’t over no where near!!” His words indicate a mix of resilience and denial.
Flock’s legal battles were widely followed, not just because of his celebrity but for the serious implications of gang violence in rap culture. His popular 2020 song “Shake It” with Cardi B adds a layer of intrigue, showcasing his rise amidst the chaos.
The case also involved several others who chose plea deals before trial. The focus remained on Flock, with attention on his potential sentence spanning 20 years to life.
Social media platforms were abuzz after the verdict. His Instagram post shared by DJ Akademiks revealed his mindset amidst legal turmoil. Stay tuned as we await the sentencing in July.
Kay Flock’s conviction represents a turning point in addressing gang influence in the music industry.
