Ex-Hot Boy Turk gives first post prison interview.

#AMPtv got the word that Less than 48 hours after becoming a freed man, former Hot Boys member Turk has finally spoke on serving nearly ten years behind bars and what's next with prison now behind him.

According to Turk, he plans to drop an autobiography and work on new music.
"I'm outta here, man," Turk said in an interview. "They took [the shackles] off, after eight years, eight months, sixteen days. It's a blessing, it's a miracle. First things first, man, getting my family straight. That goes without being said. I've been working on an autobiography, I finished it, I'm about to get a deal for that -- you've got to be productive [while locked up] or you're going to go crazy. I just stayed in contact with the industry, staying abreast with what was going on, trying to educate myself as much as I can so when I did get out, I wasn't too far behind. They in trouble once they hear this music."
