Kansas City Rapper SleazyWorld Go, Born Joseph R. Isaac, Pleads Guilty to Illegally Possessing a Firearm as a Convicted Felon; Sentencing Set for January 26, 2027
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Kansas announced that Kansas City, Kansas, rap artist Joseph R. Isaac, 28, professionally known as SleazyWorld Go, has pleaded guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He is scheduled to be sentenced on January 26, 2027, by a federal district judge who will consider the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
According to court documents, Isaac was convicted of armed robbery in Kent County Circuit Court in Michigan in 2016 and sentenced to prison. He was paroled in September 2019. His felony conviction prohibited him from possessing a firearm.
Federal law enforcement opened the investigation after seeing photos posted on social media of Isaac holding guns. On October 19, 2022, agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) followed Isaac as he drove to a parking lot in Kansas City, Kansas. After he parked, agents saw him get out and retrieve a firearm from his vehicle. Later that day, officers recovered a pistol from the vehicle Isaac was driving, and DNA obtained from the pistol was consistent with Isaac's known DNA.
The ATF is investigating the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys David Zabel and Taylor Hines are prosecuting.
