Troy Ave Drops Personal “Roland Collins” Album

    Troy Ave follows-up his Free Troy Ave mixtape with his Roland Collins album, titled after his given name.

    The BSB rapper says he wrote the 10-track LP while sitting in jail on an attempted murder charge after a concert shooting at New York’s Irving Plaza. Ave was injured in the violence with two other people and his bodyguard was killed.

    Ave is out on $500,000 bond and is suing Irving Plaza for allowing a gun into the venue. Surveillance footage showed him wielding a gun outside a VIP area during a concert shooting in May. His legal team says its client is innocent and that the video does not show the entire story.

    Troy Ave keeps hustlin’ and besides seeking money from a lawsuit against Irving Plaza and Live Nation that he announced today, he is hoping to get some love from his fans with an album that he announced today called Roland Collins. In an Instagram post, Ave says the project, which is titled after his birth name, is dropping Friday (August 12).

    He released the Free Troy Ave mixtape from jail where he pled his case for innocence in the concert shooting at Irving Plaza and expressed his sadness at losing his friend in the violence.

    The news of a new album comes as the BSB rapper is a free man. He posted $500,000 bond in July after being arrested in the hospital for attempted murder. In the shooting, three people, including Ave, were injured and his bodyguard was killed. Surveillance footage showed the rapper wielding a gun outside a VIP green room. His legal team is saying that the video only shows part of the story and that Ave did not fire the deadly shot.

    1. So instead of laying low knowing full will he can’t make income off the album i.e. banned from bars clubs concerts venues his kids etc he’s gonna release one anyway?

      1. He can make income off the album. He just can’t do live shows. And if the album is out and then he is convicted after he can still earn income on it.

    2. Hopefully he gets introspective instead of the usual bullshit he offers… One can only hope… might listen.

      1. that guy that dumps on DJ Vlad because he got his ears stomped together courtesy of Rick Ross and them 305 dreadheads says:

        I was thinking the same thing. I know he needs some money for his legal fees but hope he isn’t talking about the same shyt that landed him in this position right now.

    3. In a way its kindof smart to release his album at this time since the club scene created quite a buzz outside his music

    4. Is he going to shoot a music video for the album? Or the surveillance footage in itself will do the job?

    5. For the life of me I can’t understand why ppl will click on an article about an artist they don’t fuck with, just to shit on the person. That shit is lame. Grow up. A lot of artists I don’t fuck with, but I won’t go to the comment section to shit on ’em. Get a life Mookie……. fuckin cornballs. Let that man make his money. FOH!!!!!

      1. Wow your life must really suck if you really defending troy average. Hop off his dick And start sucking in some oxygen, you closeted Stan.

    6. After 50, this girly voiced fuckboy takes the biggest L in hiphop history. Gets into a beef, shoots himself AND HIS BODYGUARD. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    7. He is making music and writing raps under extreme pressure..

      Lawyer not advising him to lay low until Case is in motion.

      Suing a venue over security issues was his lawyers bad advise to make him look like a victim.

      He did engage in criminal activity on camera.. Hip Hop forgot but them prosecutors aint gonna like him shooting at innocent people.

      Easy for me to watch a movie and critique it because Im not in his movie or his life.
