A jailed drill rapper has released an EP from behind bars - using his own mugshot on the cover.

Jyrelle O'Connor raps about 'shooting people out of boredom' in the new collection, which he is promoting to his 382,000 Instagram followers using jail visuals, including a blood-spattered document stamped 'HM Prison Service'.

The 26-year-old career criminal is now set to cash in from 'Be Right Back', which is now live on Spotify and other streaming services and includes six new tracks in total.

The songs mention drugs and violence alongside threats against rivals, with O'Connor saying at one point: 'Don't make me act foolish. Used to go other side and wet [shoot] a man for boredom.'

Norman Brennan, a former police officer turned knife crime campaigner, described the EP as further proof of Britain's justice system was 'broken'.
