The sentence stems from Hill’s activities during a period between 2009 and 2012 and his distribution of cocaine,marijuana and oxycodone pills in Anchorage and Fairbanks.
When authorities searched Hill’s home in March of 2011, $37,000 in $1,000 bundles was discovered in his bedroom, as was about $2,000 in loose money in a bedroom drresser. Seven grams of cocaine was also found in his kitchen. Court documents points out that just prior to the authorities searching Hill’s home, Hill had been flushing cocaine down the toilet.
Hill was part of a group of rap and hiphop singers that recorded songs and posted hip hop and rap to YouTube and performed in local shows in Anchorage. Their music centered around selling drugs and committing other crimes. It was their drug activity that supported the lavish lifestyle protrayed in their music and videos.
Before sentencing, Judge Ralph Beistline characterized Hill as a “professional drug dealer” and a member of a “drug dealing group of singers.” He also pointed out that drugs poison the community.
