Jacksonville rapper Ksoo’s father faces sentencing after testifying against his son in viral murder case

The tangled and tragic saga surrounding Jacksonville rapper Ksoo (real name Hakeem Robinson) took another grim turn as his father, Abdul Robinson Sr., now awaits sentencing on November 21, 2025, for accessory after the fact in the 2020 murder of Charles McCormick.

The elder Robinson, who turned state witness under a plea deal, testified against his own son in a move that sent shockwaves through the rap community and beyond.

Despite his cooperation, the deal did not fully protect Robinson Sr. from charges, leaving him vulnerable to a conviction that could still see him serve significant prison time.

His testimony was pivotal in securing the October 1, 2025, life sentences without parole handed down to Ksoo and his cousin ATK Scotty, both found guilty of first-degree murder.

The case also saw Ksoo’s brother sentenced to 12 years in prison for his role as an accessory, deepening what has become one of the most heartbreaking family implosions in modern hip-hop.

The courtroom scenes were nothing short of emotional carnage. When the father took the stand, silence reportedly filled the courtroom as he gave detailed testimony that prosecutors said “broke open” the case. For many, it was the ultimate act of betrayal and desperation, a father choosing cooperation over blood loyalty — a decision that continues to divide public opinion.

The story has since gone viral across social media platforms, fueled by an image circulating online showing Ksoo in court beside his father’s mugshot, symbolizing the painful collapse of family ties under the weight of violence and street politics. Comments under the post have been explosive, with users accusing Robinson Sr. of “bad parenting” and “snitching,” while others defended his actions as an attempt to “do the right thing after years of wrong choices.”

Ksoo’s rise and fall have mirrored Jacksonville’s complex rap scene, where street credibility and deadly rivalries often blur lines between art and real-life crime. Once known for his aggressive drill tracks and affiliation with the ATK crew, Ksoo’s music now serves as a chilling reflection of the violence that consumed him and his family.

Legal analysts believe the father’s sentencing could mark the end of a years-long investigation that ripped through Jacksonville’s rap underground, leaving a legacy of pain, broken homes, and moral questions about loyalty, justice, and survival.

As November 21 approaches, all eyes remain on the courtroom that has already witnessed one of hip-hop’s most painful betrayals — a reminder that in this story, blood ties offered no immunity from the consequences of a violent past.
