Local Rapper Bump J Arrested for Armed Robbery

No, we had never heard of local rapperBump J, at least until he robbed a bank in Oak Park almost two years ago. After a long hunt for him, Bump J (real name Terrance Boykin) was arrested in Carbondale during what the Sun-Times calls, "a routine traffic stop." He's accused of robbing a Chase Bank in January 2007 and making off (along with an assailant) with $100,000 cash. He faces up to 20 years if convicted. And even though we haven't heard of him, apparently we've heard one of his songs: the Kanye-produced "Move Around" which has appeared in commercials and a Madden video game. Language NSFW...

This rapper must have ADD, as he didn't take the time to earn true street-cred by either dealing drugs or surviving bullet wounds.
