BEVERLY HILLS, February 17, (THEWILL) – American rapper, Jameon Davis, better known as Ketchy of The Great of Los Angeles group, Stinc Team, has died after a car accident.
News of the death of the rapper was announced by his representatives through Pitchfork yesterday.
The late rapper was popular for being in the underground rap group Stinc Team, fronted by Drakeo The Ruler.
Drakeo took to his Twitter handle to pay tribute. He wrote: “Long live Ketchy The Great”, he thereafter disclosed that his friend was hit by a car.
Music writer, Jeff Weiss, also eulogised the late rapper: He wrote: “RIP Ketchy the Great, one of the brightest LA talents of the last five years: a livewire possessed with million watt voltage and a razor blade growl, who never failed to steal a track, and whose promise was first undercut by the DA plot to persecute the Stinc Team. Now, he’s tragically gone. Ketchup was a kind and loyal human being, a soldier and a legitimate original. Hilarious and vibrant and raw.
“Beyond the sheer madness of his death, it’s infuriating that he had to spend most of the last three years in a cage — because the crooked Sheriff’s and DA used gang enhancements and racist manipulation of the legal code to lock him up for spraypainting in a music video. He never complained, held it down for his friends and family, and was about to sign a deal, get paid, and really make the waves that he long deserved. His loss is unspeakable and cruel, but his memory will indelibly live on.”
