Back in October 2010 Roc-A-Fela records co founder Kareem “Biggs” Burke was arrested and later convicted of drug trafficking.
For those who don’t know, Burke was Jay-Z and Dame Dash’s business partner when they launched Roc-A-Fela. He was arrested during a sting operation that picked up about 50 people for marijuana trafficking. Police said that the ring transported ton-quantities of marijuana for distribution in the greater New York area from the early 1990’s to 2010.
He plead guilty to all charges earlier this year and has now been sentenced to 5 years in prison for conspiring to distribute more than 100 kilos of marijuana.
