For the first time ever since his arrest just a few weeks ago for attempted murder, Troy Ave is addressing the night of the shooting – but through a mixtape. Titled Free Troy Ave, the Brooklyn rapper tells his side of the story of what happened that night across a trio of tracks: “Intro (Troy Ave Speaks/Freestyle)”; “Intermission (Troy Ave Speaks)”; and “Outro (Troy Ave Speaks).”

Listen to the intro above and get his new Free Troy Ave mixtape below.
