In the United States, rapper is a high-risk profession. In November alone, there were reports of rappers dying at gunpoint.
Today, we will take stock of the rapper who died at gunpoint this year, and perhaps some of the names you have heard for the first time.
Dallas rapper Mo3 was shot dead on Nov. 12 at the age of 28. According to the report, Mo3 and the gunman were driving on the Dallas Highway, when the gunman left the car and approached on foot, Mo3 abandoned the car and fled, the gunman fired several shots at the back of Mo3's head, and he was taken to the hospital to rescue him and died.
On November 6, King Von, a new generation of American rap talent, clashed with gangs outside a nightclub in Atlanta and staged a gun battle, while King Von was seriously injured and taken to the hospital and died. Police also rushed to the scene to stop the shootout, but it was too late, and the clash resulted in five people being shot, three wounded and two dead.
The following is a video of the incident, and the man in white is King Von.
King Von, also known as Dayvon Bennett, was born in O'Block, Chicago's famous gangster neighborhood, and he just released the album Welcome To O'Block just before his death, which is a record of his gangster career and making his rap career bigger in an extremely harsh and dark environment.
King Von is recognized as a talented person in the European and American rap circles, with two million fans on Instagram and a surge of nearly 30W after the accident, which is a veritable super new generation.
But at the same time, King Von's background is not simple, he has already carried one murder charge and two attempted murder charges, and his grandfather is the founder of the Chicago gangster Black Disciples.
This news sensationalized the American hip-hop circle, and NBA superstar James 21savage Polo G, Lil Baby, posted a tribute.
On September 23, rapper Tay Way, at the age of 29, was shot just 29 minutes after social media posted exposing his location.
Tay Way posted a photo on IG revealing where he was, and just a few minutes later, a car stopped in front of him and fired at him.

Pop Smoke was having a party at his Hollywood-rented home on Feb. 19 when several masked men illegally entered the house and Pop Smoke was shot several times before being pronounced dead after being taken to a local hospital.
The main reason for his shooting, the police also revealed that it may be related to the gang. Before the accident, Pop Smoke revealed his party address on social media and posted a large amount of cash. I think this may have led to Pop Smoke being approached by gangsters.
In July, police arrested several suspects who shot Pop Smoke, the oldest of whom was 19 and the youngest was only 15.
You may not be familiar with Pop Smoke, but when it comes to the Drir music scene in Brooklyn, Pop Smoke is an artist you can't ignore.
The first is that the single "Welcome To The Party" became popular last year and even brought in Skepta and Nicki Minaj to do the Remix version.
Signed and co-released by Travis Scott at the end of the year, and the recent release of meet The Voo 2, Pop Smoke is undoubtedly a rising star and may even become the next "King of New York".
The demise of Pop Smoke will not only be a loss for Drill Music, but also for the entire Hiphop culture.
Also not long ago, just three days after MO3 was killed, Boosie Badazz was shot in the leg outside a shopping mall in Dallas. He has undergone several surgeries, removed bullet fragments, and has been discharged home to recuperate.
Compared to the rapper mentioned above, Boosie Badazz is undoubtedly lucky, and he has passed the grim reaper.
