Rapper Slim 400 Dead At 33-Years-Old After Being Gunned Down In Los Angeles
Back in 2019, rapper Slim 400 narrowly escaped death after being shot nine times while he was visiting family in Compton.
You can check out an interview he did with TMZ following the shooting below…
He was so positive after the shooting, which says something about his character. The fact that he didn’t let being shot nine times break him.
Sadly, the rising star in the West Coast hip-hop scene was involved in another LA shooting, and this time he did not survive.
The deadly shooting went down on Wednesday (December 8) in Inglewood. Law enforcement sources have confirmed the shooting, but no details were given about how many suspects there might be.
The sources also say that while there is a “raging gang war” going on, they do not believe this shooting was a targeted hit. They believe Slim was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Born Vincent Cohran to military parents on June 21, 1988 in Frankfurt, Germany, Slim moved back to the States as a young child. He was discovered and signed by the now-defunct Pu$haz Ink music label once popularized by YG (Young Gangsta) and DJ Mustard, which also collaborated with the likes of top hip-hop star Travis Scott back in 2016.
The rapper was said to be private about his personal life, but Slim 400 reportedly has a daughter named Parris, born on March 17, 2009.
Several people have jumped online to pay tribute to the late rapper, including the Twitter profile for the hip-hop blog Passion of the Weiss.
RIP Slim 400. A Compton gangsta rap prototype, an ambassador for a tradition, lineage, and history — who made a whole lot of hard-as-hell rap songs full of sober gravity and blunt force. pic.twitter.com/ZgI1AVPmz4
