Prison can take one’s freedom, but it can’t deprive an artist of his or her musical expression.

In 1995, 2Pac‘s magnum opus, Me Against the World, famously hit shelves while the rapper was serving 18 months in prison. Despite the lack of promotion from ‘Pac, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, where it stayed for four consecutive weeks. The album, which was released in March, reached double-platinum status before the end of the year and is seen by many critics as the late rap icon’s best work.

In 2016, the hip-hop community rejoiced when Gucci Mane was released several months early from an Indiana prison. Despite being confined to a jail cell, Guwop continued to flood the streets with music throughout his nearly three-year stay. During his sentence, the Atlanta rapper dropped more than 20 projects and delivered a myriad of loosies and guest features. Gucci Mane’s art-imitates-life The State vs. Radric Davis is just one of the efforts he released while behind bars.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again is another artist whose legal issues and time behind bars have robbed him of capitalizing off his huge buzz at times. However, the prolific rapper always seems to keep a slew of records in the stash. During his most recent nearly year-long bid for firearm-related charges, YB released multiple projects, including More Leaks and I Just Got A Lot on My Shoulders.

Several more rappers have kept their names alive from behind bars by releasing projects from the inside.
