Quality Control Music rapper Marlo has been shot and killed in Atlanta according to numerous reports and reactions.
According to the TMZ, the 30-year-old was shot and killed while driving on a Georgia’s Interstate 285 towards the city’s downtown area.
On Sunday (July 12), Atlanta residents began to post videos onto social media, with one in particular showing off Marlo presumed vehicle, wrecked and shot up in the emergency lane.
Police pronounced him dead on the scene with no indication as to how the shooting took place.
The Atlanta rapper, born Rudolph Johnson into Atlanta’s Westside Bowen Homes projects, signed to the burgeoning label in 2017 and had a prolific career in a relatively short time. His discography includes the mixtapes 1st n 3rd, The Real 1 and 9th Ward God 2 and contributions to the Quality Control: Control The Streets label compilations. Most notably, he shined on 2 The Hard Way, his 2017 collaborative mixtape with labelmate Lil Baby.
At the time of his signing, Quality Control co-founder Pierre “Pee” Thomas spoke highly of his young protégé, saying at the time of his signing, “Marlo’s been in development with QC these past two years and this summer is when people will really see his incredible talent. He is one of my favorite artists and he’s speaking that real shit.”

RIP Marlo. My condolences
These racist ass white cops need to stop killing young black men. This is obviously the problem. #BLM. Karl Marx is the solution!
Fuk outta here with that Fox News bullshit clown, go and cheer MAGA because your lord and master can drink a cup of water good, u bitch u!
Hahahahaha. Triggered much? I’m guessing statistics and ACTULA problems affecting this country don’t mater to you much. Nice appropriation of Latino culture in the name, ho. I’m a lifelong Democrat, and will be voting for the show known and Biden aka sleepy joe. Eat a huge bag of dicks, Internet tough guy. LOL. Too easy.
Have fun voting for a loser haha idiot
Wow. You sound really enlightened.
Wait mow your saying a cop did this the same energy you got writing use it against the cop’s im a black man like you shits crazy
BLM!! I stand with my black brothers and sisters on this one! So it’s only OK to say BLM when said black person is killed by a cop? This is very confusing. I was told Latinolivesmatter, translivesmatter and any other life mattering is somehow racist. Maybe if we all said BLM when a young black person is killed that would help bring awareness to the alarming rate of homicide committed by and upon black people. We could actually make some change.
When a black on black crime is committed none of y’all motherfuckers are shouting “black lives matter”. Y’all just a bunch of hypocrites motherfuckers. I believe the BLM movement was initially launched by a small circle of smart people who were actually carrying a cause wider than the fight against police brutality until sheep and ignorant boneheads picked it up and turned it into a motherfuckin joke. SMH
why would anyone need to scream black lives matter if it doesn’t have to do with police officers killing them?
A black man was just killed. His life matters. It only matters if killed by a police officer? Is that what you are saying? Sounds like it. It’s not called blacklivesmatteronlywhenkilledby cops is it?
He was black. He died. His life mattered. Does that only count when killed by police? It’s not BLACKLIVESMATTERONLYWHENKILLEDBYCOPS IS IT? Are you saying his life didn’t matter, you racist?
How do you know he was killed by a black man? Were you there
There are tons of white hits pulling up next to black rappers cars and spraying them with gun fire. It’s a cultural thing? You racist! This is how white people do things. Haven’t you checked any crime statistics? It was probably a racist ass white cop.
yeah you’re probably right if it’s not cops who shot him then it must be a bunch of white kids livin in the suburbs who pulled next to his car and opened fire… dumb fuck !
Your an idiot smh. A black man killed him and in return many more black men are going to die. You must not know where Marlo is from smh
Facts you spoke well my friend black or white you spoke very well
Quality Controlled
First 48 Atlanta
Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization. I don’t see their outrage over this fellow black on black homicide, or was this guy killed by a racist white cop?
Y’all sooo corny, police brutality and black on black violence are two different things, just like incest and mass shootings, two different things for y’all to clean up too…
You’re such a cornball, wannabe brother that’s why you up here. Go find your own site Trump lover! Lol
Nigga stfu and mind yours, punk.
Trump ain’t got nothing to do with all these black on black murders smh. Accept responsibility bruh smh
(1) the higher crime rates in black communities lead to higher interactions with cops. They’re directly related. (2) Check the stats you mope. Blacks are overrepresented in mass shootings (like you didn’t already know). Now incest…. I’ll get back to you on that one.
Bruh we did it.
Naw I don’t think it was the police probably some hoid shit or jealous niggas they say 100 shots were fired
r.i.p………………………………………………………………… . . . . .. .. . . . .
FYI these are just trolls(prob white guys) trying to cause issues when something like this happens to blacks to try divide us… blm movement can’t be stopped and changes going to happen with or without these racist anyways
Bruh a black man literally just died at the hands of another black man (once again). And in return it’s going to be plenty more deaths due to this and you worried about blm?! Idiot smh we got a real problem. You just can’t accept responsibility
Ummm so have we already managed to spin the blame on dem rayciss wypipo?
RIP Marlo
Put the facts correctly out there for goodness sake. Was dude 27 or 29? Not like it matters but I want to read some accurate and articulate articles FFS.
