Gangsta Boo, a rapper and former member of hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia, passed away. She was 43. Boo, whose birth name was Lola Mitchell, was found dead around 4 pm on Sunday afternoon. Boo’s death was confirmed by a representative. The cause of her death has not been disclosed.
A product of the Dirty South School of hip-hop in the 1990s, Boo’s edgy raps made her an energetic Memphis counterpart to Philadelphia rapper Eve, Brooklyn’s Lil Kim and Miami’s Trina.
