Rock, Half of the Duck Down Records duo Heltah Skeltah was arrested Tuesday in New York and is being charged with attempted murder.
The rapper's lawyer Kenneth J. Montgomery released the following statement:
"Jamal Bush aka Roc from Helter Skelter was formally arraigned on attempted murder in the second degree and related charges. The Brooklyn District attorney’s office allege that Mr. Bush shot a known pimp and bloods gang member in the neck paralyzing him. They also allege that Mr. Bush is a pimp and this was a dispute over an alleged lady of the night. Mr. Bush categorically and unequivocally deny all charges. We eagerly look forward to trial and proving his innocence."
Rock and group-mate Ruck aka Sean Price planned to release a new Heltah Skeltah album this year. It would be their first album together since 1998's "Magnum Force."
