NEW YORK (AP) — A popular hip-hop disc jockey died Saturday after being shot at least 13 times earlier this month, police said.

Carl Blaze, born Carlos Rivera, was shot outside an apartment building near Manhattan's Inwood section on Dec. 7, and his $20,000 diamond chain was stolen, police said. He was taken to Harlem Hospital Center, where he died Saturday.

Blaze, 30, was a DJ for hip-hop and R&B radio station Power 105.1 FM for about three years. He had gained a large fan base by spinning records at clubs and on the air on Friday and Saturday nights.

Power 105.1 FM was holding a tribute for Blaze on Saturday night. The station is owned by Clear Channel Communications.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time," said Josefa Paganuzzi, a Clear Channel spokeswoman.

Police said the investigation into the shooting was ongoing.

Before I clicked on the thread I thought he must have worked at a classical music station, but I was shocked to see this would happen at a rap station.

In many parts of Manhattan I wouldn't wear a $100 watch in public let alone a $20,000 piece of jewelry.

They don't "boo" you in New Orleans...they say it with lead (the universal language of the Big Easy).

"Never Gonna Get It" (Akon)

I'm from the hardknock academy
Automatically had to be
carryin automatics sprayin sporadic inaccuarate
Clips to the back of it

Learn to move packages in an out of Los Angeles
We savages, bustin off rounds
sprayin banana clips
knockin pills off like Anna Nicole Smith...

See I know you'll like my swagger
No strap when i come through
Chain hangin like Ali Baba
Know me, yah Know how I Do...
