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. Like those female rappers, Boo’s start came with a prominent regional crew – Three 6 Mafia, founded by DJ Paul, Juicy J and Lord Infamous – with whom she recorded a handful of studio albums.—IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
