The son of veteran hip-hopper KRS-One, aka Kris Parker/The Blastmaster, has been found dead in his Atlanta apartment, the victim of an apparent suicide. Randy Hubbard Parker, aged 23, died from a gunshot wound to the head, according to a report by the Medical Examiner's Office in Fulton County, Georgia. His mother, Simone G Parker, released a statement this week explaining that her son, a graphic designer and fashion entrepreneur, had been suffering from long term depression at the time of his death.
A private funeral will be held on 18 Jul, with a memorial service in New York planned for August.
