Gillie Da Kid To Drop Mixtape

Gillie Da Kid, perhaps best known for claiming responsibility for ghostwriting Lil Waynes lyrics on The Carter I and the subsequent beef with Cash Money, is releasing his first solo LP.

The solo release, entitled The Best of GDK Mixtapes, features the Major Figgas crew, of which Gillie is a member. The LP will have showcase the highlights of the renowned mixtape releases that made him a hoodhold name in the streets of Philly, according to reports from Babygrande Records.

The rapper hopes to bring prominence to his hometown of Philadelphia. "Everybody from Philly that came out didn't give back," said Gillie. [I'm] going around displaying talent, giving them a shot, letting them be seen and heardI'm working on me and my crew."

As previously reported, Gillie was arrested in Philadelphia after being accused of owning and operating two drug houses. I am confirming the fact that Gillie was indeed arrested and taken into custody by the Philadelphia Police Department on Tuesday February 6, 2007, stated Yanna B., Gillies manager, in an official statement. However, the charges against Gillie are unwarranted and once Gillie has his day in court, we are confident that the evidence against him will prove to be false. The media outlets in Philadelphia are clearly using Gillie's status as an entertainer and celebrity to draw media attention to him. This was clearly a case of him being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Gillie is in no way guilty of the charges brought against him and once all facts come to light, he will be vindicated.
