Philadelphia rapper PnB Rock was fatally shot at a Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles on Tuesday during a robbery. The hip-hop world paid tribute.

“As influential as we’ve been as a city, the number of rappers from here who have made it to the mainstream, you can run down the list and it isn’t that long,” Morrison said of Rock’s post-stardom impact within Philadelphia. To see young people here resonate with that emotionally, and then see that guy making that kind of music pop off and get bigger, is a special thing.” [wrote](https://www.instagram.com/p/CibdZJmrsx8/) 03 Greedo, who lost his friend and collaborator [Drakeo the Ruler](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2021-12-20/drakeo-the-ruler-death-festival) last year. rap](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-03greedo-20180617-story.html) In 2017, he was named to XXL magazine‘s prestigious Freshman Class (alongside, among others, Playboi Carti, A Boogie With Da Hoodie and XXXTentacion). For a stretch of time in the mid-2010s, the voice of PnB Rock was inescapable on hip-hop radio. Rock’s mother soon moved the family to a suburb in northeast Philadelphia in an attempt to keep her children on the straight-and-narrow, but soon enough, Rock was sent to a youth detention center after robbing a kid in the neighborhood. Even early in his career, Rock wanted to bring a tougher, street edge to his singing, preceding the current wave of R&B artists such as Brent Faiyaz and 6lack who are heavily influenced by rap. Through haunting keys and an infectious chorus that blurred the line between singing and rapping, he established the formula for his future hits. “Younger heads in Philly were playing his music everywhere,” Morrison said. “Folks in my age group, folks younger than me, across the board.” Fans were drawn to his style of melodic rapping, shining on choruses that burrowed into ears.
