The kid takes a look at rappers/hiphop artists that have passed away:E Money Bags

E Money Bags Mixtape Cover


For those people that do not know, E Money Bags was a rapper from Queens NY that was murdered in 2001. E Money made a number of appearances on mix tapes and albums from fellow Queens natives from 99-2001.Unfortunately E Money never released a major full length album. I have to admit, the kid had talent on the mic and would have sounded even better with production from Premo (Dj Premier) or Alchemist. E Money Bags career was cut short in July of 2001. E Money was sitting in his Lincoln Navigator on a street in Queens New York, he was approached by two assailants and was shot multiple times. It is to be assumed that E Money saw his killers approaching, according to reports E Money reached for a 380. caliber auto handgun and died with his hand in a reaching position for the handgun. From what I have read, E Money supposedly shot one of Preme's right hand men. The man that was shot was Colbert "Black Just" Johnson, he was shot over an alleged dispute over some coca. So E Money was murdered out of revenge for what he did. If you want to read some articles that are related to E Money and his murder check out the following links.
