March 7, 2016 - ATLANTA GA - March 4, 2016 is a day that will forever be embedded in Hip-Hop history representing the date another icon fell victim to gun violence. Late on the night of March 4, ‘Hot Boy’ rapper Bankroll Fresh was killed outside of Street Execs studio in Atlanta.

Bankroll Fresh helped to introduce a new generation of Hip-Hop fans to the ‘Hot Boys,’ a superstar hip-hop group from the late 90’s, early 00’s that featured Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G., & Turk. His 2015 single ‘Hot Boy’ paid homage to the New Orleans legends, which led to Lil Wayne, Juvenile and Turk adding verses for the ‘Hot Boy Remix.’

Six hours before Bankroll Fresh’s death, his final tweet was to Turk. Click to read his final tweet.
