Introduction

Business side of music industry tends to unveil the drama and violence and there may be no better example than the story of Julio Foolio aka Charles Jones, the budding rapper. The rapper from Jacksonville Florida was on his way to the limelight fame because of the rapping skills, and heartfelt lyrics. However he was a man who had hope and despite the fact that his productivity was demonstrated on his occupation, his life ended violently. This article will explore and analyse Julio Foolio’s life, his death and ramifications for rappers and the entire population.

Who Was Julio Foolio?

[Minor source – Controversy] Another rappers who could be associated with Jacksonville was Julio Foolio or by his real name was Charles Jones. The choice of the lyrics in songs of Foolio were simple and indisguise and the contents of the songs were topics that he had faced in life. He was taken to stardom by track releases such as “Coming Up” and “Beatbox Remix” which presented more of his singing and storytelling abilities.

Skeem’s music was all about struggle, hardship and living on the streets and his fan base thought the content he was releasing was gritty and realistic. Still, as the popularity grew, the main plot of Foolio’s life was the story of violence – something all too familiar to many artsists.

The Night of the Tragic Shooting

As it was mentioned earlier, on 23rd June Julio Foolio decided to celebrate his 26th birthday in Tampa, Florida. It was held at an Airbnb but by virtue of the massive turnout, event organizers together with Foolio and his crew proceeded to the Home2 Suites hotel. Regrettably, in adherence to the course of conduct that would otherwise mark their downfall, Foolio shared their new location on social media.

Surveillance camera recordings were to later reveal that the aggressors had trailed Foolio from the purported Airbnb to the hotel. In addition, the survérial-video recorded the suspects’ activities after they followed Foolio’s car and shooting concluded at the hotel. This actually brings understanding on what it means to be famous or in the lime light or in as much as one comes from a fame background in regards to security.

The Role of Social Media

Social media stands out as one of the most important features of the modern world leaving a possibility of both pro and cons. For celebrities such as Julio Foolio, real time update increases the fan engagement but at the same time poses one of the biggest risks. It is also partly due to Foolio’s decision to share his location that all sorts of unfortunate circumstances take their course.

Looking at this episode it is clear that celebrities and their handlers should be more careful with details that they feed to the public especially when they are in harms way. These networks that facilitate the achievement of potential connections if not well handled can turn into vehicles of harassment and threats.

Arrests and Legal Proceedings

The Tampa and Jacksonville police proceeded to work with full force to ensure that those involved in the shooting were caught. Three persons were arrested which include Alicia Latoya Andrews, Isaiah Jermaine Chance, and Sean Andre Gathright and the charges preferred against them were an attempt to commit premeditated first-degree murder. They were easily identified and apprehended after frenzied searches through the CCTV footage.

Nevertheless, Rashad Murphy, aged 30 and Davion Murphy, aged 28, have not been apprehended. The arrest of Andrews and Chance as well as Gathright could also be described as rather spectacular – SWAT teams were involved in the process, which shows how dangerous the case was.

Gang Affiliation and Violence

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and Tampa Police have also pointed to the suspects as having links with local gangs. Gang violence is not new phenomenon in the rap industry, which sometimes translates to the readers, and often is manifested not only in compositions, but in clashes between performers. Foolio’s implication in such rivalries and the general gang system in Jacksonville shows how gangs are closely linked and the violence most artists endure.

Appreciation of this background is essential when it comes to dealing with the sources of such violence. It therefore requires more elaborate approaches in the attempts to reduce the influence of these gangs and protect artists who get countered in such hostile conditions.

Surveillance Footage Insights

Without surveillance footage, I doubt if this case could have been solved in the same manner as shown above. In addition to recording suspects’ motion, the footage inclusion was useful to offer the key statement of the suspects’ intentions and actions. They are very helpful and valuable in the contemporary criminal investigation since they provide clear proof that is beyond doubt and hence helps in ensuring that one is well prosecuted.

The following are some of the quotes from fans, fellow artists and community leaders as well as uses Foolio story as a discursive springboard towards addressing violence or lack of it on young artists.

Foolio and his music, as well as his story, interfere with the remembrance of the fact that people who live in the framework of violence are also not spared. He left his legacy through his music some of which even today are proofs of his talent and the hardship he faced.

This also involes, heightened security for presidents and other politicians, public awareness campaigns, and assistance given to young talents.
