Philadelphia Rap Legend Cool C Faces Execution In January!



Former Philadelphia rapper Cool C, who has been in prison for the last 18 years following a 1996 murder, robbery conviction, will be executed on Jan. 8, reports AllHipHop. C, born, Christopher Roney made a name for himself in the rap game during the late ’80s as a solo artist, most notably for his track “The Glamorous Life” and his Juice Crew diss. He later joined the hardcore rap outfit C.E.B. In 1996, the now 44-year-old rapper was involved in a bank robbery along with fellow group member Steady B. The botched heist led to the death of guard Lauretha Vaird. Both men were arrested for the crime. Roney was originally sentenced to die by lethal injection March 9, 2006 but was granted a stay by the governor of Pennsylvania. Steady B continues to serve a life sentence for his role in the crime.
