New Jersey rapper Tsu Surf was reportedly hit with a 60-month prison sentence in a case where he was initially facing 30 years on federal racketeering and firearms charges. The verdict comes on the heels of Surf’s admission of guilt in a case characterized by his affiliation with the Rollin’ 60s Crips.
U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger unveiled the legal consequences following Surf’s plea earlier this year. Hailing from Newark himself, Surf—already a convicted felon—had previously confessed to two counts acknowledging his participation in a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) conspiracy and his unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.

Tsu Surf reportedly held a leadership position within the gang and had direct involvement in acts of violence, including a 2017 shooting incident targeting a rival gang member. In 2019, he was caught in Essex County with two loaded firearms.
Presiding Judge Wigenton also stipulated a three-year period of supervised release for the battle rap legend and $15,000 fine when he gets out of prison.
