As you know by now, we lost one of Queens' finest over the weekend. Chinx, real name Lionel Pickens, was murdered in a drive-by shooting at 4 am on Sunday morning. He was 31. The news put the hip hop world into shock, with rappers across the country mourning for the gone-too-soon Coke Boy on social media, and some of his closest friends dropping tribute tracks in his memory. Today, we're looking back on his all too brief legacy with a Soundcloud playlist curated in his honor.
Picking ten songs that showcase Chinx's talent, versatility and wide array of friends in the rap game, we hope to highlight some of the best moments of his career. Take a listen below and let us know your all-time favorite Chinx cuts in the comments.
