NEW YORK (AP) A rap and hip-hop industry agent has been found guilty
of federal drug trafficking charges in New York City.
The jury verdict was reached Tuesday at the Brooklyn trial of James
Jimmy Henchman Rosemond.
The head of New York-based Czar Entertainment was charged last year with
running a coast-to-coast drug ring that used music equipment cases to
transport cocaine and drug money. The 47-year-old Rosemond had claimed
he was framed.
Rosemonds website says he was behind hits including Salt-N-Pepas
Shoop and represented The Game and other artists.
He also gained notoriety when a jailed felon tried to link him to a
mid-1990s ambush of Tupac Shakur that left the legendary rapper wounded.
He has denied any involvement.
