Who was Young Scooter, the Atlanta rapper who died on his birthday?
The rapper Young Scooter, who worked with artists died on Friday (March 28) on the day of his thirty -ninth birthday.
The causes of death are still to be clarified, but, as Billboard.com reports, there would have been a call to the police following a dispute in an apartment with a firearm. The police created a perimeter outside the house, two men fled from the back and one jumped two fences as she fled. Young Scooter was the man who had skipped the fence and, according to what was reported by the police he was already injured in one leg, while rumors circulate according to which the police would have injured him.
The rapper was then brought to the Grady Marcus Trauma Center where he died.
Young Scooter had his first great opportunity in Rap Game in 2012 when he signed with the Future record label, Freebandz. In 2013, he collaborated with Gucci Mane in the “Free Bricks 2” mixtape, and published another mixtape the same year with the collaborations of Gucci, Future, Wg and Lil Boosie.
He also collaborated with Future and Juice Wrld in the 2018 song, “Jet Lag”.
In 2013, Eric Diep of XXL called “one of the most popular road rappers in Atlanta” and wrote that traces such as the single “Colombia” and “Street Lottery” (with Bun B) are “the proof of its undeniable talent”.
The song “Colombia” has become a success in the South, especially in the hometown of Scooter, Atlanta. Spin’s Brandon Soderberg ranked her as a mix of Rick Ross and “Tony Montana” “Hustlin ‘”. It was so a hit that a remix was then released with the collaboration of Rick Ross, Birdman and Gucci Mane. Also Lil Wayne reinterpreted the song in his mixtape dedicated 5.
Several artists have published thoughts on social media following the death of Scooter.
Playboi Carti shared the news in his Instagram Stories with the “SMFH” caption. Quavo has published on X an EMOJI with a broken heart and his hands in prayer, writing “Ion Undersand”, together with a video of scooters who performs.
