At least one rapper was killed due to shooting every year as the hip-hop community, which often glorifies violence through music, has been closely associated with images of gun crime.

AceShowbiz - A young music star sadly lost his life right when he seemed to have a promising career. New York rapper TDott Woo, born Tahjay Dobson, was shot dead in Brooklyn shortly after signing his first record deal. He was only 22 years old.
TDott was fatally shot in the neighborhood where he grew up on February 1. The rising rapper, who was friends with late rapper Pop Smoke, who was also shot dead was struck in the head and left knee in a drive-by shooting on Avenue L near East 98th Street in Canarsie at about 2:20 P.M., according to the authorities.
Just hours before the shooting, indie label Million Dollar Music announced via Instagram that the label had welcomed TDott. In the since-deleted post, the label introduced the up-and-coming rapper as the "official artist of MDM."
