ANOTHER RAPPER GUNNED DOWN-M-BONE OF CALI SWAG DISTRICT WAS JUST IN T.O.

The Hip-Hop community suffered another blow with the untimely passing of Cali Swag District group member M-Bone who was shot and killed late last night in his Inglewood stomping grounds. This group was just in Toronto on Rap City on MuchMTV Canada about 2 weeks ago. It is such a shame that in these days when much rappers cannot cross the border into Canada, Cali Swag is on the right side of the law with no drug or gun charges hindering their Canadian entry and appearances. Once again, gunfire has silenced a member of the hip-hop community.

According to local police, no suspects have been apprehended as they continue to piece together clues in the senseless killing. A rep for Cali Swag released a statement to MTV News expressing the loss of the beloved group."Cali Swag District member Mante 'M-Bone' Talbert was the victim of a random act of violence last night, Sunday, May 15th in his hometown of Inglewood, CA.

As police are still investigating the shooting and untimely death we ask that anyone with information contact the Inglewood Police Department.

He picked up on the [Dougie] dance [and] he learned how to do it [the way] they do it in Texas," C-Smoove recently told MTV News. "He came back like, 'Y'all should make a song about this dance.' So we made it happen. We went in the booth and we tore it downThe Inglewood Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward and call its homicide division at (310) 412-5246 or its 24-hour anonymous hotline number, (888) 41 CRIME, or (888) 412-7463.
