Career
Hamilton began his music career in 2009. His first solo mixtape, Built 4 Interrogation, was released in 2010.[3]
Death
On December 16, 2011, around 5:30 PM, Hamilton was preparing to shoot a music video when he engaged in a verbal altercation with another person. He was then shot once in the chest with a handgun. Hamilton was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.[4][5]
Witnesses stated that the argument that led to Hamilton's killing was over a piece of candy.[6][7][1] Statements conflicted, however, with a police officer telling the AP, "It seems everybody witnessed something very different ... We’re just trying to go back and make sense of everything."[8]
On December 26, Vinson Hardimon, also known as Young Vito, was arrested by Atlanta police after turning himself in and was charged with the murder of Hamilton.[9][1] On February 26, 2013, Hardimon was acquitted of the murder charge; however, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison on related assault and weapons charges.[10]
