I'm always happy to hear when young brothers are doing their best to be positive. This is especially true when their circumstances are anything but positive. Though rapper Young Turk is locked up behind bars, he found time to do something positive and hopefully take a step in the right direction for his life and his freedom. He reached out to Allhiphop.com and they are reporting this story:
(AllHipHop News) Incarcerated rapper Turk recently reached a milestone while behind bars, as he approaches his pending release date.
The rapper reached out to AllHipHop.com, to reveal that he recently received his high school diploma.
Turk, who’s been incarcerated the past nine years, recently graduated from high school courses at Forrest City, Arkansas.
The accomplishment comes just one month before Turk is finally released from the federal prison facility.
Turk has served nine years in prison for a weapons violation
conviction over a wild shootout in 2005, with Memphis S.W.A.T. Team
members.
