Former rapper and online hip-hop podcaster Taxstone was slapped with a 35-year prison sentence Tuesday for the infamous 2016 Irving Plaza shooting that left a rival musician’s bodyguard dead.

The Brooklyn-born rapper, whose real name is Daryl Campbell, was ordered to serve the sentence in state prison, followed by five years of post-release supervision for the killing of Ronald “Banga” McPhatter — the friend and bodyguard of his nemesis, rapper Troy Ave aka Roland Collins.

“Daryl Campbell used a firearm to target his rival, which led to loss of a life and serious injuries to innocent bystanders,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement.

“Gun violence cannot be used as a way to address conflict. The toll of guns continues to be staggeringly high and it is horrific that a night out at a concert ended tragically.”
