List of murdered hip hop musicians

The following is a list of notable hip hop musicians who have been murdered.

Two studies in the mid 2010s concluded that murder was the cause of 51.5% of American hip hop musician deaths, with the average age of death at 25-30 years of age. Hip hop has a higher rate of homicide than any other genre of music (ranging from 5-32 times higher).[1][2]

In 2020 XXL noted that many of these deaths remain unsolved. Among 77 deaths they documented, more than 40 remain unsolved, which include the notable cases of the murder of Tupac Shakur, the murder of the Notorious B.I.G. and the murder of Big L.[3] Some reasons cited for the high homicide rate include the poor background of many artists, many of which include involvement in criminal gangs, rampant drug use and poor pastoral care among artists and record labels.[4]
