As someone who follows hip-hop, this is devastating. T-Hood was bringing fresh sounds to Southern rap. Hope the police find the culprit soon. The music industry lost a real one today.

While the news is sad, I wish media wouldn't glorify rappers involved in violent lifestyles. Maybe if we stopped celebrating this culture, fewer young artists would meet tragic ends.

His song "Ready 2 Go" was my gym anthem! Can't believe I'll never hear new music from him again. The industry needs to do more to protect artists from this senseless violence.

Another talented life lost to gun violence. When will America learn? Here in India we have our problems but at least this kind of shooting is rare. RIP to the artist.

His poor mother...no parent should have to bury their child. The pain in her statement is palpable. Hope she gets justice soon. Om Shanti 🙏
