T.I. delivered a heartfelt eulogy at Doe B’s funeral.
The funeral for slain Hustle Gang emcee Doe B took place yesterday afternoon at the True Divine Baptist Church in his native Montgomery, Alabama. Those in attendance included Trae Tha Truth, Montgomery mayor Todd Strange and HG boss T.I., who delivered a moving eulogy.
“It’s very rare that you find somebody at the age of 20 or 21 and you could walk them into a room with a Nelly, or you could walk them into a rom with a Timbaland or Jay Z, and they not lose their cool, they’re composed, postured, with the morals, standards, and the principles that were instilled in him from his family, his mom, his dad, grandmama, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles… I will never let his life be lived in vain. All of my resources, all of my relationships, all of my efforts, all of my energy will be put forth to make sure that his dream lives on.”
During the speech, Tip also reflected on Doe’s preference for the studio over the club, praising his work ethic.
“Over here at Hustle Gang, we have a host of artists. All of them know that I tell them ‘listen, your talent is only going to get you so far’. It’s the things that you learn, the things that you are able to do outside of the booth that will separate you from the rest. I said the same thing to Glen. He never left the studio… he said ‘I’d rather be here than the club, because I know this is going to pay off.”

Another suspect in Doe B’s murder has turned himself over to the police.
Last week we reported on 25-year old Jason McWilliams turning himself in for the murder of Hustle Gang’s rapper Doe B. The December 28th shooting, which took place at Centennial Hill Bar and Grill in Doe B’s hometown of Montgomery, Albama, not only resulted in the death of Doe B, but a woman named Kimberle Johnson was also fatally shot, while six others were wounded.
Now there is news of a second shooter turning himself over to the cops. Authorities say that Montgomery resident Darius Thomas, aged 25, turned himself in Wednesday night and was charged with two counts capital murder.
Thomas, along with McWilliams, are being held without bond at the Montgomery County Detention Facility. See pictures of both suspects in the gallery above.
Funeral services for both Kimberle Johnson and Doe B will be held Saturday at E.G. Cummings Memorial Funeral Home on 1120 Bragg St. Johnson’s service is at 10 A.M. while Doe B’s follows at 2 P.M.
