After securing a new record deal, Mystikal could possibly be seeing a release date from jail.

According to TMZ, the rapper was placed in jail in 2017 on first degree rape and second degree kidnapping charges. But since he has recently signed a new record deal for three unreleased projects, his attorneys are hoping that his new label will provide the rapper with enough advance money to post his bail bond of $3 million in the state of Louisiana.

In addition to his agreement with the undisclosed record company, Mystikal’s lawyer Joel Pearce announced that the rapper experienced another “big win” when the state granted their plea for a the case to be tried by a new judge.

Pearce stated in court earlier this month that his client is a wrongfully accused victim of the #MeToo movement. “I don’t think that anyone should be made to stand trial for number one, something they did not do. And number two, something that’s caught up in this political movement, the #MeToo movement,” Pearce said. “Michael is not guilty of anything.”

If able to make bail, Mystikal will be expected back in court on May 20 when his trial begins.
