I’m not familiar with Lansdowne, but on the bright side the 13 year old has already completed on of the basic requirements for a hip hop/rap artist - killed someone. Now if he’s convicted and set to jail he will have completed a second basic requirement. R. Kelly - look out.
The key word being “Philadelphia”. I don’t know it, either, but I’m betting it’s an outskirt former town being sucked up by the city.
Most hip hop MCs are all bluster.
I'm not sure that there is even a single hip hop MC with releases on the market that has taken a life.
The criminal records of most hip hop MCs include drug possession, DUIs, possession of unlicensed firearms, auto theft and perhaps an assault.
Lansdowne used to be a decent lower middle class town in the first ring of suburbs outside of Philly, but in the 90s, section 8 housing started taking over and now the town is full of welfare bums, junkies and immigrants (legal and illegal) working 2 and 3 jobs.
IOW it’s a low class slum at this time.
