Armzhouse Records founder to be released from US prison on Tuesday

Everton ‘Rado’ Minott, the influential founder of Armz House Records, is poised to regain his freedom on Tuesday after spending over a decade in a US correctional facility. Minott, renowned for producing chart-topping rhythms like the ‘Forever’ rhythm, which featured prominent artists such as Alkaline and Mavado, was sentenced to 12 years in prison in 2016. His arrest stemmed from a joint operation between Jamaica’s Counter Terrorism and Organized Crime Branch (C-TOC) and US law enforcement agencies, linked to his alleged ties with the One Order gang in Spanish Town. Having served 10 years and six months at the Federal Correctional Institution in Atlanta, Georgia, Minott’s release marks a significant moment in his tumultuous journey, blending his musical legacy with a controversial past.
