 March 31 1976 - September 21, 2016

With heavy hearts Ear 2 The Streets has to report that Atlanta Rapper Carlos Walker better known as Shawty Lo passed away early Wednesday morning in a single car accident on I 285 in Atlanta. Fulton County police say the crash happened around 2:20 a.m. when the 2016 Audi that Shawty Lo was driving crashed over a guardrail, hit several trees and caught fire at the Cascade Road exit.The police department says the 40 year-old was ejected and died at the

scene. Two women were also in the car and were injured and taken to a hospital with non life-threatening injuries. After initial reports of the crash were reported  it was thought to have been a hit-and-run, but Fulton police spokeswoman Cpl. Maureen Smith said,“It has been confirmed now that it was a single car accident.” His manager confirmed the news on Shawty Lo's Twitter account putting out a statement. ( Below with others reactions) From Ms. Street Cred directly I am sending out my condolences to his family and friends. I can only imagine what they all are going through.May his soul rest in peace. I definitely will miss the music that this man made and I hate that the rap community taking yet another L. He will truly be missed. Check out some of his most iconic visuals below.  His camp did release his final visuals last night and I will do a separate entry on "Put Some Respek On It" in the very near future.

Jose Guapo| Changes(2Pac Remake) Video Bomb w/o Rate

     Given that we are all more familiar with Jose Guapo "Running it Up" I was surprised with his remake of Tupac's classic song "Changes", Given the current police brutality epidemic that is plaguing our country currently, I thought it was smart and necessary of him to put this track out. He started it out verbatim to Tupac's version and then put his own spin on it. I applaud when rappers use their platforms to inform the people not to just talk about the cliche' money, cars, clothes, and hoes. He brought back something refreshing for the new generation that may not be familiar with Pac's version even though I find it hard to believe people aren't aware of the original origin. Check out Jose Guapo's visuals for "Changes' Below.
