Shyne To Get Out Early

Former Bad Boy artist, Shyne, is getting out of jail a year early for good behavior...
Shyne has been serving a 10-year sentence at Woodbourne Correctional Facility stemming from a 1999 New York Club shooting. Shyne was part of a group with P. Diddy and his then girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez. Mathew "Scar" Allen and three people were hit with bullets when a gun went off in the club. Shyne signed a $3 million dollar deal with Def Jam from behind bars in 2004 and released the album "Godfather Buried Alive" but album sales were dismal. Though being released for good behavior, Shyne hasn't always been a model prisoner. In '05 he was thrown in the hole for two months after getting into an altercation with another inmate.

And by the way, did you know Shyne's father, Dean Barrow, was recently elected prime minister of Belize, and is the first black person to hold that office?
