Juelz Santana has carved his own space in hip hop as part of The Diplomats along with an impactful solo career. However, the rapper recently revealed his career took a hit due to a police raid that went down in 2011.
While speaking to DGB for the ‘Off The Porch’ interview, Santana revealed police conducted a raid on his studio in New Jersey in 2011 and deleted a gang of music from his hard drive in the process. “The police took my hard drives. I had over 100 songs and they erased them,” said the rapper. He continued saying, “It was crazy. They raided my studio, they took my hard drive. When I got the hard drives back them s**ts was empty. Over 100 songs gone.”
Juelz noted he tried to remake some of the songs, which proved to be difficult because he didn’t write anything down. “That discouraged me, that was around the time I shut down a lot. It was really discouraging because, you know to lose that amount of records that I worked so hard on and was getting ready to put out. It was crazy,” said Santana.
