Co-founder of Lupe Fiasco's First & Fifteenth record label has reportedly been sentenced to 44 years in prison on drug charges.
As SOHH previously reported, Charles "Chilly" Patton and his wife Inita were charged in 2003 for allegedly running a drug enterprise. According to the Chicago Tribune, investigators busted Chilly with 6 kilograms of heroin, with around $1 million in street value, that he kept in a storage locker.
Patton was sentenced in a Cook County courtroom last month by Judge Dennis Porter. Investigators claimed that Patton used profits from record deals to buy heroin and turn it around for street sales in Chicago.
During the case, prosecutors did not present evidence of a link between Patton's drug dealing and the recording company he owned with Lupe because they believed he had been dealing since the 80's, years before he linked up with the rapper to launch First & Fifteenth.
"There is a large amount of money that he received from the sales of heroin," Assistant State's Attorney Patrick Coughlin said. "And he was able to start up a record company."
Lupe, who was not charged, was present at Patton's house when he was arrested and he testified during the trial about phone conversations he had with Patton, which investigators believe were about heroin.
In the recorded conversations, Patton and Lupe discussed splitting up "whole yellow'' and "whole red'' ones. Lupe testified that they were referring to the mixing of music tracks and denied any involvement in drugs.
Lupe and Atlantic Records CEO Craig Kallman wrote letters to the court to vouch for Patton. Fiasco is signed to Atlantic.
"I love Charles... I am deeply saddened by his circumstances and will stand by him and his family no matter what occurs," Lupe wrote.
"Mr. Patton has played a crucial role in the development of Lupe's career," said Kallman. "Through his invaluable knowledge, advice, and guidance, Lupe has developed into one of the most refreshing artists in hip-hop music."
