One of the rappers who performed what school officials called an "intolerable" concert at a DeKalb County middle school dance is headed to prison.
Drugrixh Hect, whose real name is Dalemonte Stilley, pleaded guilty Monday to aggravated assault with intent to rob and robbery, officials said. The pleas stem from a November 2015 incident in which Stilley and two others were accused of stealing an iPhone from a man.
Stilley, 19, of Lithonia was out of jail awaiting trial when he, Drugrixh Peso and Guap Tarantino played at Salem Middle’s Valentines Day dance.
The school district said the performance was a “direct violation” to a directive given by the principal.
“As such, DCSD will take immediate and strong disciplinary action against the employees that organized or otherwise supported this unauthorized activity,” the district said when told of the concert by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
In a video of the performance on YouTube, Stilley, who likes to have his picture taken with guns and money, is shown rapping about hustling and how he makes sure to keep a Glock on him.
He can do anything he wants that way, he tells the kids.

Judge Tangela Barrie sentenced him to five years, with the first two to be in prison.
Hours after the sentencing, the rapper’s Facebook page was flooded by fans imploring #FreeHect.
Then, a message from him appeared.
“I've been given a few life lessons out here, from having my life flash in front of me to having it took and being brought back,” the rapper said. “I'm going to lay on down for a minute to clear my head. To all my fans I thank (y’all) for riding with me this far.”
