Disturbing twist in Vancouver gang war: Members post rap songs advocating murder of rivals

Four months after allegedly committing his second murder, a young Surrey man posted a rap tribute to slain Brothers Keepers founder Gavinder Grewal online.

Both men were shot to death — Kang, 27, in Surrey and Malhi, 19, in Abbotsford. Police said Malhi was a university student and accidental victim of a hit that targeted someone else. Just before Christmas, a young Toronto rapper who had ties to the Brothers Keepers gang was shot to death inside a South Surrey home. Earlier this month, another Toronto rapper was arrested in Surrey after police found a loaded .40-calibre pistol in his vehicle during a traffic stop in Guildford. After his release from a B.C. jail last fall, a rapper calling himself Lolo Lanski posted his song Dedman to SoundCloud and YouTube. It had over 80,000 downloads as of this week.

A source told the Sun that a recording of the 911 call was part of a disclosure package that was sent to the pretrial jail for an accused in another gang case. Court records confirm that Anigbo was in custody on charges of uttering threats, possession of a firearm without a licence and carrying a prohibited device.

The phenomenon is new to B.C., says Keiron McConnell, a Vancouver police officer who did his PhD on gangs and now also teaches at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and Simon Fraser University. Stuart said the new development here with gang-linked rappers releasing “dis” tracks online “sounds pretty identical to Chicago and the south of London and San Jose. It sounds pretty similar.Even the original Chicago drill music terms — opps for opposition, pole or pipe for gun — are being adopted in rap lyrics by gangs around the world, including here in B.C.

“It doesn’t take a drill music video to make one of these kids want to kill somebody on the other side,” he said. “These rap beefs are just the newest vehicle for the same kind of taunting and jockeying that would have gone on at the beginning of social media.” “I don’t really buy the narrative that we often have that it’s like someone posts on YouTube a drill video and three hours later somebody’s shot. That is the rarest connection I would say between drill music and violence.”

It is a very sick world. Rap type music is brain rot music.

This has been going on for decades

It's not the kids fault that thier parents haven't exposed them to a quality life, and this is all they know. 🙃 These kids are generally the product of women having babies to subsidize thier income.

The good news is they'll kill each other.

Is JustinTrudeau going to do anything about Canada’s gang & organized crime problem? cdnpoli

I’m sure they’re all good kids deep down, maybe if we had built a few more basketball court for them or perhaps banned all hunting rifles this wouldn’t be happening. Politicians & police need to wake up and deal with the gangs, not legal gun owner!!!!

Even the gangs are turning effeminate:)

Um, how much rap have you heard? It's like 90 percent murder.

Clowns

all rap advocates murder
