We reported this past March that Roc-A-Fella co-founder Kareem "Biggs" Burke had pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and conspiracy charges. When that news broke, it was said that he faced five years in prison and that's exactly the sentence he received yesterday in a Manhattan federal court.

In addition to the prison time, Burke had to forfeit $15,000 in cash, his $660,000 house in New Jersey, and his BMW. He was arrested back in 2010 for conspiracy to distribute more than 100 kilograms of marijuana.
