Young B The Future, a rising star in the battle rap world, was killed last night (Dec. 8) in Los Angeles after being shot multiple times.

Young B was leaving his girlfriend's home when unknown assailants shot him approximately five times, according to B's friend and media manager Hollywood Stilt. The rapper was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital, but pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

Earlier this year, Young B made waves throughout the battling community with a win over the heavily favored B Money at Snoop Dogg's Gladiator School. It was Snoop who gave the Moreno Valley, Ca. native his greatest visibility as Young B continued to carve out a niche in the local and national circuits.
