“A ball of 1000 watt voltage with a razor blade growl, who never failed to steal a track — whose promise was first undercut by the DA plot to persecute the Stinc Team, & now this. An unspeakable loss.”
In 2018 Ketchy was arrested by cops after spraying graffiti for a music video.
The clip had for his and Ralfy the Plugs’s music video The Right Decision.
Due to his membership of Stinc Team and the group being branded a ‘gang’ by the Los Angeles County Distrcit Attorney, the late star was charged with “vandalism with a gang enhancement”.
He was also changed with “witness intimidation with gang enhancement”.
As a result of both charges, Ketchy served a total of two years and 10 months in prison.
Following his release in August 2020, the underground star went on to release a video for his single Another One.
