The ultimate against-type casting
The news comes just as his star was beginning to rise outside of underground hip-hop. Capone, whose legal name is Rodriguez Smith, was reported missing in Chicago back in July. Initial suspicions included kidnapping and gang violence as the causes for his disappearance. As TMZ reports, the East Atlanta lyricist released the album 'Tha Life of a Youngsta' in 2010, then 'Paper and Politics' a year later. More famously, he was also a part of T.I.’s Hustle Gang hip-hop collective.
He featured on their 2017 album 'We Want Smoke.' Fans can still enjoy his final album, 'SlumMade 2.0,' released in December of last year.
