Remembering Chinx

Its been 2 years since Queens rapper, Chinx, was fatally shot and killed while driving down Queens Boulevard in the early morning hours of May 17, 2015, just weeks before the release of his first studio album, Welcome to JFK.

The music Chinx put out over the years never disappointed, and truly showcased his talent and skills. From his mixtapes early on with Big Mike and ITSBIZKIT, Chinx displayed that he could make a significant mark on the hip-hop community, and proved that his legacy wasn’t going anywhere. With features from Jadakiss, to Rick Ross, and even to Future, Chinx was at the peak of his career in the midst of his passing, and was surely going to be recognized worldwide for his story and message.
