Despite his criminal record, the rapper has had phenomenal success this year. His mixtape, “No Ceilings” was a viral Internet success. His rock inspired album “Rebirth” was accidentally leaked when Amazon.com sent out copies of the record to those who pre-ordered. The official release date has been postponed several times, and it’s said that the album will be released on February 1st.
