Lil Tjay's family recently received the best kind of news possible after the rapper was shot in New Jersey last week.

According to a report TMZ published on Thursday, June 30, Lil Tjay is conscious and talking as he continues to recover from the emergency surgical procedure he received to treat multiple gunshot wounds on his chest and neck. Doctors have removed the breathing tube he previously relied on, which is a great sign that he'll be able to make a full recovery. The best part is that the New York native's voice still sounds exactly the way it was before the shooting.

Although he made it out surgery alive, it was still a scary time for Lil Tjay. The rapper was reportedly unconscious for awhile after his surgery. He began to worry doctors after he barely showed any major signs of bodily movement despite the one instance where he moved his legs. Fortunately for Tjay, his family and his fans, he's safely recovering in the hospital.

Lil Tjay was shot during a failed robbery attempt in Edgewater, N.J. on June 22. Tjay was with two friends when he was approached by the alleged gunman, Mohamed Konte. Konte was on the run for some time before he was eventually arrested. He was charged with attempted murder, armed robbery and weapons charges. He was hit with three counts of first-degree attempted murder, first-degree armed robbery, second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon, second-degree certain persons not to possess a firearm, and fourth-degree aggravated assault.

Now that he's awake, police are interested in speaking with Lil Tjay about the shooting.
