Treach is also coming off a successful nationwide tour on "Jason's Lyric" playwright ... where he co-starred and rapped, reprising his role as "Alonzo" from the film.

We asked him what it'll take for today's new rappers to unlock the road to entrepreneurship as he did and Treach bluntly tells them to avoid the groupie love!!!

The OG also advises less aimless streaming and more intentional filming, especially when it can boil down to a matter of your freedom!!!

Ghislaine Maxwell Must Stay Away From Teens, Schoolyards, Arcades ... Post Prison Release

Published | Updated

With the “Epstein Files” all the rage right now, Ghislaine Maxwell has been thrust back into the spotlight as she wages a legal battle to win her freedom from prison, but what awaits her on the outside is federal oversight that will keep her every move under a microscope.

TMZ did some digging and unearthed Maxwell’s 5-year post-conviction supervised release conditions after she completes her 20-year sentence unless she gets out of prison early on appeal. Maxwell's appeal argues that she should never have been prosecuted in the first place because of a previous plea deal between the government and Epstein in his earlier trafficking case in Florida.

Winning on appeal, though, is always an uphill battle for any defendant, let alone one like Maxwell, who's connected to Epstein – arguably the most reviled criminal in U.S. history. As you probably know, Maxwell was Epstein's longtime girlfriend and associate.

Published | Updated

UPDATE

8/8 9:38 AM PT -- Prosecutors just responded to Luigi Mangione's defense team and they say they did nothing wrong.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors say they issued a valid subpoena to Aetna for account numbers and dates of when Luigi received coverage and Aetna made an administrative mistake and seemingly provided materials outside of the scope of the subpoena.

Prosecutors say they identified the error, notified the court and Luigi's defense and then deleted their copy of said materials.

Luigi Mangione's lawyers are accusing the prosecution of cheating to obtain confidential information about him ... specifically claiming they violated federal law through a recent subpoena.
