Willie D. Planning New Song 'Cell Block Ready'; Talks Prison Sentence


Geto Boys member Willie D. has broken his silence regarding an upcoming prison sentence and is planning to drop a new single before serving a year in prison for wire fraud.

Willie D. has recorded a single titled "Cell Block Ready," which will address his upcoming prison sentence for wire fraud, after he was convicted of scamming tens-of-thousands of dollars from European victims through a company called Texas One Wireless.

"Somebody did me wrong somebody stole my phones," Willie D. told Houston's Fox 26. "And so I did the same thing to somebody else. I didn't necessarily steal their phones, I took their money and didn't ship them their orders. And I felt justified at the time. Of course now I realize I was wrong."

The rapper explained that the arrest has opened his eyes and has allowed him to change the direction of his life, in a more positive direction.

"To be honest I was grateful, it could have been a whole lot worse," Willie D. said of his prison sentence. "I sincerely thanked the judge…He could have been a whole lot harder.

"I tell you what, next to dealing with the loss of my mother, [telling me kids] was the hardest thing. Again this was a blessing in disguise. Would I have have chosen this route, no of course not. But it did allow me to take inventory of my life and get my act together."
