New court documents detail rapper PnB Rock’s final moments before he died in a California Roscoe’s Chicken And Waffle restaurant.

Charging paperwork shows the rapper and his girlfriend arrived at the restaurant before his killers got there. The documents contradict an earlier report that the suspects were waiting in a vehicle outside the restaurant when the rapper arrived in his Bentley.

In the criminal complaint filed Thursday, Sept. 29, prosecutors say a “man in a red shirt” was outside the restaurant when he saw PnB Rock walk inside. The unidentified man noticed that PnB Rock was wearing expensive jewelry.

Prosecutors said the man lurked outside Roscoe’s until Freddie Lee Trone arrived driving a black Buick Enclave. Trone parked, walked up to the man in red, and spoke with him near the entrance to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles. He then returned to his car and drove off while PnB Rock was still inside the restaurant.

Meanwhile, Trone’s 17-year-old son “armed himself with a handgun” and put on a mask, prosecutors say.

Police documents say that Freddie Lee Trone dropped the teen off near the strip mall where Roscoe’s is located. The teenager approached Roscoe’s, passed the man in red, and went inside. As he entered the restaurant, the man in red left the area.

The teen then approached the table where PnB Rock was eating with his girlfriend, Stephanie, and pointed the gun at him. According to prosecutors, the teen said, “Give me all of your jewelry, now!” He then shot PnB Rock in the chest while the rapper remained seated at the table. As PnB Rock fell to the floor, the teen allegedly shot him twice more in the back, prosecutors said.

He then turned to Stephanie and yelled, “Show me your hands! Give me that shit right now! I swear to God! I shoot you in the head!” He snatched her watch and then grabbed PnB Rock’s jewelry.

Freddie Lee Trone drove into the parking lot outside Roscoe’s as his son rushed outside and hopped into the car. They fled the restaurant, and parked the car several blocks from their residence, prosecutors alleged.

They later burned the car to get rid of evidence.

Police say father and son are members of the 87 Gangster Crips. Source’s say that Rock may have been robbed and killed because he did not “check in” with gang members who control the territory around the restaurant.

May the senseless killings stop.

Rest in power PnB Rock.

On this date in 1991, legendary Hip Hop collective Public Enemy dropped their fourth full-length album entitled Apocalypse ’91…The Enemy Strikes Back on the Def Jam/Columbia imprint.

Drawn from the fictional movies Apocalypse Now and Star Wars sequel The Empire Strikes Back, the Bomb Squad produced project was a rush job according to Hank Shocklee, having to re-create the production after the discs from the past five years with album contents were stolen. “Once you lose all your data, it’s very difficult to get that data back…you may get some of it back, but you’ll never get the complete set. You won’t even know what the complete set is, because there’s data in there you didn’t really know you had,” Shocklee said of the missing project. 

The certified platinum album offered up a couple of timeless singles including “Shut Em Down”, “Can’t Truss It” and “By The Time I Get To Arizona”, where in the video the depicted killing of Arizona Governor Evan Mecham was seen in response for not recognizing MLK Jr. Day as a national holiday.

Salute to the entire P.E. for this timeless 14 track piece of Hip Hop history!

Quavo Raps If It Weren’t For Him, “It Probably Wouldn’t Be QC”

Unc & Phew are lighting up Hip Hop with another viral moment and they pave the way for their joint album’s arrival. There has been a dust-up among the Migos as legal and personal troubles seem to be plaguing the trio. In recent months, there has been an increase in visibility with Quavo and Takeoff, but Offset has been noticeably absent.

When Quavo and Takeoff began releasing music without their third, there were rumors about a breakup or some animosity. Then, on the heels of Offset releasing his single, it was shared that he was taking Quality Control Music to court over his solo career.

This had fans talking and, of course, many believed that the bars were related to what has been unraveling behind the scenes. Take a listen and let us know what you think below.

Jaboukie Young-White Shares His Raunchy Debut Rap Single, ‘BBC’

by

Comedian and actor Jaboukie Young-White is dabbling in the realm of music. And no, not just as producer Francois Boom from HBO Max’s hit series, Rap Sh!t. Today, he has released his debut single, “BBC.”

In this case, “BBC” may not stand for what you think it stands for. On the track, Jaboukie raps about his “bad b*tch coochie.”

“Tossin’ my salad like he toss a brewski / Got your man, ‘Oh my God, oh my God, J use me’ / D*ck game put him in a pew seat / Bad b*tch coochie,” he raps.

Jaboukie cut the groovy, dance-ready track in his apartment with the help of his brother.

“Bad b*tch coochie is a state of mind,” said Jaboukie in a statement. “I had a four on the floor kick, then my brother, Javeigh, laid a filthy, thumping bassline. I wanted the lyrics to reflect that cheeky and sleazy energy. I want this song to be a song you can’t help but dance to.”

In the song’s accompanying video, which also marks Jaboukie’s directorial debut, is seen strolling about town wearing a green suit, and also wearing a fuzzy sweater, thrusting and humping the air. The screen distorts throughout, creating a trippy, hypnotic effect.

Check out “BBC” above.
