This is truly unsettling since this has been a year where a number of rappers have been targeted and even killed by gun violence. Here’s just a few:
- In February, Hip Hop MC Willie Bo fatally shot by police while sleeping in his car at a Taco Bell
- In March, rapper Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed outside of Los Angeles store.
- In June, rapper Tre Da Kid was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting.
- In June, Grammy award-winning producer DJ Official was killed in a drive-by in L.A.
And let’s not forget the legendary Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur both were gunned down. The violence must end.
