After six years behind bars, Hip-Hop artist Mystikal was released from prison the other day.

The Grammy-nominated star - real name Michael Lawrence Tyler - was jailed in 2004 on charges of sexual assault and battery. He pleaded guilty after his hairstylist accused him of forcing her to perform sex acts on him and his bodyguard, according to Allhiphop.com.

Seems like just yesterday that this conviction went in against the rapper, but I’m sure he feels the six years of his life gone. The Grammy nominated artist plans to pick up his career where he left off.

He tells radio station Q93 FM, “I’m back. It almost feels like a dream. Six years off the scene for most rappers, it would be over with, but it’s a new beginning for me. Wait ’til I shake the world up now. I want reparations.”
