Not the way to start out the day...
This is Stack Bundles. A rapper from New York. Excuse the B2K/Pretty Ricky looking pic, but it's the best one I could find.
Anyway, he got murdered this morning. That's right. Another day, another dead rapper.

At best, he was an upcoming rapper. He was with DJ Clue's Desert Storm camp for awhile. He released a few solo mixtapes, had a group called Riot Squad, and had joined up with Jim Jones' Dipset offshoot Byrdgang.
Reason it matters to me, I was/am a fan. I had heard of Stack before, but never really paid attention. Until I heard him with one of my favorite rappers Joe Budden. On Budden's 2005 mixtape I'm Back, he had three great appearances. On Budden's Mood Muzik 1, he showed up and killed it twice. And then on Budden's Mood Muzik 2, his only appearance came on "6 Minutes Of Death" along with Jae Millz and is probably one of the hottest tracks I heard in years. This made me listen to one of his solo mixtapes, Bidding War which I really enjoyed and I'm now downloading his other mixtape, My Life Is Like A Movie. I heard rumors that he and Budden had a falling out as of late after he joined Byrdgang, but who knows for sure.
Anyway, R.I.P. Stack Bundles. He's so under the radar I can't even find his real name. Another loss for hip-hop.
