Philadelphia rapper PnB Rock was fatally shot at a Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles on Tuesday during a robbery. The hip-hop world paid tribute.

Rock’s mother soon moved the family to a suburb in northeast Philadelphia in an attempt to keep her children on the straight-and-narrow, but soon enough, Rock was sent to a youth detention center after robbing a kid in the neighborhood.

Through haunting keys and an infectious chorus that blurred the line between singing and rapping, he established the formula for his future hits. “Younger heads in Philly were playing his music everywhere,” Morrison said. “Folks in my age group, folks younger than me, across the board.” Fans were drawn to his style of melodic rapping, shining on choruses that burrowed into ears.
