On December 27, 1999, Shyne, along with Combs and his girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, allegedly was involved in a high-profile incident at a Manhattan club which left three people injured and the 21-year-old rapper, whose debut album was pending release, facing charges of attempted murder, assault, and reckless endangerment.
This lead to rumours about Shyne's position at Bad Boy records and doubts about whether his debut album was ever going to be released.
Shyne managed to release his self-titled debut album in September 2000. Featuring very little guest appearances (Barrington Levy and 112's Slim the only two) Shyne held the album together well by himself along with excellent production from The Hitmen. The album was a huge hit on the streets and this seemed a good start of a promising career for the rapper. But there was always that trial date looming and the future was uncertain.
On June 1, 2001 Shyne was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He began serving his sentence at the maximum security Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora.
The streets have been waiting almost ten years and I believe today is the day. thesocietyonline.biz welcome Shyne Po back home to NYC. Check Shyne video Bad Boyz ft. Barrington Levy below.
