This documentary traces the real record behind James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond, the Czar Entertainment founder tied for three decades to hip-hop's biggest unresolved mysteries — the 1994 Quad Studios shooting of Tupac Shakur, the 2000 shooting of 50 Cent, and the murder-for-hire conviction that actually put him away for life. Featuring Rosemond's own recorded prison interviews, Napoleon of the Outlawz, and the story of the 2008 Los Angeles Times retraction that ended a Pulitzer-winning reporter's career. Includes the March 2026 phone call between Rosemond and Kenneth McGriff Jr., and the current fight over whether a 2020 phone call with President Trump ever legally freed him.

Everything in this video is drawn from publicly available records: federal court documents, sworn declarations, contemporaneous news reporting, and the subject's own recorded and published statements. Allegations that were never proven in court — or that were later retracted — are identified as such.
