MediaZoneJA.com understands that up coming dancehall artiste out of Washington DC, Rraw Dawg was shot dead on his way home from a party in DC last Friday.

The artiste was said to be close to Bounty Killer and the rest of the Alliance. Efforts to contact members of the Alliance proved futile but according to an email from MediaZoneJA.com visitor, Miss Marcy, Rraw Dawgs brother was shot and killed last weekend outside a Bounty Killer show in DC, they say the whole parking lot turned into a shooting range.

Miss Marcy went on to say, I saw Bounty Killer in Queens last night at Twin Thimb b-day bash and when the selector played "Fallen Soldiers" by DeMarco and bigged up Rraw Dawg, you could tell Killer felt that sh#t.

According to his MySpace profile (www.myspace.com/rrawdawg), Rraw Dawg migrated to New York by way of Kingston Jamaica at an early age. He was schooled in New York City Public School System. He first started toying with the idea of being a DJ by playing around with several classmates in High School being the lunchroom entertainment. He always had a love for the music but was not sure if he was cut out to be a DJ. It took the encouragement of family members who pushed Rraw to explore his talent.

He worked with the likes of producers John John, Baby G and Jam 2. He voiced on many riddims alongside some of the hottest names in dancehall and had also proved his talent on stage alongside DJ's like Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, Vybz Kartel and many more. He possessed a stage show presence that required attention.

MediaZoneJA.com sends condolences to the family and friends of Rraw Dawg.
