Chii Wvttz, 18-Year-Old Drill Rapper: The Latest Fatality

Today many woke to the sad news of the passing of another promising hip hop artist, Chii Wvttz.

Who is Chii Wvttz?

Chii Wvttz was a young rapper out of New York with hopes of taking his talent national. Although only 18, he planted his feet firmly in the hip hop soil. He also made tracks. Wytzz didn’t come to play. In hip-hop, the grind is what precedes the shine. He was making a name for himself. Finally, the masses began turning in his direction. Wytzz was on his way to fulfilling his dream.

“The teenage rap star was on the brink of national success,… allied with Kay Flock and other rising drill rappers,” a source offers in tribute.

What a sad commentary.
