Baltimore rapper Nick Breed — whose lyrics often reflected the pain and trauma he’d seen in the city — was fatally shot Sunday in the Allendale neighborhood.
The rapper, whose real name is Dominic Grant, according to friends and family, was found with gunshot wounds in the 500 block of Normandy Ave. around 7:30 p.m. Sunday, police said. The 24-year-old was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center and was pronounced dead soon after arriving, officials said.
Grant, whose music videos garnered thousands of views online, collaborated with some of the city’s biggest names, including YBS Skola and Young Moose. On his Instagram, he posted photos with Chino, the well-known dirt-bike rider, and YoungBoy Never Broke Again, the Louisiana rapper who headlined MECU Pavilion last month.
He is one of Baltimore’s latest fatalities in a recent surge of gun violence. In the past 30 days, the city has seen more than 40 homicides.
Grant’s sister Ebony Palmer was struggling to grasp her brother’s death, she said through tears Tuesday.
“He took a big piece of my heart,” Palmer said. “I’m so heartbroken.”

It’s ASPIRING rapper...
Expired rapper.
I LoLed and Rolfed @ that.
Yup. Rappers and getting shot is like bread and butter. It’s what they do. Hopefully, someone will give the treatment to the rapper they call “TI” (who I never even heard of before he made a nasty video about Melania Trump).
He joins a long list of equally dead (c)rappers. May their ranks swell.
You win the thread!
His street cred just went up. There’s that.
Just another thug. He’s not a “poet” and the “pain and suffering” he dealt with in the city was not a necessity. He lives in America where his options are endless.
You mean A-spired.
I really think Trump could make some headway here decrying the street violence and that black communities deserve better and how illegal immigration hurts growth opportunities for REAL up and comers to make their lives better) and demanding the local GOP take action in some way.
It’s what the DNC would say if they hadn’t sold out the African Americans.
He is one of Baltimore’s latest fatalities in a recent surge of gun violence. In the past 30 days, the city has seen more than 40 homicides.
...
Obama’s war on the police has worked really well there.
Oolong the pancake Bunny.
By now, newsrooms must have a boilerplate template article they use. Just insert the name of the rapper and offense, and the article is ready for publication.
Will they be burning Baltimore again? Rioting? Looting?
Let me guess: “he was ‘turning his life around.’”
You listen to Howie Carr; I can tell :o)
40 in 30 days ! I wonder what the record is ?
