Tragedy in Hip Hop strikes far too often whether it be through violence or random death.
Toronto rapper Redway has reportedly become the latest tragedy the Hip Hop world has to deal with. According to CP24, the emcee born Shane Redway, along with three other people, fell victim to a tragic car accident earlier today (August 1) in the Greater Toronto Area. According to reports, the car occupied by the Toronto native lost control, crashed into a guardrail and burst into flames near Pearson International Airport.
“At this point, we are looking at every option,” Const. Kerry Schmidt told the news network. “We don’t have any indication [as to what caused the crash] from direct witnesses, so we are appealing to any witnesses that may have seen the vehicle prior to the collision to come forward and speak with police.”
Redway was an up-and-coming artist from Toronto who released an project called Years Ahead last year. He had planned to not only be on top of the Canadian Hip Hop landscape, but the international one as well.
Drake paid tribute to his fellow Toronto rapper on Instagram. He says he saw Redway at an event prior to his death.
“Should have told you yesterday I was proud of what we had both done for our city over these years,” Drake writes for the caption of a picture of Redway with a mic, “and I didn’t cause there were too many chairs and too many people in the way. A lesson to anybody second guessing. Rest easy king.”
HipHopDX sends its condolences to Redway’s family and friends. We will keep you updated on the developments of this story.
Who?
Rest assured i speak on behalf of everybody when i say:
“we will not be missing you. matter of fact we ain’t even noticed you were here in the 1st place. that’s how irrelevant you was, nigga”
yo sir, deserve to rot in hell
You sir dont speak on behalf of no one but yourself! People like you are why this world is fucked beyond repair you piece of shit! Matter of fact if you was in his shoes.. shit nvm you definitely should be the one burnt to ashes!!
Rip redway
Good riddance…..probably high on something the way he crashed…..killed himself and an innocent and could have killed someone else if it hadn’t been so late at night.
Definitely special places in hell for people like you. Enjoy.
GOOD Riddance you shouldnt wish death on anybody you peace of shit, That was a friend of mine , Toronto natives, with real talent
Tru, fuck all Toronto rappers.
I thought when I clicked Redway’s name it would take me to some of his music… instead it took me to a story about Brother Ali making a tourdate stop in Redway, CA…….
RIP
Thanks for the head’s up! The link is fixed and now you can go to an introductory video of Redway.
Cars are death machines and the cause of so many deaths. Getting behind the wheel on these crazy road and getting into a wreck is not a random death. How many deaths until we realize our current modes of transportation have become primitive along time ago? Plus the oil companies run the world. This is why i dont drive like that. Its not that serious.
R.I.P. to all four victims and I send a prayer to their families and friends
