--------
In this candid interview, Harlem rapper G.Dep reflects on the moment he returned to a police precinct to confess details from a years-old shooting, only to learn investigators had matched his account to a homicide. The former Bad Boy Records artist explains how the revelation affected him as he was preparing music around *Ghetto Legend*, following the legacy of *Child of the Ghetto*. He also discusses why his lawyer pushed for a trial despite his confession, the guilty verdict, and the 15-years-to-life sentence that followed.
G.Dep responds to the victim’s stepbrother calling him an “idiot” for reopening painful family wounds, explaining that he understood the anger and could not control how the family processed the confession. A sobering conversation about accountability, trauma, hip-hop, the criminal justice system, and the consequences of choices made decades earlier.
