One member of the collective, Cortez Haugabook, who goes by the name Traffic, has been sentenced to 25 years and 10 months behind bars.
His sentencing is for conspiracy to distribute 500g or more of meth and other drugs, as well as possession of 50g or more of meth and cocaine.
The group was operating as an organisation to distribute controlled substances, according to the United States Attorney’s Office.
Three other members of the group have also been charged with possession.
Gut, whose real name is Javontah Harris, and Skeet, whose real name is Kristian Brown, received 20 years in prison.
Torri McLaurin, who is known as T-Dub, was handed a 19-year and seven-month sentence.
Haugabook was the final member to be sentenced.
He pleaded guilty to the charges on 6 March 2024, as reported by Need To Know.
BTE uploaded 11 different videos which featured various members of the group between 2020 and 2022.
Their last video was uploaded on 18 July 2022.
The Attorney’s Office said that their videos presented images of drug manufacturing.
The group, which was based in St Petersburg, Florida, also used lyrics which explored the creation and selling of narcotics.
Authorities caught wind of the videos online and executed search warrants at member’s homes.
Detectives said they found hundreds of grams of each drug, which included meth, cocaine and fentanyl, along with firearms and make-shift business cards.
Since the news, nothing has been shared on the group’s social media page.
