Rappers Who Passed Away In 2020
Dec 29 2020
While rap is and always will be woven into the fabric of America, some of the music genre's biggest stars have tragically been taken from us too soon, leaving behind legacies, and music that will never be forgotten by their legions of fans. These are the rappers we lost in 2020.

Brooklyn rapper Nick Blixky, real name Nickalus Thompson, was shot and killed outside a building near Prospect Park on May 10th. He was 21. According to a NBC News report, Blixky was shot in the buttocks and torso and was found unconscious by emergency workers. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. A parolee named Caliph Glean was later named in court documents as the lead suspect in Thompson's death, but he was charged with illegally possessing ammunition — not murder.

The rising hip hop star had a single titled "Drive The Boat" with more than 2 million views on YouTube. Hours before his death, Blixky announced on Instagram that his first mixtape, "Different Timin" was set to be released next month.
