Young Scooter, Atlanta Rapper Signed to Future and Waka Flocka Flame, Dies at 39
Young Scooter, an Atlanta rapper and collaborator of Future and Waka Flocka Flame, has died at the age of 39.
Born Kenneth Edward Bailey, Scooter developed a strong presence in Atlanta rap throughout his career, becoming one of the first artists signed to Future’s Freebandz label and later Waka Flocka Flame’s Brick Squad Monopoly under Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records. He culled a following based on his steady mixtape output, putting out records with Gucci Mane and Zaytoven, and earned his first Billboard Hot 100 appearance with a feature on Future and Juice Wrld’s “Jet Lag” in 2018. Though not a chart titan, Scooter was a consistent presence in Atlanta hip-hop during its commercial boom in the 2010s, appearing on singles from Future and Young Thug and working with artists like Juicy J, Kodak Black and Rick Ross.
