Why Fredo Santana is a young Chicago legend, and how he helped push the Chicago music culture forward

By: Bekoe

Bekoe and Illinois Jones give their opinion on Fredo Santana, drug use, and his legacy.

The City recently lost a young pioneer who pave his way from poverty to long term popularity all by turning his negatives into a positive outcome. Fredo Santana passed January 19th late Friday night due to a fatal seizure, and most say it was cause by his health issues from dealing with kidney and liver failure, which he mentioned back in October 2017. As of now his autopsy is still pending.

Been in here since Friday doctor say a nigga had kidney failure an liver failure I'm getting back to normal sorry to all my fans turbo bandana will not be dropping tomorrow due to my health issues thanks for everyone who prayed for a nigga I wouldn't wish this on my worse enemy

We brought this topic to life via iLLANOiZE Radio, in which we discussed how Fredo changed the Chicago music culture, and why we consider him a young legend. We also chopped it up about artists who sent out their condolences, and how people need to be more responsible with drug usage, as well as the impact Fredo's death may cause on Chief Keef.

We also mention how certain sites would only post tragedies for website traffic, but never supported the artist music, or career.

R.l.P Fredo, l liked Sosa’s (SHIT l DON’T LIKE) when l first seen it. the shit was just raw, the beauty of hip hop is when it’s your time nothing can stop you. Fredo stood out to me.l was like, now that nigga crazy and I’m a little crazy so l watched him. When he said he looked up to me, l wanted to work with him but we didn’t get the chance to do anything. When l heard he passed l didn’t know what to say. To his family l send my condolence. SOSA call my phone
