Tiny Doo (real name Brandon Duncan) is being implicated for the content of his latest mixtape, No Safety, under the charge that the violent lyrics on the release "willfully promotes, furthers, or assists in any felonious criminal conduct by members of that gang."

According to the Los Angeles Times, Duncan is a "documented gang member" affiliated with the gang in the Lincoln Park area of San Diego. In 2008, Duncan (whose alleged gang moniker is "TD") was charged with pimping and pandering, although those charges were ultimately dropped.

"We're not just talking about an album of anything, of love songs," Deputy District Atty. Anthony Campagna told the judge in open court, citing the album's cover image of a loaded revolver.

"It's no different than Snoop Dogg or Tupac," retorted the rapper's lawyer, Brian Watkins. "It's telling the story of street life� If we are trying to criminalize artistic expression, what's next, Brian De Palma and Al Pacino? Every drug gangster loves Scarface. Does it encourage violence?"
