Few new details have surfaced since confirmation of Quality Control rapper Lil Marlo’s murder along Atlanta’s Interstate 285 on Sunday (July 12) but the love for 1st & 3rd creator has been emotionally strong.
Tributes from virtually all his peers flooded social media and each one was more heartbreaking than the next.
Quality Control CEOs Kevin “Coach K” Lee and Pierre “Pee” Thomas lamented over watching their protégé grow and the pain of seeing the ascension being cut short. Lil Yachty revealed the two had just recorded a track hours before his murder and a recently freed Ralo put the pause on his comeback campaign to give a heartfelt eulogy to his “little bro.”

once again r.i.p………………………………………..
Dear Quality Control…Stop Putting Out Wack Ass Artist on your label and actually have Quality Control over the artist you sign and just maybe your artist won’t keep getting knocked off. Sign……The Ears of Perfectly Sane American People.
R.I.P Marlo. This is just heartbreaking news. We need to have a rights movement against gang culture and gun crime which often takes the form of Black on Black crime. Our communities must be rid of these criminals. Since the beginning of the year, there have been 4 other rappers killed under similar circumstances, not to mention a few near misses. Whoever’s murdering our young black males must face the music. My appeal to my fellow black brothers is this, whoever you are, wherever you are and whatever you are going through, just remember you are precious and rare like Black Diamonds because there’s not enough of you around yet you are society needs you. Please be kind to one another. Let’s come up with a new street code. One that doesn’t involve killing. The times call for it.
Hey man well said, stop glorifying gang and prison culture that is keep us down. I’m all for guns because your oppressor has guns but we have to get rid of those that are committing genocide on our own people. We get made at the KKK or white police but silent of this everyday genocide.
Damn…. That’s a lot of Wack Niggaz on one label…But.. Regardless…R.I.P Marlo
