I had to post a link to this awesome tribute to the slain Rapper Dolla. Hip Hop Spy’s “Mr. Roderick Anthony Burton II’s final story in pictures:” gave me chills, big ups to them for a very thoughtful tribute.
I love the beautiful white celebration requested by Dolla himself. The lovely white reminds me of angels and light. As they said, I hope this sad set of events helps open some eyes about how senseless violence robs so many of us.
The last picture really got me – Dolla looks like such a little, baby angel face – no disrespect intended – the image just seems to highlight a side we might not know him – simple joy and innocence. A perfect way to end a sad post.
Some background info with a link to more details:
Up-and-coming Atlanta rapper Dolla was shot and killed in an altercation outside a shopping mall in Los Angeles on Monday, May 18th. He was 21 years old.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Dolla was gunned down while he waited at the Beverly Center’s mall valet with rappers DJ Shabbazz and Scrapp DeLeon. Dolla’s publicist said that before the shooting, a man and woman were trailing the rapper. Police have “two persons of interest” in custody; cops picked up one man at the ticketing area of the Los Angeles International Airport with a gun in his possession.
