The DARK Side of Hip-Hop Uncovered

The DARK Side of Hip-Hop Uncovered

As rap lyrics increasingly move from albums into courtrooms, prosecutors and defense attorneys are confronting a difficult question: when is a verse artistic expression, and when is it evidence?

In this episode of Night Watch, Katie Ring examines a series of high-profile cases involving Fetty Wap, Young Thug, YNW Melly, and more – tracing how these artists and their music became central to federal indictments, RICO prosecutions, and murder trials. From sentencing hearings where lyrics were cited to sprawling cases still unfolding years later, we follow the legal timelines reshaping how hip-hop is treated inside the justice system.
