Tekashi had faced a minimum sentence of 47 years and a maximum of life in prison when he was arrested in 2018 on charges including racketeering, possession of firearms, armed robbery and attempted murder.
It was part of a widespread crackdown on gangs in New York, during which nine members of the same gang were arrested.
He quickly abandoned his co-defendants, cut a deal with the prosecution, and agreed to be their star witness.
In court, he took the stand to describe the inner workings of the gang and his own rise through it.
