According to the New York City Department of Corrections, New York underground hip-hop fixture and former Def Jux artist, C-Rayz Walz is currently incarcerated on a felony rape charge. The NYC Corrections Department site shows C-Rayz Walz, real name Waleed Shabazz, has been held since December 13, 2019, and is scheduled to appear in court on April 15 but the COVID-19 outbreak could very easily postpone the scheduled court date. 

C-Rayz dropped his debut project, The Prelude, back in 2001 and has released several projects since including his most recent album Feel Me with Sallam Said (2014).
