At least one rapper was killed due to shooting every year as the hip-hop community, which often glorifies violence through music, has been closely associated with images of gun crime.

AceShowbiz - Also losing his life during his early career was rapper FBG Cash. The rapper, born Tristian Hamilton, sadly passed away at the age of 31 after being shot dead during a drive-by shooting in Chicago while a woman slept next to him in his car.
The Chicago-born rap artist was said to have been sprayed with bullets by a rival in the early hours of June 10. The shooting happened around 12 hours before his newest song "Crazy Lane" was supposed to debut.
Police said FBG Cash and the woman had been in the vehicle in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood around 5.30 A.M. when they were targeted. Another vehicle was said to have pulled up next to them and fired several rounds into their car before fleeing, leaving the rising star reportedly riddled with bullets.
