Just recently, Lil Boosie born Torrance Hatch was released from jail after posting a bail of $400,000. As previously reported, the rapper was jailed for allegedly assaulting someone at his Louisiana home which resulted in the rapper being arrested and detained in custody.

Rapper Lil Boosie is now coming under fire for lyrics supposedly aimed at East Baton Rogue District Attorney Hillar Moore. While the lyrics don't necessarily mention Moore by name, they clearly contain undertones aimed at the aging, white prosecutor.
Lil Boosie rapped about how Moore would probably be “dead” by the time he was released from a four-year prison sentence on previous probation violations and drug charges on the mixtape Gone Til December.
On the track “Fuck ‘Em All,” Lil Boosie raps: “fuck the D.A. and the prosecutors they all devils/Talk that smack we get you back/We all rebels.”
Later in the song, the rapper states: “Fuck the D.A. and the lawyers/your racist ass is going to hell/You’ll probably be dead when I come out of jail ya old bitch/ Your dick can’t even get hard no more, bitch you need to die/and the prosecutor’s gay/I see that from a mile away”
“I’ve read what he said, I’ve never listened to it. I can’t be deterred, I think it’s part of my job. I guess he has the right to say whatever he wants to say,” District Attorney Hillar Moore told Channel 2 News.
Lil Boosie’s lyrics have been analyzed by District Attorney Moore, who has indicted the rapper on a 1st degree murder charge in an alleged murder-for-hire plot that resulted in the October 2009 death of 35-year-old Terry Boyd.
Adrian Pittman, 36, and Michael Louding, 17, were also indicted for first-degree murder in Boyd's death.
Baton Rouge police are also looking into links that Lil Boosie, Pittman and Louding committed several other, believed to be, drug-related murders. Those murders include the February 2009 murder Chris “Nussie” Jackson and several others.
Undercover FBI Special Agent, Anthony Jung, presented to prosecutors, information that he claims directly implicates Trill Entertainment managers Melvin Vernell Jr., of Baton Rouge, and Marcus Roach, of Prairieville, who are currently being held in East Baton Rouge Parish Jail, in the shooting and attempted murder of rapper Bruce “Beelow” Moore which dates back to July 4, 2005. District Judge Mike Erwin is expected to make his decision Monday as to whether the two are entitled to bond.
Prosecutors are trying to keep the two managers held in jail until they are tried on all charges, claiming that the two are a threat to witnesses and flight risks. When the two were initially arrested in 2005 for the shooting of Moore, they were charged with attempted second-degree murder, armed robbery and illegal use of weapons. The two were released on $50,000 bond and the case was dropped one year later.
In May 8, 2009, prosecutors filed a new bill against the two charging them with attempted second-degree murder, illegal use of weapons, aggravated battery, armed robbery, aggravated assault with a firearm and possession of an illegal firearm by a convicted felon, all in connection with the shooting of Moore who survived being shot twice in the face in front of his own business, Shop Smart Music and Fashion.
The defense attorneys plan to fight the prosecutors against blocking Vernell and Roach’s bail citing that the Trill Entertainment managers are “no threat to the community” and are respectable businessmen.
Lil Boosie is facing death by lethal injection, if he is convicted of the 1st degree murder charge.
