Here is a list of several well-known rappers that passed away due to gun violence. Since its origins, hip-hop has been strongly linked to images of gun violence.

Rappers from all around the world frequently use gangsta rhymes to boast about their connections to the streets as well as quotes from Scarface and Boyz n the Hood.

The majority of rappers use their music to express rather than create what is currently occurring in their communities.

Whatever the case, this has resulted in some extremely great rappers dying as a result of gun violence.

Over the years, great rap icons like 2Pac and The Notorious BIG had their lives cut short because of gin violence.

In this article, Mp3bullet.ng takes a look at recent rappers who have lost their lives to gun violence.

Nipsey Hussle

Rapper Nipsey Hussle was fatally shot outside his clothes store by a man who was angry over a conversation about snitching, a prosecutor told jurors on the first day of a protracted murder trial.

Both Eric Holder and Nipsey Hussle (real name Ermias Asghedom) were wannabe rappers who grew up in the same Los Angeles neighbourhood and belonged to the Rollin’ 60s gang. On March 31, 2019, the 29-year-old Holder shot and murdered the 33-year-old Hussle after Hussle calmly informed Holder that he was becoming known as a “snitch.”

Pop Smoke

Pop Smoke, a 20-year-old New York rapper, was killed in February 2020 in Los Angeles by four teenagers who drove up to his residence in an attempted robbery.

Pop, real name Bashar Jackson, was shot to death by a 15-year-old who was one of the five people detained in connection with the rapper’s murder, according to additional evidence from a detective working the case.

The day before he was assassinated, Jackson received an Amiri gift bag. His manager called him after he shared a picture of the gift bag which had his address on Instagram and he was advised to take it off, but it was already too late.

XXXTentacion

On June 18, 2018, while at Riva’s MotorSports in Pompano Beach, Florida, the 20-year-old XXXTentacion (born Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy) was robbed and fatally murdered in broad public. On Thursday during a hearing, a CCTV film was shown for the first time at Broward County Court.

It showed the rapper entering the dealership closely followed by two men who bought masks before leaving. A dark-coloured Dodge Journey 4×4 blocks the rapper’s departure as he gets back into his £115,000 BMW and prepares to leave the parking lot.

Two masked males can be seen in video footage sprinting toward him after getting out of the car’s passenger side doors. After a tussle, the 20-year-old is fatally shot at close range.

The men fled the scene with a Louis Vuitton bag containing $50,000 in cash, police said.

King Von

In 2020, Chicago rapper King Von was murdered in a shooting outside an Atlanta nightclub. The incident took place following the 26-year-record old’s release party for “Welcome to O’Block,” a reference to the South Side neighbourhood around 64th Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive where he was raised. King Von, whose true name is Dayvon Bennett, was sent to a local hospital, where he passed away.

Young Dolph

Young Dolph, real name Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., was shot and killed in his hometown of South Memphis’ Makeda’s Cookies in 2021 while purchasing cookies. Dolph was in Memphis for his annual Thanksgiving gift-giving event. The artist, who resides primarily in Atlanta, had plans to distribute turkeys in his former neighbourhood.

Sidhu Moose Wala

Sidhu Moose Wala, a Punjabi rapper-turned-politician who is famous with introducing rap to rural areas, was fatally shot on May 29, 2022 after being ambushed by unknown assailants in his vehicle. He had 19 bullet wounds on his body, and the post-mortem revealed that he passed away 15 minutes after being shot. At the time, police stated that “inter-gang rivalry” was probably what caused the homicide.

PnB Rock

Rakim Hasheem Allen, better known by his stage as PnB Rock, was tragically murdered on September 12 while eating lunch with his fiancée at Los Angeles legendary restaurant Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles. Witnesses said that after shooting PnB several times, the mysterious shooter stole his jewels and Rolex watch.

Takeoff

28 year-old rapper, Takeoff, who was one-third of the platinum-selling rap group Migos, was shot and killed early Tuesday, 1st of November, 2022 in Houston, Texas.

The 28-year-old rapper, real name Kirshnik Khari Ball, was fatally shot at a bowling alley in Houston where he and Quavo were playing dice around 2.30am; Takeoff was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people on the premises were shot and taken to hospital while Quavo was unharmed.

Houston police say they responded to the scene of a shooting in downtown Houston at a bowling and pool hall around 2:30 a.m. local time. One person was found dead, according to a tweet from the department.

Born in Lawrenceville, Georgia, Takeoff began performing with his uncle and fellow rapper Quavo, along with Offset, as Migos in 2008. The trio found fame with their 2013 single, “Versace.”

Burna Boy has proven to be a great and reliable feature on songs, especially on remixes.

Being able to deliver on a remix and overshadow the original isn’t a feat every artist can achieve but for Burna Boy, this has become a norm.

The Grammy artist has a lot of credible successful hits in his bag, and when it comes to collaboration, Burna has proven on several occasions why he is a worthy artist to be picked.

When it comes to making a remix of a song especially if it received great acceptance, it’s often tricky.

The major thing that matters is who jumps on the track and how much of a difference the vocalist will make.

This is also a tricky position that carries a lot of expectation and, if things go wrong, a lot of disappointment.

If the remix doesn’t eventually bang, the unhappy sensation will only last a brief time before the focus shifts back to the original song.

Sticking to the brighter side, where expectations are satisfied and even exceeded, the original song will not only retain its potency but will also become an anthem, while the spicy remix will be useful for achieving the desired effect.

However, Burna Boy is one of the few Nigerian artists whose high rate of success in usual features makes him a great addition to a remix.

Here are the Top Song remixes that feature Burna Boy and he delivered

Jerusalema (remix)- Master KG, Nomcebo Zikode

In Nigeria, Master KG’s “Skeleton Move” was a popular cross-over song for what Nigerians misinterpreted as “Bode Thomas.” In December 2019, the original ‘Jerusalema‘ was released, although it just featured Nomcebo.

Then, in June 2020, a Burna Boy remix will be released. Apart from how Burna Boy ripped the song to bits with Nigerian slang like “Woro si woro” and Zulu, the song actually took off after this version was released.

By September 2020, ‘Jerusalema‘ had been used in a Cristiano Ronaldo video and had become the world’s most-Shazammed song.

Yaba Buluku(Remix)- DJ Tarico, Nelson Tivane, Preck

The popularity of this song is a testament to Burna Boy’s influence in the Nigerian music Industry.

While the original version of this song was taking off in Mozambique and other South African countries where Amapiano was slowly taking over, it only found popularity in West Africa region after the remix.

This tune incorporates Afrobeats into the Amapiano sounds. Burna Boy infuses the established South African vibe with Yoruba street culture making for a delicious meal.

Temper (Remix)- Skales

Skales was a subject of constant mockery around the year 2015/2016. He needed something to fully signify his arrival on the music scene, especially after signing with Baseline Records.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, he released the Afro-fusion single ‘Temper,’ for which he also filmed a video.

The Krizbeatz production was absolutely exceptional, and it deserved to be defined by someone with a proper Afrobeat background.

Burna Boy, who was also dealing with some extra-musical challenges and poor press at the time, enters the picture. He brought his Fela alter ego fusing it with his signature lyrics, and the music transcended demographics. The remix was a tremendous hit as well.

Hey Boy(Remix)-Sia

In 2020, Sia released the original version of “Hey Boy“, which is from her album, “Music – Songs from and Inspired by the Motion Picture”.

In 2021, she shocked fans when she announced that she would be releasing an alternate version of the song featuring Burna Boy.

Burna Boy brings his magic potion to the Pop fused with elements of dancehall tune, putting doubting Thomas who wasn’t too sure of how a collaboration between him and Sia would sound.

Enjoy Yourself(Remix)-Pop Smoke

Pop Smoke, the American Drill superstar, died at the age of 20, putting a stop to a life and career that was on the verge of stardom.

However, his family and friends have taken efforts to immortalize him, such as the release of his first posthumous album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon, which featured renowned musicians and buzzing names such as 50 Cent and Roddy Ricch.

Nigerian talents Davido and Burna Boy appear on the deluxe edition, with the latter putting in an amazing shift with his rapping on “Enjoy Yourself,” a mellow bop propelled by Pop and Burna’s baritones.

The original version of “Enjoy Yourself” features Colombian singer Karol G.

As the African Giant gears up for the release of his new album, Twice As Tall, we compile the 10 Best Burna Boy Songs from his plethora of international collaborations.

Burna Boy has always been big on international collaborations. From the early days of his career till this time, he’s always reached across genres and eras for his musical collaborators.

This list is therefore dedicated to that part of him, but especially on the international front (on features), where he’s often tapped on account of his talent and versatility.

In the event of Twice As Tall which drops in three days, these are some of the finest Burna Boy collaborations from beyond Africa.

Sam Smith ft. Burna Boy – My Oasis (2020)

In the thick of a lockdown, British singer Sam Smith released a slow-burning love record, featuring Burna Boy.

Written by Jimmy Napes, both artists combine their unique vocals to deliver a timeless record.

“This track has been a beautiful release of emotions for me during this time,” Sam Smith said in a statement. “I’ve been a fan of for years now and am so happy to have a tune with him.”

Dave ft. Burna Boy – Location (2019)

A classic Summer anthem, Dave’s “Location” is the lightest song off his 2019 opus Psychodrama, filled with technical rap shows and vivid imagery steeped in uncomfortable real-life experiences.

Burna Boy brings some Afro Pop credence to Dave’s party-themed bars and “Location,” given its replay value, has become perhaps the most memorable Dave record.

Stormzy Ft. Ed Sheeran & Burna Boy – Own It (2019)

Set to appear on “Real Life” off Twice As Tall, Stormzy enjoys a great relationship with Burna Boy, although “Own It” is the first song between both.

A Summer classic, “Own It” followed the massive success of Burna’s fourth album African Giant and also served as the first single off Stormzy’s own project, Heavy Is The Head. 

Pop Smoke ft. Burna Boy – Enjoy Yourself [Remix] (2020)

American Drill superstar Pop Smoke passed at the age of 20, ending a life and career that was headed for greatness.

However, family and friends have made efforts to immortalize him, and one of such is the release of his first posthumous album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon which featured iconic artists and buzzing names like 50 Cent and Roddy Ricch.

On the deluxe, Nigerian stars Davido and Burna Boy feature, the latter putting in an impressive shift with his rapping on “Enjoy Yourself,” a chill bop driven by the baritones of Pop and Burna.  

Jorja Smith ft. Burna Boy – Be Honest (2019)

British R&B and Pop artist Jorja Smith collaborated on African Giant’s “Gum Body,” a fan favorite that flexed Burna’s prowess with romantic bops.

The favor was then returned on (again, a love duet) “Be Honest,” released weeks after AG.

It was the singer’s first single after the Grammy-nominated album Lost & Found (2018).

In June, the song went platinum in France, hours after it was announced that Burna Boy had topped Billboard’s list of 15 Sub-Saharan African artists, based on global views.

Major Lazer ft. Burna Boy – All My Life (2018)

Major Lazer has long revealed an interest in the sounds coming out of Africa. Two years ago, they concretized this with the release of Africa Is The Future, a tape that featured some of the best artists from Africa.

Burna Boy –who since then has featured on Beyoncé’s tape similarly, on a track of his own– featured on that tape, on “All My Life,” a gritty record which espoused on his unique life experiences (“before I turned twenty one I was already savaged out), sung authoritatively over the electronic flourishes of Major Lazer.

Mahalia ft. Burna Boy – Simmer (2019)

Off UK singer Mahalia’s debut EP Love and Compromise came “Simmer,” a song that’s been described as “effortlessly infectious, diaphanous, and iridescent.”

Over a warm production with splashes of Reggaeton and Reggae, Mahalia and Burna Boy play opposite ends of a lover duo, detailing a relationship that will be less than ideal if more’s demanded than given.

J Hus ft. Burna Boy – Play Play (2020)

When J Hus came out of prison to release an album, that body of work was ostensibly personal, packing minutes of introspection via Hus’ trademark delivery.

Although a marked difference from his earlier fusions with Afro Pop, J Hus still teamed with collaborator and friend Burna Boy for “Play Play,” a record which, as the title suggests, is a breezy fun record held down by two of the most commanding musical voices we know.

DJ Snake ft. Burna Boy– No Option (2019)

Rihanna might have wanted the beat for DJ Snake’s “No Option” (from Carte Blanche) but there’s no doubt Burna Boy rode the production perfectly.

No doubt Reggae is a most influential genre to Burna and over a thumping Dubstyle beat with visceral drums and bass, the Nigerian superstar excites, talking his sh*t as usual.

DADJU ft. Burna Boy – Donne-moi l’accord

Late 2019, French singer and songwriter DADJU put out a record with Burna Boy, off his Poison album.

“Donne-moi l‘accord” is produced by Kel P and on the bouncy beat, both artists trade braggadocio lines, a narrative held on the video. For context, the French title loosely translates to “give me the agreement.”

camp as “Personally (Remix)” alongside Burna Boy & Kalado.

Fall Out Boy ft. Burna Boy – Sunshine Riptide

Now, this is one collaboration that stunned virtually everyone. I mean… Fall Out Boy…and Burna Boy…? It turns out Pete Wentz (band vocalist and bassist) was a Burna fan.

In an interview with HMV.com, Pete explained: “I’m a big fan of the scene that’s happening with hip-hop in Lagos, with him and Mr Eazi.

So we hit him up and just let him know that we are fans. The rest came together pretty easily.

Pop Smoke, who died in February 2020 at the age of 20, has had several new songs released since his death. The rapper could also be found on Migos‘ and Polo G’s new albums.

Pop Smoke, real name Bashar Barakah Jackson, also appeared in Eddie Huang’s film Boogie, and a new song titled “AP” released as part of the soundtrack.

Pop Smoke, Skepta, A$AP Rocky, Juicy J, and Project Pat collaborated on the song “Lane Switcha,” which was released on the F9 soundtrack.

During the Culture III press tour, Quavo also revealed that he was working on a collaborative album with Pop Smoke before the superstar’s untimely death.

It’s unclear whether any of their collaborations will be included on the new album, which will be released on July 16th.

The album is now available to preorder and presave, and a trailer featuring archival audio and video footage of Pop Smoke was also released. However, no further information, such as a title or tracklist, was provided.

The 17-track album will arrive just about a year after Pop Smoke’s first posthumous album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon, which arrived in July 2020.

Pop Smoke, a prominent figure in Brooklyn’s drill scene, rose to prominence in 2018 with his debut single, “Welcome to the Party,” which later appeared on his first mixtape, Meet the Woo, released in 2019.

The sequel to that tape, Meet the Woo 2, was released in February 2020, just over a week before Pop Smoke was shot and killed in Los Angeles.

Upon its release, last year, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon debuted on top of Rolling Stone’s Top 200 Albums chart.

It later landed at Number Three on the Year-End Top 200 Albums Chart, coming in behind Taylor Swift’s Folklore and Lil Baby’s My Turn.

We have decided to take a look at Pop Smoke and his posthumous music career success.

Born as Bashar Jackson but popularly known as Pop Smoke, was an American rapper and songwriter.

He was raised in Brooklyn and began his music career in 2018 while visiting a studio with his rapper friend Gwuapo.

Later on, he recorded and released his track “Mpr Panic Part 3 Remix)”.

While in 2019, he released his breakout single, “Welcome to The Party“, which was produced by British drill producer 808Melo.

Moreover, two remixes of the song were recorded, one which featured Nicki Minaj, the other Skepta.

Furthermore, a year after on February 7, 2020, Pop Smoke released his second mixtape “Meet the woo 2“.

The mixtape featured American singers Quavo,  A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Fivio  Foreign, and Lil Tjay.

The mixtape debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200 and earned Pop Smoke his first top 10 hits in the US.

Less than two weeks after his mixtape release, he was fatally shot in his home and pronounced dead in the hospital.

Now that a year has passed and four suspects have been arrested, you cannot deny the empty crater in drill music without Pop Smoke.

Pushing the NY scene to the forefront of pop music, with the help of the UK and drill community, Pop Smoke left an irreversible mark on the genre before his death.

Of course, Pop smoke wasn’t the first drill nor the first NY drill rapper, the likes of Sheff G is enough evidence.

However, he became the frontrunner of the scene and generated a huge demand for himself.

His Posthumous Music Career Success:

During the Black Lives Movement protest last year, his hit single “Dior” became the fuel of the movement.

Videos circulated on social media of the protesters dancing to the song and marching.

However, he wasn’t present to witness these memorable scenes and moments.

On “Dior”, he pledged to “raise hell” until a friend is released from prison, a message that particularly resonated with those demanding justice in the wake of Floyd’s death.

Also in his death, Pop Smoke‘s voice has grown even louder and his fame has gone far too wide.

In the US, his singles continue to claim top spots on music charts and dominate the airwaves.

Also, his posthumous single “What You Know Bout Love” reached the top spot on the US rhythmic radio chart last month.

While his song “For The Night” featuring DaBaby and Lil Baby is now a staple among the top five played songs on urban radio stations.

These two songs combined streams on Spotify are close to 1 billion!

On the other hand, his posthumous album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon has broken limits.

The album was produced by Executive Producer 50 Cent.

Upon its release after his death, the album has debuted on Billboard 200 twice.

It debuted at number one last July and is currently at number three, clocking up an impressive 31 weeks on the chart.

The music on Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon only heightens the heartbreak.

it only proves Pop Smoke could have done more if he were alive.

However, it isn’t a new deal for a late rapper or singer to gather posthumous fame, but he is noteworthy.

Awards/Nominations 

Currently, his “Dior” hit single has been nominated for the 63rd annual Grammy Awards ceremony.

It’s been nominated for the category of the Best Rap performance.

Also, his song Himself got three nominations last year.

Of which, it won the category of the Best New Hip-hop Artist in the BET Hip-hop Awards.

Pop Smoke still lives on in the mind of many, and his legacy still lives on!
