It’s now clear that The Game has been instructing his oldest son, Harlem, to recognize that the opportunity for goodwill exists within the police community, as Harlem has created a GoFundMe page for Arkansas police officer Tommy Norman in order to help the officer sustain his philanthropic efforts to the predominantly black community he serves in North Little Rock. Game shared Harlem’s GoFundMe initiative through an Instagram post earlier today. He explained how he had talked to his son about the difference between good cops and bad ones, which motivated Harlem to try to find an example of a good one, eventually discovering the charitable efforts of Officer Norman. Harlem then had the idea of starting a GoFundMe page so that Norman can continue to “stuff his trunk with toys, goodies, food, and other things to help him continue contributing to the kids and people in Little Rock, Arkansas.” Harlem’s goal was to raise $10,000 for Officer Norman - an amount that the GoFundMe drive has already achieved. Lor Scoota was killed shortly after hosting a charity event in his hometown of Baltimore.Īs of 8pm on Sunday night (July 10), the “a good son for a good cop” fundraising effort has already raised over $32,000. At age 23, he had emerged as one of the few Bmore rappers with a chance of making it out. Yet another inspiring young artist has been taken too soon. Yesterday (June 25) at around 7PM, 23-year-old Tyriece Watson, aka Lor Scoota, was fatally shot while driving in his hometown of Baltimore. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:30PM. Just minutes before the shooting, Scoota had been at Morgan State University, where he hosted a charity basketball event called “Touch the People: Pray for Peace In These Streets.”Īdmittedly, I was not aware of Scoota’s music, though going off the many posthumous essays and tributes that have already been written in his honor, it seems like he was one of the most popular rappers in Baltimore, a city that rarely gets any industry attention. Because of the city’s isolation - countered with his impoverished upbringing, Scoota was forced to build a sound and movement from the ground up. Everything about his music was reflective of his hometown - the place that, tragically, ended up taking his life.
