ARCHIVED POST :: THROWBACK THURSDAY :: DA BRAT<br />

outside of Atlanta, Da Brat found<br />

herself in the middle of a serious<br />

physical altercation. According<br />

to reports, she got into a heated<br />

argument with a waitress at the<br />

club and was accused of striking<br />

the woman in the face with<br />

a bottle, causing numerous cuts<br />

to her face. <strong>The</strong> waitress was<br />

rushed to the hospital for treatment.<br />

Da Brat later plead guilty<br />

to felony aggravated assault and<br />

was sentenced to three years<br />

behind bars, seven years of probation,<br />

and 200 hours of community<br />

service.<br />

Da Brat was a model inmate,<br />

which allowed her the privilege of<br />

becoming part of a work release<br />

program in May 2010. After serving<br />

21 months without incident,<br />

Da Brat worked 9am to 5pm as a<br />

window maker. It was a job she<br />

grew to love and a skill she promises<br />

to continue to use long after<br />

her release from prison.<br />

On February 28, 2011 Da Brat’s<br />

long time friend, mentor, and producer<br />

Jermaine Dupri, announced<br />

her official release from prison.<br />

Eager to remind her fans she<br />

doesn’t quit as well as reintroduce<br />

herself, Da Brat released a mixtape<br />

titled Life After Death.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 11 track mixtape is available<br />

for free and includes remixes<br />

to Chris Brown’s “Look At Me<br />

Now”, Kelly Rowland’s “Motivation”<br />

and Miguel’s “Sure<br />

Thing,” as well as Jermaine Dupri<br />

produced originals Get It Get It”<br />

featuring Jadakiss and “Dumb<br />

Stupid Crazy” featuring Twista.<br />

Also since her release, Da Brat did<br />

a sexy photoshoot for VIBE shedding<br />

her thuggish tomboy look. Da<br />

Brat told VIBE she loves getting<br />

all made up and being pampered.<br />

She admitted she loves Victoria’s<br />

Secret and that she was a PYT<br />

(Pretty Young Thug).<br />

Let’s hope it’s more pretty young<br />

and less thug these days. <strong>The</strong> rap<br />

game missed Da Brat, or maybe it<br />

was just me that missed her party<br />

anthems and rapid machine gun<br />

flow. Either way, what the world<br />

needs now from Da Brat is more<br />

music, killa features, and her to<br />

take her spot amongst the rap<br />

elite.<br />

~misfit movement let’s make it<br />

count!!!<br />
