Chinx, born December 4, 1983, was a rapper from Queens, New York. The rapper was a member of the Rockaway Riot Squad alongside fellow slain rapper Stack Bundles. He later joined French Montana’s Coke Boy Records. He released two studio albums in 2015 and 2016 — ‘Welcome to JFK’ and ‘Legends Never Die.’
The rapper, born Lionel Du Fon Pickens, had a burgeoning career that was sadly cut short. On May 17, 2015, NYPD officers responded to a 911 call and found the rapper and another passenger shot in a car. Chinx was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead at the young age 31 years old.
