The Setup: Feds vs. Bricc Baby
On April 8, 2025, the U.S. Attorney’s Office dropped a 25-page bombshell: the “Memorandum in Opposition to Defendant Zihirr Mitchell’s Application for Bail Reconsideration.” Filed in the Central District of California (case number CR 25-00132-FLA), this doc is the feds’ hard push to keep Bricc behind bars. Led by U.S. Attorney Bilal A. Essayli, with Kevin J. Butler and Jena A. MacCabe from the Violent and Organized Crime Section, they’re arguing Bricc is too dangerous and too much of a flight risk to be let out. They’re fighting his bail bid with everything they’ve got, painting him as a menace who can’t be trusted on the streets.
The Charges: Bricc Baby’s Legal Nightmare
Bricc is neck-deep in felon-in-possession charges—guns and ammo he’s banned from touching after racking up five felony convictions from 2010 to 2020. Let’s break down every count, with his own words straight from the wiretaps.
Count One: July 12, 2022 - Parking Lot Shooting
The feds say Bricc let off three shots in a business parking lot to scare off some robbers tryna jack him. Surveillance footage catches him squeezing the trigger, and shell casings found later pin him to the scene. He’s charged with possessing that ammo—three bullets—as a felon under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). No direct quotes from Bricc on this one, but it sets the stage for his gun-slinging pattern. This felony carries a 15-year max, kicking off a saga of him packing heat he’s got no business holding.
Count Two: June 21-23, 2023 - Home Arsenal Bust
After wiretaps light him up, cops raid Bricc’s crib on June 23, 2023. They snag a .380 caliber pistol, a 9mm pistol, a 5.56x45 caliber AK-47-style rifle, and over 125 rounds of ammo. This charge hits all that hardware, plus the ammo, under § 922(g). Bricc’s caught tryna toss some guns and rounds off his balcony into the courtyard—straight outta a call where he’d bragged about the move. On June 21, he’s beefing with his girl, K.C., who’s holding his kid. She snaps, “You’ve never apologized for treating me bad, pulling a gun out on me like this shit is cool for you… You gonna pull a gun out on me and my child though, right?” Bricc hits back, “On 6-0, yeah, you don’t get I don’t give a fuck, bitch. I don’t give a fuck. I don’t. On 6-0 crip, nigga.” That ‘6-0’ is his Rollin’ 60s Crips flex, and he’s owning the gun play on tape. Multiple guns, AK vibes, and ammo for days—another 15-year max per count, piling on his priors.
Uncharged Incident Leading to Arrest: March 18-19, 2025 - Podcast Flex and Bust
This ain’t a formal count yet, but it’s why he’s cuffed now. On March 18, 2025, Bricc’s on a live podcast with a dude he’d threatened to smoke. He flashes a Glock 26 in his waistband—caught on cam. The next day, cops hit his Gardena spot with his girl and kid there, finding that Glock, a 17-round mag with 16 9mm rounds, and another mag with 16 more—all loose, kid in reach. It’s a § 922(g) violation, plus a Cali charge for large-capacity mags (over 10 rounds, banned under Penal Code § 32310). Back on March 6, 2023, he’s on with his mom, spotting K.C. outside. He says, “She in gangland… She wanna expire early,” then asks K.C., “If she wanted to die in front of her son,” adding, “On 6-0.” Same day, he tells a homie, “I can kill [her] on 6-0.” That’s the same energy he brings to the podcast—threats, guns, no remorse. Another felony in the clip, more time if they stack it on the indictment.
Who Is Bricc Baby? From Crenshaw to Controversy
Now that we’ve covered the charges, let’s dig into who Bricc Baby really is. Zihirr Rene Mitchell, born January 6, 1988, is an American rapper and songwriter straight outta the Crenshaw neighborhood in south-central Los Angeles. He’s a street-bred artist with a mic and a mission, known as ‘Bricc Baby,’ ‘MPA Shitro,’ ‘Bricc Baby Shitro,’ and more. His life’s a mashup of beats, bricks, and beefs—here’s the full scoop.
Music Hustle
Bricc kicked off his grind with underground cuts, dropping his debut mixtape Son of a Bricc Lady in 2014 for free online—raw Crenshaw vibes. He leveled up in 2015 with Nasty Dealer, then hit again with Nasty Dealer 2 in 2016, sharpening his sound with slurred vocals and heavy trap beats. He’s collabed with big names—Young Thug, Future, Kid Ink, YG, Chris Brown, DJ Mustard—blending his gritty flow with industry clout. Wonderland Magazine pegged him as an L.A.-born, Atlanta-based rapper making waves, calling his style a “scatty hybrid of hip-hop and trap.” He told them, “Music was always the plan but I was trynna call myself a manager investing into local zone 3 artists in Atlanta like Young Thug and Duke… One day I start recording, I really love this shit.” His track ‘Pull Up’ came from always being on his phone, ready to roll up for “a jugg or politics in the hood,” pulling up faster for cash.
MPA Shitro and Peewee Longway Connection
Bricc’s MPA Shitro days tie him to Atlanta’s trap scene, where ‘MPA’ stands for Money, Power, Atlanta—a nod to the clique he rolled with. That’s where Peewee Longway comes in, a fellow ATL rapper and trap pioneer. Bricc told Wonderland, “Me and Peewee (Longway) were always business partners,” hinting at a tight bond from their early hustles. They linked up managing artists like Young Thug before Bricc stepped to the mic. Peewee’s a key figure in the MPA crew, and Bricc’s evolution from ‘MPA Shitro’ to ‘Bricc Baby’ kept that ATL flavor in his sound, even as he reps L.A. hard.
Roots and Name
Crenshaw’s his turf—South L.A.’s heart, Rollin’ 60s Crips territory. His name’s a street salute—‘Bricc’ is ‘brick,’ slang for cocaine, tied to his fam’s history. He’s said it’s a nod to his mom, who did four years in the pen for dealing, per Wonderland: “inspired by his mother who spent four years in prison for dealing cocaine.” That’s the grit in his lyrics—hard, gravelly, confident, born from a lineage of hustle.
Trouble Magnet
Bricc’s life’s a legal minefield. In 2017, he got pinched for alleged armed robbery—chased cops, bolted into a Marina Del Rey spot, gave up after hours. March 2025, he’s nabbed in ‘Operation Draw Down,’ a Rollin’ 60s Crips takedown linked to Big U’s RICO case—feds tie him to gang moves. His rap’s laced with that life—tracks like ‘Trap Out The Uber’ vibe with his street cred.
No Jumper Drama
Bricc was hosting on No Jumper, the hip-hop interview show, chopping it up with the culture’s loudest voices. But when the feds swooped in March 2025, the show cut ties fast. Post-arrest, No Jumper distanced itself, leaving Bricc’s hosting gig in the dust. It’s a blow to his clout—going from platform king to persona non grata when the heat hit.
Bricc Baby’s a Crenshaw-bred rapper with a trap soul—unique sound, ATL ties, and a life where music and mayhem collide. From underground tapes to No Jumper mics, he’s built a name, but the streets keep calling him back. The Evidence: Tapes, Guns, and Brags
The feds got Bricc on lock with a vault of proof. Early 2023 wiretaps catch him wildin’. February 20, he’s like, “I don’t respect the elders in the gang… I’ll pop anyone on 6-0.” March 6, with his mom yelling he’s tapped, he’s threatening K.C., saying, “She wanna die in front of her son,” and “I can kill [her] on 6-0.” March 28, he’s flexing, “I would body slam [her] on her neck to stop playing with me,” then drops, “How it felt to kill someone and have to go to school and play basketball the next day.” June 2023 raid seals it—guns, ammo, balcony toss he’d planned on a call.
March 2024, he’s at work, crashing out—threatens to blast folks, scraps with security, later admits, “I had a firearm on me,” with his daughter there. June 2024, he’s on the phone, boasting, “I killed more people than [you] fought… On my four babies,” holding it down even when he downplays it. March 18, 2025, podcast vid shows that Glock flash. Next day, cops grab it—matches the cam, loose in the crib. Surveillance from 2022 ties him to those parking lot shots. It’s tapes, guns, vids—Bricc’s own voice digging his hole.
His Rap Sheet: Two Decades of Grit
Bricc’s been at it since he was a teen—20 years of dirt. 2006: 17, felony narcotics, obstructing cops with threats—10 years’ probation. 2010: assault with a deadly weapon, reckless evading—chases cops, pushes a sex worker outta his ride, runs her over, tosses a gun—365 days jail, three years’ probation, two years locked for violating. 2012: drug transport—365 days, three years’ probation, revoked. 2013-2014: more drug busts in Nevada and Cali—four years’ probation, violated. 2016: criminal threats—two years suspended, three years’ probation, multiple breaches, no-bail warrant. 2020: robbery with a chase and barricade—six years in the pen. He’s a runner, a fighter, a rule-breaker.
Why the Feds Want Him Locked: The Legal Play
The feds hit him with the Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3142—no conditions can keep him in check or the streets safe. Here’s their four-pillar case:
Nature of Offenses: Shots fired, AK-47 stashed, guns waved at his fam and foes—all as a felon. It’s violent, bold, banned.
Weight of Evidence: Tapes of him spitting, “I don’t give a fuck,” and “I can kill [her] on 6-0,” guns nabbed, vids of him flexing—rock-solid.
History: Violence, ghosting cops, probation flops—he’s a flight risk with no chill. Fugitive arrests, tossing heat, zero respect.
Danger: To his kid—guns loose in the crib. To K.C.—“You gonna pull a gun out on me and my child though, right?” she says, he owns it. To the block—“I killed more people than [you] fought,” he brags. He’s a live wire.
He’s staring at 15 years per count, likely 92-115 months under Guidelines with his past—motive to jet, history to back it.
The Bail Fight: No Way Out
e’s caught with guns at home before.
The Final Call: Feds Want Him Caged
The feds wrap it: Bricc’s a loose cannon—relentless, armed, reckless. They want him caged ‘til trial, his own voice—“On 6-0, yeah, I don’t give a fuck”—and actions proving he’s too hot to roam.
Summing It Up
Here’s the quick hit: Zihirr Mitchell, aka Bricc Baby, is a Crenshaw rapper with a 20-year rap sheet—drugs, violence, evasion. Charged with felon-in-possession—July 2022 parking lot shots, June 2023 gun stash, March 2025 podcast flex and bust. Tapes catch him saying, “I don’t give a fuck,” threatening his girl and kid with, “You wanna die in front of your son,” and flexing, “I killed more people than [you] fought.” Evidence is stacked—guns, audio, video. He’s MPA Shitro with Peewee Longway ties, a No Jumper exile post-arrest. Feds say he’s a flight risk and danger—history of running, guns loose around his kid, threats on blast. Mom’s bond? Nah—his ‘6-0’ vibe says he won’t play nice. They’re keeping him locked ‘til trial, tryna shield the block from a dude who don’t stop.
