Atlanta rapper Young Scooter is the latest entertainer to keep slain hip-hop artist Doe B's memory alive with the release of his tribute, "Letter 2 The Streets."On the track, Scooter acknowledges Doe's passing and stresses the dangers of being a performing artist.

"Rest in peace Doe B, that sh*t sad to see," Scooter raps. "I remember when he used to get the gas from street/He was born a country boy n*gga just like me, Tip blessed him with a chance but he ain't survived these streets/N*ggas hate everyday, that's the way the game go/Gotta keep some shooters with me when I rock these shows/You ain't safe in these clubs, you know money, it talks/And for the right price your partner'll knock you off." ("Letter 2 The Streets")
Over the weekend, Grand Hustle head T.I. joined friends and family alike to remember Doe B at a funeral service in Montgomery, Alabama.
