22-year old drill rapper Kay Flock was sentenced to 30 years in prison in a New York court on Tuesday (Dec. 16). The rapper, real name Kevin Perez, was found guilty in March of 2025 by a jury on charges of racketeering conspiracy, attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon in aid of racketeering, and a firearm discharge offense.
“Kevin Perez used violence and fame to fuel fear and intimidation across the Bronx,” U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, said per a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of New York. “Perez and his gang members carried out a string of shootings that struck both rival gang members and innocent bystanders. Perez also used his platform as a prominent rapper to celebrate his violence: threatening his rivals, bragging about his shootings, and taunting his victims. His brazen actions unleashed a series of back-and-forth retaliatory shootings that killed and injured far too many people in the Bronx. Thanks to the hard work of the women and men of this Office and our law enforcement partners, today’s sentence brings New Yorkers what they want: violent, gun-toting gang leaders off our streets.”
He was also sentenced to five years of supervised release.
