Rich Homie Quan never lost his touch, and it shows in the final music video he shot before Quan passed away.
On Monday, September 30, Rich Homie Quan's estate released the visuals for his posthumous single "Song Cry" and it'll make your eyes water. The video begins with messages from Atlanta's Mayor Andre Dickens and the City Council who proclaimed September 17 as "Rich Homie Quan Memorial Day" at the "Type of Way" rapper's funeral earlier this month. It continues with emotional scenes from the memorial service as well as cameos from DC Young Fly, who spoke at the funeral, and Boosie Badazz.
Rich Homie appears in between scenes of his own funeral. The 34-year-old rapper had started filming scenes for the music video before he died. In the Marcell JB-directed flick, you can see his five children mourn their father's death alongside their grandmother and other family members at the service and the grave site. The video concludes with scenes from the after-party at The Bank in Atlanta where the late rapper's young son rapped the lyrics to one of his father's hits.
"Song Cry" dropped a few hours before Rich Homie Quan, born Dequantes Devontay Lamar, was laid to rest. Lamar passed away on the morning of September 5. According to TMZ, the rapper's girlfriend Amber Williams saw he was lying on the couch and put a blanket on him before she left his Atlanta home. Williams noticed Lamar was unresponsive when she returned from dropping their kids off at school. He began to foam at the mouth after she rolled him over. He died on the scene and his body was transported to Fulton County morgue. He was 34.
Rest in peace Rich Homie Quan. Watch the full video below.
