Queensbridge rapper Kiing Shooter dies after being hospitalized for medical complications.
Born William Daniels, Kiing Shooter was closely affiliated with rapper Dave East. The two came up doing freestyles together and collaborated frequently in the studio. Kiing Shooter was signed to Jungle’s Street Dream Records through Nas’ label Mass Appeal. The rapper was on the rise under his predecessor’s guidance.
