Nov. 11, 2020, was the most devastating day in Dallas hip-hop history. Mo3 was murdered in broad daylight on I-35 in an ambush-style chase. Kewon White, the hitman, shot at him and chased him down before fleeing the scene. Prosecutors showed a video of the incident during a court hearing for Yella Beezy earlier this year, who is accused of hiring White in an alleged murder-for-hire plot. Mo3 was 28 years old.
The loss of Mo3 came after emerging Chicago rapper King Von was shot and killed in Atlanta on Nov. 6, 2020. Three days later, Boosie Badazz was shot in the leg near Big T Plaza in Dallas, as he was in town to attend a vigil for Mo3. Griselda rapper Benny the Butcher, who was in Houston at the time, was also shot in the leg after an attempted robbery at a Walmart on the same day. The string of gun violence put a dark cloud over hip-hop, as two promising rappers on the rise were killed in succession, injuring a Southern rap legend and hospitalizing Buffalo’s sharpest storyteller.
