Shyne's Release From Prison

On August 4, 2009, a Manhattan judge signed the order that would schedule Shyne for release on October 6, 2009. Having now served over eight years of a ten year sentence on which no terms for post-release supervision had originally been placed; at the request of the Correction Department the recent re-sentencing will call for a madatory probation period of at least two and half years. Shyne and his attorney, Oscar Michelin had initially hoped to avoid this, with Shyne labeling it as being akin to "extra jail time". However Michelin did allow that the state was well within it's rights. [15] [16] [17]

In the meantime, he has been transferred back to the Woodbourne Correctional Facility, where he has spent the latter part of his incarceration, from Rikers Island where he was awaiting his parole hearing. Speculation abounds on numerous potential opportunities waiting for him on his release. It's already being rumored in some publications that Shyne has already committed to signing with rapper/producer Jay-Z's upstart Roc Nation label upon his release
