The line between storytelling and evidence gets tested when prosecutors treat rap like sworn testimony. In this episode, Elliott Carterr sits down with Trag, calling in from a federal facility in Philly, to unpack the slow grind of pre-sentencing, the PSI process, and why the Rap Act could mean the difference between a fair trial and a narrative stacked against an artist.
This isn’t spectacle — it’s a close look at how daily life on the unit, staffing shortages, and bureaucratic delays shape a person’s outlook while the system decides their future.
Trag breaks down the facts: no recovered weapons, no DNA, no gunshot residue on his clothing — just lyrics used as evidence. We dive into how prosecutors frame bars as confessions, how jurors can misread persona as fact, and why reforms to protect artistic expression matter for anyone who values free speech.
There’s more here than law and headlines. Trag speaks on loyalty that shows up with deeds, not posts. He talks about supporting his daughter, honoring lost loved ones, and holding peace even when rumors fly. We keep it honest about who checks in during the hardest stretches and why clout isn’t a plan.
By the end, you’ll understand the PSI, the stakes of the Rap Act, and the human cost of turning art into evidence. Listen, share with a friend, and if this moved you — tap subscribe, drop a review, and pass the petition link along so the people who shape the rules hear from you.
