Posted by Detroit rapper Peezy was released from prison earlier this week after serving an 18-month bid behind bars on several racketeering and conspiracy charges stemming from a 2016 indictment. EMPIRE boss Ghazi Sham and Peezy’s family were there to greet him upon his release on Wednesday (February 10) with stacks of cash as a welcome home gift of sorts.

The crew was also held responsible for four murders and serious injuries to children during a 2015 shooting.
