On June 18, 2018, XXXTentacion — the Florida rapper whose raw, emotionally charged music made him one of the defining voices of the SoundCloud generation — was shot and killed during a robbery outside a motorcycle dealership in Deerfield Beach, Florida, at the age of 20. Born Jahseh Onfroy, XXXTentacion built a massive following through songs including “Look at Me!,” “Jocelyn Flores,” “SAD!,” and “Moonlight,” blending hip-hop with rock, emo, and deeply personal themes of depression, heartbreak, and isolation. His death cut short one of rap’s fastest-rising careers and left behind a musical legacy that continues to influence a generation of artists and fans.
