Louisiana rapper Mystikal has been released from jail after serving a 6 year sentence for sexual battery and extortion charges.
Michael “Mystikal” Tyler was arrested in July 2002 along with two of his bodyguards for threatening to turn his former hairstylist in to police for cashing $80,000 worth of unauthorized checks from his bank account. So instead of going to the police, he blackmailed the stylist into having sex with him and his two bodyguards in exchange for his silence.
Apart of the terms of Mystikal’s original plea agreement upon his release from prison he also has five years of probation and he has to register as a sex offender in Lousiana.
In his first radio interview with a Louisiana radio station Q93 where he speaks on his freedom and his experience in prison with radio personality Wild Wayne.
Here are some excerpts from radio interview:
“It still feels like a dream, man,” Mystikal told Q93. “I was gone so long, all the things I achieved, all the accolades I attained, it felt like it was dream. It felt like I’d never done that stuff. But watch how I shake this world up now–I want reparations.”
“To be honest, I ain’t do nothing. I had to be God,” the rapper said about what got him through his bid. “I couldn’t have done that. When I took at it now, it seems like it was easy because it’s over with. But going through it, ah man, it was tough. I had to get out the way and let God handle it for me.”

Needless to say is grateful to about of prison. The question now is, “Will Mystikal pick where he left off”?
Apparently labels have expressed an interest in Mystikal and he does reveal he has plenty of new material written. So yes, it looks like Mystikal has hit the ground running.
