The Notorious B.I.G., 2PAC,XXXtentacion CHINX and NIPPSEY HUSSLE were all ascendant hip-hop figures when they died.

To salute rap’s fallen soldiers, here’s a countdown of the TEN great rappers who died way too young.

Two armed men exited the SUV and approached the rapper while he was sitting in the driver’s seat. A brief struggle occurred, and the armed men reached inside Onfroy’s vehicle, stole a small Louis votton bag containing $50,000, and shot Onfroy multiple times. The shooters fled the scene in their SUV and Onfroy was transported by paramedics to the nearby Broward Health North hospital in Deerfield Beach, where he was pronounced dead
