Why A Successful Rapper Confessed To Murder 17 Years Later

Former Bad Boy rapper G. Dep sits down to tell one of the most unbelievable stories in hip-hop history.

Growing up in Harlem during the height of the crack era, G. Dep went from hustling in the streets and battling drug addiction to landing a record deal with Bad Boy Entertainment and becoming one of the label’s rising stars. But behind the success, the music, and the fame was a secret that continued to haunt him.

In 1993, at just 18 years old, G. Dep was involved in a fatal shooting in Harlem. He was never arrested for it and eventually moved on with his life, signing with Bad Boy and building a successful rap career. But nearly two decades later, the guilt became too much.

In December 2010, G. Dep walked into a New York City police precinct and confessed to the crime — 17 years after it happened.

In this episode, G. Dep opens up about growing up in New York City, selling drugs, getting arrested repeatedly, discovering hip-hop, signing with Bad Boy, working around Diddy and some of the biggest names in rap, battling addiction, and the incredible decision that ultimately sent him to prison.

He also explains what was going through his mind when he confessed, why he was willing to face the consequences, his trial and prison sentence, the road to clemency, and what it feels like to finally be free and making music again.

This is the story of G. Dep — from the streets of Harlem to Bad Boy Records, prison, redemption, and a second chance at life.
