One of Sweden's most popular rappers was shot dead in Stockholm late on Thursday, heightening outrage over gang-related violence that has afflicted the Nordic country in recent years.
Einar, 19, whose real name was Nils Gronberg, was killed in the upmarket Stockholm suburb of Hammarby Sjostad, and no arrests had been made so far. In a previous incident last year, Einar was abducted and assaulted by rival rappers.
"A young life has been extinguished, and I understand that he meant a lot to many young people. It is tragic," Prime Minister Stefan Lofven told TT, Sweden's national news agency.
Gronberg, who made his debut at 16, issued four albums, had tens of millions of streams on music platforms and won several Swedish Grammys and other awards.
Last year, he was kidnapped and beaten up by rival rappers with ties to a Stockholm crime gang. Several people, including Yasin Byn, another of Sweden's most successful rappers, were given prison terms for their role in the kidnapping.

He got his dream, he lived the life of a black male.
Why whites try to “be black” is beyond me.
He got his dream, he died the death of a black male.......................
Most likely he was killed by a black male. Somali, etc.
Not another ass-pie-wring wrapper........... Not into Swedish hip-hop/wrap. And, gun violence in a higher class hood. Paging hogg/gretta. One to speak out about gun violence and the other to talk about the increase in glowbull warming due to the heat generated when firing a bullet. In any case, condolences to the family.
A rapper. How many of them do we need, anyhow?
Well Red, these things happen...
Haha.
Gotta wonder what these ‘artists’ do to PO people enough to shoot them.
Not that I care. Good riddance.
Entertaining to imagine if Al Capone had a band ....
Yep. That is the definitive end point of pathological white guilt. However this kid did not come to exist in a cultural or political vacuum. This pathology permeates young people mired in decadence.
Isn’t dying part of the whole aspiring rapper shtick?
Juicy Smollet caper gone bad?
Yumpin Yiminy!!!
He be keepin’ it real, yo.
Rap and Rappers should be outlawed.
I just can’t understand how a sub-culture built around drugs, crime, and violence could lead to this...
Being Swedish, wouldn’t his raps only be about bikini teams, furniture, snow, fish and fjords?
He was actually kidnapped by a rival (Somali) rapper a while back.
SWEDWEN NEEDS MASSIVE GUN CONTROL. OH THEY HAS IT ALREADY.
Don’t know a thing about this guy, but rap in general is usually all about hard drugs, crime, violence and degradation of women, is anyone surprised several have been shot?
I’m not surprised at all, everything about rap is violent. First time a friend brought over the 1st Beastie Boys album and played it, I said then this should be a huge red flag to the authorities. They ignored it.
Politicians ignored the unrest among the younger generation, the violence, the complete lack of respect for authority or anyone else, the increase in hard drug use anmong this crowd, the increase in violence and sex crimes, the serious decline of morals and values...
Everything about it should have been a wake up call, they ignored it. Your younger generation is this angry and you don’t even notice???
Listen to rap lyrics for a while and tell me why antifa exists...blm too. Self explanatory if you’ve neen paying attention for the past 30 years. I saw this coming. I couldn’t have specifically predicted antifa or blm, but I saw it coming. The predilection for violence is obvious.
