Battle Rap Mourns Young B's Death

Last night we learned that rising star emcee Young B The Future was shot and killed in Los Angeles. The battle rap world responded in kind, pouring in thoughts and prayers for Young B's friends and family via social media.

The news comes less than two months after another AHAT battler, 20-year-old up-and-comer Jay Scott, died in October.

We've collected a small fraction of the reactions from the community and shared them below.
