The shooting occurred around 4:15 PM on Saturday outside Perignons Restaurant & Event Center after Jook attended a funeral service. Authorities rushed him to the hospital alongside a second victim, where he died. The second victim arrived in critical condition but has since stabilized. Police said afterward they believe Jook was the target of the attack. “We do feel that the individual that was shot was possibly targeted by the suspect,” Memphis Deputy Police Chief Paul Wright said. Rumors circulated on social media after that Gotti’s mother was in the car prior to the attack, although it had yet to be confirmed.

350Heem Shot & Killed At His Album Release Party In Florida

August 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Up-and-coming Florida rapper 350Heem has become the most recent young rap artist to pass away far too soon. According to HipHopDX, the Lakeland, Florida artist has died at just 25 years old. He was reportedly shot and killed outside his own mixtape release party early Saturday morning. The shooting reportedly happened outside Jade Fox Lounge and also resulted in a 48-year-old woman being shot and left in critical condition. In a message to Florida local news, the rapper’s family gave a statement. “It’s a grief I’ve never felt before. You never want to bury your 25-year-old nephew.”

350heem was celebrating the release of his new mixtape Taking Chances 3. The series of Taking Chances mixtapes date all the way back to 2017 and is following the second entry from 2019. The album features heem’s viral hit “Caught Up” as well as a feature from Florida affiliate 350Quan. It’s the rapper’s second new album of 2023 following The Poet, a nine track project he dropped back in February. He also released the 4-track Lost Files EP a month later in March.

350heem Tragically Slain

While a 23-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the shooting, it is still an active and ongoing investigation. The tragedy comes just as the hip-hop world gathered together in Philadelphia over the weekend to honor a different victim of gun violence. Gillie Da Kid’s eldest son was tragically killed in a shooting last week. Over the weekend they threw an impromptu music festival called Gillie Fest to pay tribute to Gillie’s son. Rappers like Meek Mill and Freeway were in attendance for the festival. They were also joined by Sauce Walka and G Herbo for a surprise cypher taped backstage at the festival.

350heem began blowing up on TikTok in late 2020 and early 2021. His song “Talk Dat Talk” became a viral hit on the platform and drew plenty of attention along the way. He was reportedly signed to Motown Records later in 2021, but the deal appears to have fallen through at some point. He scored yet another viral hit later that year with his track “Water.” RIP

Casino Jizzle Shot & Killed; Hip-Hop Artist Dead At 27

July 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When it comes to the Tennessee rap game, there was one new up-and-comer that was primed to make waves. Sadly, the artist known as Casino Jizzle will never get his chance to make it big. The hip-hop singer, born Robert Tunstall, was shot and killed in northeast Memphis on the Fourth of July. Casino Jizzle was pronounced dead at the scene and was 27 years old. His manager confirmed this on Tuesday. This occurred just days before Jizzle’s July 7th album drop. DUH is his debut album, and he was getting ready to become a big deal in hip-hop.

Casino Jizzle had the numbers to gain some serious traction. With 10 million Apple Music streams and 46 million YouTube views, the man was ready to make a splash in the rap game. Unfortunately, he passed away at the same deadly age as other famous musical artists. (Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, and Amy Winehouse are a few members of the “27 Club.”)

The Aftermath of Casino Jizzle’s Shooting

The mother of Casino Jizzle’s child, Brianna Hollins, took to Facebook to showcase her grief. “I’m LOSTED WITHOUT U SWEAR TO GOD,” she writes, clearly devastated to lose a man she loved way too soon. She shared pictures of them hanging out in Nevada on what looks like a vacation from 2022. Jizzle had dealt with gun violence in the past. Back in 2019, he was in critical condition following a shooting in front of a Tennessee Chuck E. Cheese.

As for who pulled the trigger in this fatal incident, Memphis police are not yet sure of an official identity. However, there is a warrant out for 27-year-old Michael Clayton for murder in the first degree (according to WREG, the local CBS affiliate). Casino Jizzle’s most popular song on Spotify, “Message,” has almost 330k listens. So far as we know, his debut album DUH is still releasing tomorrow, albeit to somber circumstances. The HotNewHipHop family offers condolences to the family and friends left behind. Rest In Peace, Casino Jizzle.

According to several reports, Young Chop’s brother, Johnny May Cash, was killed over the weekend after being shot in the thigh and later dying from his injuries. He was 27 years old.
