“Hip Hop Homicides” aims to provide an added layer to consider by taking a ‘big picture’ look at the epidemic of violence in hip-hop. Watch the preview of this new series via the YouTube clip below.

Lathan serves as the host of the show and the premiere episode kicked off on Nov. 3 with the Pop Smoke case. The rapper was gunned down in the Hollywood Hills in what was first labeled a “robbery gone wrong”… but the scene lacked the usual signs of forced entry and ransacking associated with those crimes. Was it a targeted hit?
