With details scarce, reports state that the rapper was shot in Queens after Loso's show located at Club Amazura.

G Baby, 22, was the protégé of Memphis Bleek and was a new artist of Bleek's upcoming label, Get Low Records.  Outside of the music business, the rapper stated that G Baby was also a childhood friend.

After hearing the news of his friend's fatal shooting, Bleek turned to his fans and Twitter to give his reaction to such a tragedy.

“I'm in mood I can't explain I lost a real n**ga 2day R.I.P. to my n**ga who was like a bro to me!!  G.BABY..Love u G….”

“2nite goes out for the baby boy G I got u my n**ga see u on the other side!  Thx to those who showed me love…getlow we to strong to break!!”

Fab also gave some words and paid condolences to another fallen soldier.

“Life is not Promised.. Live Life to the fullest, & like there is no 2moro.. Lost a soldier in the field this morning.. R.I.P. G Baby.”

Along with Brown, there has been a rising wave of violence within New York as a 13-year-old, Kevin Miller, was shot in the back of the head from a stray bullet back in October.

Not allowing the politics to set him back mentally, Bleek continues his grind until the drop with the release of the track “Still Ill”

“Still Ill”

HipHopWired was able to catch up with Bleek and speak with the rapper on the upcoming release and what to expect as well as dispelling certain misconceptions.

“I'm gonna make it happen, trust me with this album I'm gonna come strong and let people know, everything that you've been hearing over the years, it's all been Bleek. I didn't have a deal when Coming of Age and “It's Alright” came out, none of that. It's just crazy the way people think. Rumors get started now, somebody think of it in their house and they just put in on the blog and it goes everywhere and everybody believes it.”

He also added creating his own brand and the details behind the delay on the album.

“Oh man, just basically showing people the growth and the process of building my own establishment right now Get low Records. That's what's been the long delay, I felt like I didn't want to put out another release under Def Jam if they going to look at me selling 400,000 copies as a loss. I'd rather lose on my own label like that, you know what I mean. So it was the process of getting out the deal, the process of getting a distribution deal and one that's suitable for me, one that generates the right amount of attention as well as the assets, I didn't want to just jump on any deal if that's the case I'd be doing what every other rapper [is doing].”

Scheduled for a release on March 23, Bleek will step to the plate to show that he's capable of standing on his own without Roc A Fella behind him.
