October 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich Homie Quan died from an overdose after taking several drugs, including fentanyl, according to a new report from TMZ. The Fulton County Medical Examiner in Georgia is reportedly ruling his death an accident after fentanyl, alprazolam, codeine, and promethazine were all found in his system. Additionally, there were no signs of trauma on his body when police discovered it.

The iconic Atlanta rapper died back on September 5th at the age of 34. Lamar’s girlfriend, Amber Williams, says she saw Quan asleep on the couch on the morning of his death before taking her son to school. When she returned home, she checked on him and noticed his body was cold, at which point she dialed 911. “While on scene, I did not observe any foul play. Mr. Lamar did not appear to be alert, conscious, or breathing,” the responding officer wrote in his report, as caught by Fox 5 Atlanta. “Ms. Williams advised me that Mr. Lamar did not have any medical or underlying diseases.”

Crazy Town Bandmate Shifty Shellshock’s Official Cause Of Death Revealed

September 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to a recent update from Billboard, we now have the cause of death of Shifty Shellshock. Seth Brooks Binzer was the lead singer for the rap-rock band, Crazy Town. They were founded here in the States in the late mid to late 90s. Shellshock suddenly passed on June 24 in his home near Los Angeles. At age 49, he was found unresponsive, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office. Overall, they are listing his death as an “accidental overdose” of a deadly combination of drugs. Fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine are the culprits.

Sadly, substance abuse did loom over Shellshock for many years, and it’s something that the group’s manager knew of. Gut-wrenchingly, Howie Hubberman takes partial blame for his talent’s loss. “Seth Binzer, after struggling with addiction and Crazy Town’s rapid success with ‘Butterfly’, never was able to reach out on a more successful level to deal with his addictions. We all tried, but ultimately, we all failed, or Shifty would still be here”.

If you aren’t familiar with Crazy Town, “Butterfly” is their most popular track, and it topped the charts for two weeks. They have a few other notable ones such as “Toxic” and “Darkside”. However, after releasing their second project, darkhorse, in 2002, Crazy Town really started to fall apart. Their third and presumable final album, The Brimstone Sluggers, released in 2015 in one of the few attempts to get the band back together since its first split. Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the loved ones of Seth Binzer during this time.

Craig Mack’s Cause Of Death Revealed As HIV/AIDS-Related Complications

August 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Six years ago, premiere Bad Boy Records artist Craig Mack died from an unknown, acute illness that was first believed to be heart-related. A recent article from Rolling Stone has unveiled that Mack’s death certificate now reads that the “Flava In Ya Ear” rapper died from HIV/AIDS-related illness.

Published on Friday(August 18), the Rolling Stone article contained an interview with his first wife, Roxanne Alexis Hill-Johnson, his daughter Amanda Mack, and his younger brother Andrew Mack, who all opened up about the “Flava In Ya Ear” rapper’s life from his peak at Bad Boy Records to his final days on his deathbed.

“I’ve truly, honestly never seen a human being in that condition before,” Andrew Mack said. “He was catatonic.”

“I believe he was very much in denial, but that’s him living his truth to the end,” he continued. “I know that sounds really crazy, but you have to know him to understand that. As much as that bothers me, I understand why he did what he did. He lived his truth.”

His widow and brother contend that the New York native learned of his diagnosis before he left his hometown in 2007. mack moved to South Carolina, where he joined the Overcomer Ministry. By 2014, Mack had already shown signs of failing health after he lost au unmistakable amount of weight and was frequently sick. Mack originally told people he had congestive heart failure and was hospitalized, but he didn’t seek out any further medical treatment.

By 2018, Mack walked with a cane until he was unable to walk on his own. His family drove from Vermont to spend a few days with Mack in his final hours.

Mack’s family still has a lot of questions about his life and Hill-Johnson hopes to answer some of them in a documentary she’s developing with Alvin Toney, who recorded Mack’s final interview before his death.

BeatKing’s Cause Of Death Revealed

August 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

BeatKing tragically passed away on Thursday (August 15) in a Houston hospital, and thanks to one of his representatives, we have more of an idea of what happened. According to TMZ, one of his reps said that he suffered a pulmonary embolism, or the blockage of a lung artery. The Houston rapper and producer was hosting a takeover on Urban One/Radio One, passed out, and then received care at a nearby hospital after folks rushed him there. Per the representative, he passed away later that day with his two daughters by his side. “It is truly sad, we loved him so much,” the rep added.

This individual paid further tribute to the memory and legacy of BeatKing. She said on Thursday night that her client was “”the best part of the club for over a decade. He has produced and worked with so many artists, that his sound will forever live. He loved his daughters @clubgodparenting, his music and his fans. We will [love] him forever.” The “Pop Music” artist received an outpouring of love, remembrance, honors, and well-wishes following his death, connected by the art he was so proud of making.

BeatKing also recently hung out with Drake, who actually faced some recent backlash from Sauce Walka for allegedly not showing Houston artists enough love despite living in Texas now. Walka’s issues are that the 6ix God collaborates with Houston artists that are on a similar level to him (think Travis Scott, Beyoncé, Pimp C, etc.), but not the smaller artists that he could actually support and put on. Of course, his proximity to the likes of BeatKing is one of plenty of examples that could disprove this. But it’s also too complicated and broad of a question for one casual instance or hypothetical collaboration to explain.

Meanwhile, folks like Bun B and Boi-1da completely disagree with Sauce Walka’s claims about Drake. They, along with the rest of hip-hop, have more pressing Houston matters to get to now. The city and beyond will remember BeatKing for his passion, energy, and commitment to the scene. As we continue to honor his memory throughout 2024 and into the rest of hip-hop history, we wish his loved ones the best on their journey.
Rest In Peace BeatKing.
