Hicks was released a year early from prison for good behavior on August 2, 1996, after serving four years. At the time of his conviction, Hicks owned the record label Romp Productions.

The trial was later listed among Complex Magazine's 30 Biggest Criminal Trials in Rap History. He was sentenced to five years in federal prison after he refused a plea deal for the conspiracy charge. The police subsequently charged him with conspiracy to commit robbery, although no bank robbery was conducted and Hicks was neither with his friends nor near the location of the purported bank. When questioned by the police, Hicks stated that he did not leave the hotel therefore did not know anything.

The police stated that while Hicks was at a motel, his friends were allegedly casing a bank but had changed their mind when they saw a local Fresno TV News van in the bank's parking lot. While driving back to Vallejo the car was surrounded by the FBI, Fresno, and Vallejo police. Hicks had performed in the city two weeks prior and decided to go on the trip so that he could re-visit a woman he knew there. Like most rappers who are gunned down, his murder remains unsolved.On March 26, 1992, at age 21, Hicks was invited by friends to a road trip in Fresno. And though he will be missed, his presence remains and is ubiquitous. When Dre was gunned down in Kansas in 2004, he was at the forefront of a suddenly resurgent Bay movement. It caught on, and the word "thizz" instantly entered hip-hop lexicon, spawning an entire subgenre of imitators.
Taking a cue from the awkwardly ecstatic dances of E users, Dre introduced a new dance step that equally mocked and celebrated its participants. His 2001 track, "Thizzelle Dance," perhaps best exemplified this new approach. This new approach was perhaps a side effect of his obsession with MDMA (the word "thizz" has its origins in Ecstasy usage). And while his rhymes were still filled with gangsta tropes, he was increasingly playful, making him more mischievous than menacing. Whereas his earlier material was comprised of monotone flows that borrowed Too $hort's ghetto narratives and unapologetic misogyny, his later work found the emcee blending Shock G's nasally sonic smirk with E-40's love of language and odd vocal inflections.
Dre quickly capitalized on this notoriety, releasing multiple albums a year - in 2001 alone, he released four albums - and starting his own label, Thizz Entertainment. He became somewhat of a martyr to the Bay Area community, and upon his release in 1996 he was one of the area's most celebrated rappers. Dre continued to record while in prison and much of his work during that time dealt with various figures in the law enforcement community. He ran into a roadblock, both literally and figuratively, when he was arrested in 1991 for conspiracy to commit bank robbery. His first few albums, beginning with his 1989 debut, the Young Black Brotha EP, were competent, if generic gangsta rap. Born Andre Hicks in 1970, the Vallejo-based emcee began recording in the late 1980s. By exposing his lighter side, Mac Dre presented a more realistic and three-dimensional persona that endeared him to at least two generations of Bay Area hip-hop fans. Whereas most rappers in the gangsta rap arena bank upon humorless braggadocio and empty threats, Mac Dre took a looser, more humorous approach to the genre. Before his untimely death in 2004, Mac Dre had been a pillar of Bay Area hip-hop for over a decade.
