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.
Some said it was fitting that even in death rapper Doe B
drew a full house, as people packed the church and overflowed into areas
outside for his funeral Saturday afternoon. A large crowd of mourners
also attended the Saturday morning funeral of Kimberle Johnson,
an innocent bystander killed during the same shooting, Funeral services
for Johnson, 21, and Glenn Lamar Thomas, 22, known as rapper Doe B,
were both held at True Divine Baptist Church on Troy Highway. The two
services lasted about four hours and had statements from family, friends
and in the case of Thomas, an appearance from rapper T.I., who signed
Thomas to his Grand Hustle Records label in 2012. (Montgomery Advertiser)

died Friday night. Hamilton had been in critical condition in a
Montgomery hospital since being shot Saturday. Two others were killed
