Rich Homie Quan, one of Atlanta’s bedrock rap artists, dies at 34

Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug struck gold in 2014 with the song Lifestyle, lifting both of them to the top of the charts, a place in XXL’s Freshman Class and serious success. But their musical partnership frayed shortly after that, which prosecutors believe led to a catastrophic falling-out between two factions of the Bloods street gang in Atlanta. Among the victims in that conflict was Corey Lamar, Rich Homie Quan’s father, who was shot at a barbershop he owns by rival gang members.
