It's April 3rd. Dallas News. Today starts now. AI powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story.

Rappers Big 30 and Poo Shiesty, along with seven others, just got hit with federal charges for a violent arm robbery at a Dallas recording studio.

Back in January, prosecutors say the crew from Memphis lowered three music industry pros there for a fake business meetup, then ambushed them with guns.

Once inside the group took over the spot, holding the victims at gunpoint, enforcing them to cough up Rolex watches, cash, jewelry, and even a contract release at the point of an AK-style pistol.

One victim almost got choked out cold, and the suspects bragged about the haul on social media right after.

Big 30's lawyer is speaking out, calling the charges shocking since his client, real name Rodney Wright Jr. has no criminal past and came up in the...

Game type with Poo Shiesty, real name Lawn Trail Williams Jr. He's asking folks to hold off judging to all the facts drop.

Feds tracked them down using cell phone data, surveillance footage, rental cars, and bus tickets, leading to raids and arrests across states.

Eight out. Of nine are now in custody, including Shiesty's dead. Court hearings kick off Friday, April 3rd, at 2 p.m. where they're pushing for bond as his high stakes case heads to trial,

facing possible life, sentences that could shake up the whole Memphis rap scene.
