In this powerful and unfiltered episode of The Network Podcast, host Stackpack breaks down the shocking 30-year federal prison sentence of Bronx drill rapper Kay Flock — a ruling that’s sending shockwaves through hip-hop, street culture, and the justice system.
We dive deep into the details of the case, the federal RICO charges, courtroom arguments, and the judge’s message that fame won’t shield anyone from consequences. This episode goes beyond headlines to explore the collision between drill music, real-life violence, and legal accountability, asking the hard questions the culture is debating right now.
Is Kay Flock being punished for his actions — or is drill rap itself on trial?
Where does artistic expression end and real-world responsibility begin?
And what does this sentence mean for the future of New York drill and young artists coming up from the streets?
This is raw, real, and necessary conversation — powered by He Said She Said, The Spill Room, and Gender Warz Studios, exclusively on The Network Podcast.

After March twenty fifth, right his March twenty twenty five
conviction on multiple charges including racketeering, conspiracy, attempted murder, assault
with a deadly weapon in the aid of racketeering, and
related to the firearm charges as well. Judge Liam describes
Perez's actions as a part of the sting of shootings
tied to the Bronx gang known as the SEB Side DA.
(02:27):
This is said that those actions and social media reactions
showed lack of remorse. Prosecutors originally sought after the fifty
years sentence, arguing that the music and the fame inflated
his influence and.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Help promoted the fucking violence. Shit that's deep.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Perez express why he had mature, saying I was at
eighteen and that's not who I am today, But the
judge still found a sentence necessary given that the harm
was already done.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Man, they smoke Flock. Man, this shit's quit trying to
get pro off the map. No, this shit's crazy. I
can't even believe it. Bro Flock was that he's a legend.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Bro and I kind of want to get into some
you know what's going on, right, let's talk about it.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Another episode of yos is Tean Nanny Jayman, I'm rocking

we got a breaking news story. Bronx drill rapper Kflock
was just sentenced to twenty.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Five years in federal breakdown the.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Very beginning of how this turned into what it is,
and then I'm gonna just give you my thoughts after.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
On December sixteenth, twenty twenty one, a man wearing a
fifteen hundred dollars Montclaire jacket, a pair of Night Jordan
ones that haven't even been released yet, and a fourteen
hundred dollar pair of a merried playboy jeans was walking
down streets. Here he spotted in his designer fit by
a man sitting in a nearby barber shop who walks
outside to exchange words with the well dressed fellow. Within
(04:02):
the space of only a few seconds, the young man
wearing the Montclair jacket would pull out a gun an
open fire, shooting twenty four year old Oscar Hernandez in
the neck and back and leaving him to die in
the middle of a busy New York street. According to
the NYPD, the man in the Montclair jacket was Kevin Perez,
better known online as kay Flock, the most puzzing drill
rapper coming out of the Bronx. But to make matters
(04:24):
even worse, only moments before this killing took place, he
was allegedly on Facebook.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, big pause.
We'll go back. We'll go back to that exact moment.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Ross pull out a gun and open fire, shooting twenty
four year old Oscar Hernandez in the neck and back
and leaving him to die in the middle of a
busy New York street. According to the NYPD, the man
in the Montclair jacket was Kevin Perez, better known online.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
As y'all see that ten nanny pennant rade there year, Yeah, yeah,
that big ten Ny pendant. Yeah, free scrap man. I
just had to throw it in there.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Let's go, Hey Flock, the most pausing drill wrapper coming
out of the Bronx. But to make matter is even worse,
only moments before this killing took place, he was allegedly
on FaceTime with his opposition, seemingly posting this video to
social media, showing the world that he kept a pistol
inside that Montclair jacket. So why would somebody wearing thousands
of dollars of designer clubs?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Now?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Keep in mind this is very important. Everything that Rass
is saying is accurate. But I just want to point
out a very small detail if I can rewind it
to where I actually need.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
This shit to fucking be.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
So Kflock is here on the left, and next to
him is a female. I forget who this was or
was supposed to be his sister, cousin whatever, right, but
it's a girl. So when Buddy comes out at the
Biber shop, it's a confrontation, and I believe, correct me
if I'm wrong, they found a gun on dude's body.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
K Flock ends up getting picked up for this murder, right,
He gets charged with the murder at eighteen years old,
but he ends up.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
It's crazy how much online shit there is and how
much stuff people got about the case. You know, I
want to rewind and break it down. Note for the
listeners and for the people that's south bed right now listening, right,
I want to break it down.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I kind of want to rewind it. K flock right.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
He was born Kevin Perez twenty twenty three in Belmont
section of the Bronx murdage facts. In the New York's
drill scene, beginning in twenty twenty, he went all the
way up.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Going absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
At twenty twenty, his music was raw, gritty, unflinching, quickly
connected with the streets and being honest, and those collapse
pushed him into that main street buzz, that mainstream flock
had mainstream shit. Bro, it wasn't he what he was.
He was going up and y'all know it, right, And
it's just crazy how you you know, the streets and
(07:03):
it gets too messy, right, But alongside that the rise
of the violent you know, clashes on the streets. In
twenty twenty one, he was arrested after the allegations tied
to the shootings, including a high profile incident in Manhattan.
In the federal case, Perez and several others were indicted
right on rico charges. That case linked them to a
(07:24):
pattern of gang violence between twenty twenty and.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Shoe Coo victim in March two thousand, twenty five on
racketeering and violent crimes, though it wasn't acquitted for murder
charges related to the separate death after the injury accepted
to the self defense claim. Now, let's talk about with
the judge shed because the words do matter. All of
this shit matters in the case, right. Judge Blimban didn't
(07:49):
mince the words. He condemned Perez the celebration of violence
and noting that his online posts included you know, killing
them all rats of all gang members, tessified and showed
the lack of accountability. The judge recognized resids promise as
an Artit yes stretch that the violence and danger he
contributed to could not be ignored.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It just couldn't be ignored. Man.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
It just like it's cap Fled being punished for his
actions or the music that described him.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It drill rap.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Unfamily crimicized by the law enforcement it's a lot of
shit talking about what the artists responsible for the real
violence and not just the words that are part of
their story. Some argue drill music and just storytelling lyrics
about the environment, struggle and survival. Others argue, when lyrics
coincide with the actual violent acts, prosecutors will do and
use them and caught on your ass. It ain't gonna
(08:36):
be no hiding from that. It ain't gonna be no
hot in that. And then k Plot's case, prosecutors, you know,
they said his music and his social media and the
legal narratives saying that his fame helped amplify the intimidation
and the retaliation, which is a very controversial but a
real legal strategy that they wanted to go a prom
and listeners. You know, this is all over. This is
(08:56):
the collision of art in consequence. It's exactly why the
story matters and why it's like he's not gonna be
the first artist and you know, to go through this ship.
Some fings are calling it a witch hunt against drue culture,
saying that the justice system is just targeting artists because
of where they come from, because of what they do,
and ship like that. You know, what I mean, Like,
we'll see what happened next. Pack Gang hit us up
(09:17):
on socials. Do you think this instance was protected by
the community or the punishing of the arts.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
