List of murdered hip hop musicians
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of notable hip hop musicians who have been murdered.
A 2015 study concluded that murder was the cause of 51.5% of U.S. hip hop musician deaths.[1] The study noted that this figure refers primarily to premature deaths as most hip hop musicians have not yet lived long enough to fall into the highest-risk ages for heart- and liver-related illnesses.
