Houdini and the City of Fallen Rappers

you become a target not just your target you rap about these people your house is 10 times bigger all day that will make me not like it when you really think about it yeah most artists get killed in their Hometown, hmm, but why? Do you think it's Adrienne? People look at you saying I wish it was me, well I sent a lot of people running for their lives here on this stretch. Now the 21-year-old has been identified as a popular Toronto rapper, okay, we need to talk about the Houdini story, right? the jealousy and hate that

rappers

are dealt with in their own hometown is terrible and that is a given in every state in america but it is one of the most violent cities right now for up and coming

rappers

to hang out from Toronto and people don't realize this, there's a reason Toronto is becoming one of the most polled cities in North America.

It looks like Beijing. They're putting cameras everywhere. g gang warfare that's been escalating for years it's literally rabbit hunting season and that's exactly what happened to

houdini

houdini

was sitting with record labels in los angeles new york collaborating with pop smoke this guy was the real deal until a couple of weeks ago he was brutally shot to death in broad daylight in toronto's downtown entertainment district and this was surgical they used glock nines with 30 round magazines they took advantage of corona season by wearing medical masks to hide their faces there was a six-year-old boy who was caught in the crossfire dodging bullets who has a high capa

city

magazine, two 30-round magazines, and as this plays out, I want you guys to pay attention to the little boy who gets into the hallway here, everything was crazy and the

city

is in shock right now we're going to get into all of this but before we do my song for today it's not o I think Houdini himself, come on, to understand this story, we must focus on a hood. particularly in Toronto called Driftwood or Northside Jane and Finch and this is where Houdini comes from now they are by far the most influential in terms of music in the city but they are also a notorious cradle faction right?

They fight with almost everyone. in the town south of them south side jane and finch blood punch and those are their direct rivals the lower income neighborhood in town called the regent also has tension with driftwood stemming from rap fights and rap murders and another area called rexdale have been rivals of driftwood for almost a decade so they feud with everyone now in 2015 driftwood kids instilled chiraq music vibe in northern canada they were insulting rivals in their tracks and talking about the things they were doing in the streets in their lyrics to insult me ​​so you know we put triggers for them murderers we kidnapped and drugged that song is robbing banks with presser presses one of the few that actually crosses joined the scene mainstream American and he actually lives in Cali right now in a nice mansion his rap career blew up for him but before all that he was involved in a case in which he allegedly kidnapped two drug dealers by moving them from one place to another. holding them for ransom until he finally forced them to give blowjobs in front of everyone, two guys who are crazy, now Presser was later cleared of those charges and granted court permission to go on tour with Drake in England and another rapper he received six years in press the place for the position now press his partner Robin Banks who was on that track I just showed he was pretty much the pioneer of the scene just right he had the torch in early 2015 and started this organic label of hood, driftwood, where it was. putting all the rappers in his area robbing banks started getting millions of views caught the eye of Meek Mill who really rocked with the Meek Mill movement and Robbin Banks w Before sending paperwork back and forth he was about to from signing a deal with the dream catchers and to celebrate it he was throwing a party in a hookah lounge called cameo where unfortunately his ops got wind of it, infiltrated the party and shot him nine times leaving him. in critical condition just as this man was about to cross into the US look they orchestrated that hit now thankfully bank robbery is alive but he is paralyzed from the neck down and his operations were very disrespectful posting memes of him in a wheelchair and stuff. he's still doing his thing dropping tracks and of course pushing driftwood rappers on his label but the rival chases robbing banks in such a way that it really escalated the violence in the city and became some kind of trophy so that people will attack rappers. the first high profile assassination attempt on a rapper that was about to cross over now next year the most influential artists in the country were smoked now i'm not from toronto me you don't have to be from toronto to know smoke dogg was being co- signed by Drake doing UK shows in the US and he's from a place called Regent Park. all over town, but it's not very close to driftwood and because they didn't really have too much tension back and forth until one summer night at a club in 2018, Smoke Dog got into a heated argument with a driftwood wrapper named 21 ordered and this quickly escalated right when they came out where 21 clean shot and dog smoke dead and his manager probably one of the most gruesome after death videos I've ever seen on a rapper people were filming it and the brain matter of the dogs smoke it was like a leak. the road was a wild scene now this pretty much gave Regent the green light to go after driftwood in retaliation and this created a whole bunch of new problems in the city where two neighborhoods that otherwise didn't have much tension now have maximum levels of care and driftwood didn't really care like they were welcoming all the smoke now toronto police didn't arrest rapper 21 meat for quite some time they couldn't find him there were even rumors he escaped to somalia but they finally discovered him in the west coast of the country, near Vancouver, where he was extradited to Toronto to stand trial for the murder of a smoked dog, this is when the story goes crazy because 21 meat has a brother who goes by the name of a clean 22 right in the same block driftwood boat dam robbing banks they're all friends that's why it was weird when they all found out five months ago in december 2019 22 Nev killed his own friend and fellow rapper on his label called YS they don't make my ass just got back from doing some jail time and he was on a bunch of tracks that were getting hundreds of thousands of views and likes out of nowhere, the feds found my ass and his body all the way. the west coast of th country near Vancouver and rumors began to circulate that 22 knows his own homie who pulled the trigger no one really knows why he did it but some people say it was for money which has not been confirmed from 20/20 knew there would be repercussions anyway, so he fled to a place called Calgary, Alberta, but it didn't last long.

In fact, he was found dead two days later as revenge for what he did to the homie. but these horrible things kept happening he was 30 30 the next two left town it was this rap duo made up of two driftwood brothers known as the Talib twins they had this song with five million views that was burning through the city and on also in the US before one of the twins was finally locked up so the other twin decided to keep the momentum going and kept releasing these fiery tracks under the name Talib Twins in February 2020 the Talib Twin he was at a condo party on the 32nd floor of an Airbnb rental when two of his ops infiltrated the party and began opening fire on the Taliban, who responded and managed to kill them both before he himself died on the scene. and there is a lot of speculation about what happened. means you can't make this up like some people say he tripped and shot himself but the feds think he went into another room in the condo and ended his own life like the story is crazy and the driftwood thing and the politics in the city is that they fight with so many places that sometimes it's hard to tell who's responsible for attacking them, they have a lot of enemies and then of course, at the end of May, the biggest name in a Toronto that isn't Drake or Tory Lanez or the weekend was rapper Houdini now like I said in my intro this is a kid sitting with record labels in New York and LA he was going to go places but unfortunately as is trending in In the city, Houdini was in Toronto's entertainment district late in the afternoon, and little did he know that there was a Volkswagen Tiguan lurking on the east side of a street called Blue Jays Way, which is just where he needed to go. pass.

They were waiting for a long time, more than 40 minutes. and Houdini was with a 15-year-old boy at the time and they were walking down the street and once they were within range of the Volkswagen, a lone shooter got out of the vehicle and started unloading a bunch of clips in Houdini's direction. this little boy who got caught in the crossfire as well as a family like this it's all on the cctv footage it's heartbreaking they downloaded a bunch of clips on the houdini getting hit and kept running adrenaline even if you get mortally wounded . you could still run because you had adrenaline, so he was running with a bunch of bullets in his body and then he collapsed and died.

The 15-year-old boy who was with Houdini was also tied up and was trying to shoot. The muggers and then his gun jammed right he dumped in an alleyway and got away now Meek Mill Tory Lanez and a bunch of others took to social media to express their condolences as soon as this happened and you can see how much. the industry was moving on houdini like he was a kid about to make it but just look at toronto the city is in shambles right now if retaliation killings were already ordered houdini's own memorial was shot in This ridiculous video that you can see on YouTube is like this drive-by style video where out of the dark this car pulls up and starts opening fire on a crowd.

The whole crowd is tied up, so they immediately start shooting, but this is crazy. I know this happens in the United States. It's no big deal. new but im coining toronto the city and the

fallen

rappers because the recent trend of up and coming rappers now being dead is unparalleled like you cant compare but yeah man nestor for this video rest in peace. Houdini left but he didn't forget watch his music when you get the chance hey yeah man I'll see you next time
