French Montana remembers Chinx on Hip-Hop Homicides.
French Montana was the latest guest on WE Tv’s Hip-Hop Homicides which was aired on Thursday on Thanksgiving. In the clip of the show shared by 50 Cent, Montana remembers his late friend and fellow Coke Boys rapper Chinx, who died in 2015 at the age of 31.
“I met Chinx in Yonkers. He used to come around the studio, he was mad humble, quiet, [he] just used to sit there and observe,” French said in a conversation with host Van Lathan Jr. “Then I started hearing his music and I’m like, ‘Oh, he got something.’”
He continued, “He had just come home from jail, he was trying to get into the music and he was serious. He loved music… that’s what me and him had the most in common. Music was our therapy.”
The rapper then praised Chinx for his work ethic, his flow switch, adapting to the situation, and crowned him as a better rapper than him. “He was 10x better than me,” he said. “Because he seen all my mistakes. He was like a better version. Man, if Chinx was alive, Chinx would be Top 5.”
Chinx was shot with another victim in a car at Queens Boulevard and 84th Drive on May 17, 2015. The rapper was then transported to Jamaica Medical Center in Queens with gunshot wounds to his torso, where he was pronounced dead.
Chinx’s long-awaited postmortem effort Chinx Drugz 6 will be released next month. Billboard reports that the late rapper’s new mixtape will be available on streaming sites on December 2, two days before his 39th birthday.
CD6 will include a slew of high-profile collaborators, including Migos’ Quavo and Offset, Griselda’s Benny The Butcher, and Chinx’s brother JFK WAXX. It will be Chinx’s first posthumously production since Legends Never Die in 2016. December is shaping up to be a memorable month for Chinx fans, since he’ll also feature on French Montana’s forthcoming EP “Money Heist: Coke Boys 6.”
