Turk called into a local New Orleans radio station last week and spoke on the forever remembered Magnolia Shorty and ask New Orleans to STOP the Violence. Magnolia Shorty introduced Turk to Cash Money Records and he was later signed and joined the group “Hot Boys.”

Exactly a week has passed since the New Orleans Hip-Hop community was stunned with the double murder of Magnolia Shorty and Jerome “Man Man” Hampton. The healing process, however, has already begun. Last night, a memorial concert of sorts was held in the city’s Club Red Velvet.

The show, which included performances from artists such as: 5th Ward Webbie, Rude Jude, Kourtney Heart and others, was thrown to assist in raising money for Shorty’s family. On Thursday, December 30 at Fifth African Baptist Church, Cash Money’s second female artist will be laid to rest at a funeral which will almost surely bring out hundreds of members of the community.

In regards to her actual murder, details are still being gathered. Those with any info are encouraged to contact the local police department. In the meantime, however, the family has established the Renetta Lowe Memorial Fund in her memory. Donations may be given to Capital One banks at the bank account #5626134485.
