*Foxy Brown will be back on the streets this week after serving eight months of a year-long sentence at the Rose M. Singer facility in New York's Rikers Island.

       The rapper is due for release on April 18, according to her manager Chaz Williams. In Sept., she was sentenced to a year in jail for violating her probation after several arrests, including an altercation with two nail salon employees in August 2004 and assaulting a neighbor with a BlackBerry cell phone.      

       "She did every single minute of her bid in jail, and she did it under the most severe conditions," Williams tells Billboard.com. "They had her on continuous lockdown just because she is a celebrity. They were trying to break her spirit."      

       Upon her release, Brown, born Inga Marchand, will meet with several television networks to discuss a potential documentary and reality show on her life, Williams said. The artist will also prep for the release of her oft-delayed album, "Brooklyn's Don Diva," now due May 13 via Black Rose Entertainment/Black Hand/Koch.       

       "She's going to get on top of her career again. She's ready to hit the ground running and do anything she needs to do to get her career back on point," says Williams.
