The world of hip hop is in mourning over a terrible demise.Rising rapper Enchanting, who was once signed to 1017 Records by Gucci Mane, passed away, as her close friend and collaborator Lil CJ Kasino announced on social media. She was 26 years old.
In an Instagram post from June 11, Kasino wrote, "They Pulled The Plug Bro This S--t So F--ked Up." "You were a Finna Pull Throw; I just knew that. You're lost forever."
He continued, "You Went Way Further Than Us; I Always Told You How Proud I Was of You," remembering all the hours they spent creating music together at his studio.
The "No Luv" rapper passed away, although her cause of death was not made public. News of her death surfaced a few days after it was reported by several outlets that she was on life support.
Kasino posted a picture of Enchanting—real name: Channing Nicole Larry—sitting in a recording booth next to the message.
Enchanting, who was raised mostly in Fort Worth, Texas, and Atlanta, started her musical career at the age of 18, focusing on hip hop after graduating from high school. She joined Mane's 1017 Records in 2020, and before leaving the label, she was featured on three compilation albums.
Before leaving the label, she also put out two full-length albums, Luv Scarred/NNo Luv in 2023 and No Luv in 2022.
"Remaining in the studio and consistently recording helps me identify the style I can be proficient in," she stated in her 1017 Records artist profile. "It's like Trap-n-Blues."
But Enchanting used music as more than just a means of self-expression. "Other people can relate to the things I say," she observed. I could be of assistance to someone in any circumstance; they could come to me for solace and support."
After learning of her passing, other musicians, such as Gucci, Ericka Banks, and Lakeyah, paid moving homage to the rapper.
Gucci posted on Instagram on June 11th, saying, "So sad to have to say R.I.P. to such a great young lady, a true star. We're all gone. We miss you, Chant."
