Chinx
Lionel Du Fon Pickens (December 4, 1983 – May 17, 2015), known professionally as Chinx (formerly Chinx Drugz), was an American rapper from Far Rockaway, Queens, New York.[1][2] He rose to prominence in the early 2010s as a member of the Coke Boys collective led by French Montana, releasing mixtapes and collaborating on tracks that blended street-oriented lyricism with mainstream hip-hop appeal.[3] Chinx was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in Briarwood, Queens, at age 31, shortly before the release of his debut studio album, cutting short a career marked by raw energy and affiliations with influential figures in New York rap.[2][4] Born and raised in the Redfern and Edgemere housing projects, Chinx began his musical journey in the late 1990s as part of the Rockaway-based group The Riot Squad alongside childhood friend Stack Bundles.[3] After Stack Bundles' death in 2007, Chinx continued honing his craft as Chinx Drugz, reflecting his gritty, drug-trade-inspired narratives in his music. His breakthrough came in 2012 with the single "I'm a Coke Boy" featuring French Montana, which gained traction after premiering on Hot 97 in 2013 and helped propel him into the Coke Boys roster.[3] Over the next few years, he built a dedicated following through a series of mixtapes, including the Cocaine Riot series (volumes 1–5) and the EP I'll Take It From Here (2013), often collaborating with artists like Max B, Rick Ross, and Diddy.[3][5] Chinx's murder on May 17, 2015, while stopped at a red light in his Porsche, sparked widespread tributes from the hip-hop community, including from Jay-Z and Meek Mill.[2][6] Two suspects, Quincy Homere and Jamar Hill, were later arrested in connection with the killing, motivated by a long-standing grudge; Homere was sentenced to 23 years in prison in 2024.[7][8] Posthumously, his debut album Welcome to JFK was released in August 2015, followed by Legends Never Die in 2016 and additional projects like Chinx Drugz 6 in 2022, cementing his legacy as a promising voice in Queens hip-hop.[3][9] In 2025, on the 10th anniversary of his death, his family launched the Chinx Foundation to support anti-violence initiatives in his honor.[10]Early life
Childhood and family background
Lionel Du Fon Pickens, known professionally as Chinx, was born on December 4, 1983, in Queens, New York, and raised in the Far Rockaway neighborhood, a remote coastal area marked by socioeconomic challenges and public housing complexes. He spent his early years in the Redfern Houses and Edgemere Houses (later renamed Ocean Bay Apartments), environments characterized by isolation and limited opportunities, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean amid high-rises battered by wind.[11][12][13] Chinx's family background reflected the struggles of his upbringing; his mother, Veronica Clinton, worked as a clerk to support the household, while his biological father was largely absent and died when Chinx was a teenager. After his mother's remarriage to Harold Clinton, the family moved to Amityville, Long Island, where he attended Amityville High School. Raised primarily by his mother in these housing projects, Chinx navigated a youth influenced by street life, including an early involvement in narcotics sales that later inspired his stage name, Chinx Drugz. At age 15, in 1999, he faced significant legal trouble after participating in a robbery that escalated to attempted murder charges, during which he earned his GED while incarcerated.[12][14][15][16] His introduction to music came during junior high school, where he began freestyling rhymes casually at lunch tables with friends for entertainment. By ninth grade, however, Chinx committed more seriously to rapping, channeling earnings from street hustling into studio sessions to develop his sound and style. This period marked the transition from recreational activity to a determined pursuit, shaped by the harsh realities of Far Rockaway's hip-hop scene.[17][12]Initial involvement in music
Lionel Pickens, known professionally as Chinx, first engaged with music during his formative years in Far Rockaway, Queens, where the surrounding environment of poverty and street life shaped his artistic inclinations. Growing up amid hip-hop's cultural influence in New York City, he drew inspiration from pioneering artists such as 2Pac, N.W.A., Wu-Tang Clan, Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., and Nas, whose raw expressions of urban experiences resonated with his own realities. These figures encouraged Chinx to view music as a medium for authentic storytelling and personal outlet.[3] Chinx began rapping casually in junior high school, freestyling at lunch tables with friends as a form of recreation and camaraderie. This informal start allowed him to experiment with rhymes and flows without formal pressure. By ninth grade, however, he committed more deeply to the craft, recognizing its potential as a career path amid his challenging circumstances.[17] At around age 15, Chinx's passion intensified, leading him to write lyrics in his bedroom and seek out local recording studios to hone his skills. He invested earnings from street activities into studio sessions, focusing on developing a unique sound that blended Queens grit with broader hip-hop elements. This early dedication marked the transition from hobbyist to aspiring professional, laying the groundwork for his future endeavors in the local scene.[16][17]Career
Formation of Riot Squad and early mixtapes (2000–2010)
In the early 2000s, Lionel Pickens, performing under the stage name Chinx Drugz, co-founded the Rockaway Riot Squad (RRS) with fellow rappers Stack Bundles, Bynoe, and Cau2Gs in Far Rockaway, Queens. The group formed amid the neighborhood's burgeoning hip-hop scene, where the members—having grown up together and shared similar experiences of street life—united to create music that captured their local sound and struggles. They began recording tracks collaboratively, focusing on raw, energetic flows influenced by East Coast rap pioneers, though the crew did not achieve widespread commercial releases during this period.[18][19] The Riot Squad's momentum was halted in June 2005 when Chinx was sentenced to prison on drug and robbery charges, serving approximately three years until his release in October 2008. While incarcerated at Arthur Kill Correctional Facility, Chinx learned of the tragic murder of Stack Bundles in June 2007, an event that profoundly impacted him and reinforced his commitment to the group's legacy upon returning to music. The loss underscored the perils of their environment, yet it motivated Chinx to channel his experiences into his artistry.[20] Following his release, Chinx launched his solo career with the debut mixtape Hurry Up & Die Vol. 1: Get Ya Casket On on April 13, 2009, distributed through underground platforms and hosted by DJs like Bizkit and Lazy K. The project featured 20 tracks of aggressive, street-oriented rap, including standouts like "Stop Breathin," reflecting themes of survival and Queens grit, and it garnered attention in New York's mixtape circuit. Building on this, he released Hurry Up & Die Vol. 2: From the Cage to the Stage on January 7, 2010, which explored his post-prison transition with introspective lyrics over hard-hitting beats. Later that year, on April 13, 2010, Chinx dropped Hurry Up & Die Vol. 3, hosted by Its Bizkit and DJ Lazy K, further establishing his signature style of melodic hooks blended with raw narratives. These mixtapes, while not charting commercially, helped solidify Chinx's underground presence and honored the Riot Squad ethos through occasional crew references.[18]Affiliation with Coke Boys and breakthrough (2011–2012)
In 2011, Chinx, born Lionel Pickens, solidified his position within French Montana's Coke Boys collective, a group he had initially joined around 2009 following an introduction through Harlem rapper Max B after his release from prison.[21][22] The affiliation provided Chinx with greater visibility in the New York hip-hop scene, as he contributed to the Coke Boys' collaborative efforts, including appearances on the group's second mixtape, Coke Boys 2, released on August 19, 2011.[23] Tracks like "3 Kings" and "Money Bags," featuring Chinx alongside Montana and other affiliates such as Cheeze and Charlie Rock, showcased his gritty, street-oriented flow and helped elevate the collective's profile in the mixtape circuit.[24] That same year, Chinx achieved a personal milestone with the release of his mixtape Cocaine Riot on April 19, 2011, marking the start of his signature series produced under the Coke Boys banner.[25] The project, distributed via platforms like DatPiff, featured 18 tracks blending trap-influenced beats with Chinx's Queens-rooted lyricism, including collaborations with French Montana on songs like "Had It All." This release garnered attention for its raw energy and served as a breakthrough moment, establishing Chinx as a standalone artist within the group while aligning him closely with Montana's rising stardom. By mid-2011, Chinx's consistent features on Coke Boys projects and his solo output began to build a dedicated following in New York's underground rap community.[17] Building on this momentum into 2012, Chinx released Cocaine Riot 2 on July 3, 2012, expanding the series with 18 tracks that further honed his signature sound of hustler anthems and melodic hooks.[26] The mixtape included standout cuts like "What It Look Like," produced by Knalo Beatz, and reinforced his role in the Coke Boys by incorporating group aesthetics without overshadowing his individual style.[17] During this period, Chinx's affiliations led to high-profile remixes, such as his verse on the "Flexin' Hard" remix with French Montana and Jadakiss, which amplified his exposure on radio and online platforms. These efforts marked 2011–2012 as a pivotal breakthrough phase, transitioning Chinx from a supporting crew member to an emerging force in hip-hop, with his mixtapes accumulating significant streams and downloads on sites like LiveMixtapes.[27]Peak releases and collaborations (2013–2015)
In 2013, Chinx marked a significant escalation in his career with the release of Cocaine Riot 3 on April 15, a mixtape that showcased his growing prominence within the Coke Boys collective. The project featured high-profile collaborations, including French Montana, Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Diddy, Juicy J, Ace Hood, and Yo Gotti, blending trap beats with street narratives that highlighted Chinx's Queens-rooted lyricism.[28][29] This mixtape built on the momentum from prior installments, solidifying Chinx's role as a key affiliate in French Montana's orbit. Later that year, on November 26, Chinx dropped his debut EP I'll Take It from Here under his shortened moniker, executive produced by Rick Steel and distributed via iTunes, which included tracks like "Feelings" previewing his solo potential amid Coke Boys affiliations.[5][30] The following year, 2014, saw Chinx deepen his collaborative ties through French Montana's Coke Boys 4 mixtape, released on January 2, where he contributed verses alongside emerging talents like Lil Durk and established names such as Diddy and Jadakiss, emphasizing the crew's cohesive sound of luxury trap anthems.[31] On May 15, he followed with Cocaine Riot 4, continuing the series' annual tradition with features from French Montana and others, focusing on themes of ambition and street survival that resonated in the mid-2010s hip-hop landscape. A standout collaboration from this period was the remix of "I'm a Coke Boy" with French Montana in 2013, which gained traction for its infectious hook and propelled Chinx's visibility after premiering on Hot 97, followed by the 2013 single "Feelings" featuring Montana, produced by Harry Fraud and released as a digital single that underscored their mentor-protégé dynamic.[32] By late 2014 and into 2015, Chinx's output peaked with Cocaine Riot 5, released on December 25, 2014, featuring Jadakiss, French Montana, and Zaytoven production on tracks like "Point Blank," which captured his raw energy just months before his death. This mixtape exemplified his prolific streak, with 13 tracks blending solo cuts and features that highlighted his versatility in trap and melodic flows. His final major release, the posthumous debut studio album Welcome to JFK on August 14, 2015, via eOne Music, included collaborations with French Montana, Trey Songz, and Jeremih, serving as a capstone to his peak era with polished production and reflective lyrics on success and loss. The album debuted at number 21 on the Billboard 200, reflecting Chinx's enduring impact through these partnerships.[33][34][35]Personal life
Relationships and family
Chinx, born Lionel Du Fon Pickens, was the son of Veronica Clinton and Lionel Pickens, who passed away during Chinx's teenage years. His mother worked as a clerk, while his father maintained an inconsistent presence in his life. His mother later remarried Harold Clinton, and the family moved to Amityville, Long Island. Raised primarily in the Redfern and Edgemere Houses in Far Rockaway, Queens, after being born in Brooklyn on December 4, 1983, Chinx grew up in a challenging environment that influenced his early involvement in music and street life.[16][12] Chinx was married to Janelli Caceres, whom he wed in 2006 while in prison; she also served as his manager and remained a key figure in his professional and personal life. The couple resided in Queens, and Janelli was vocal about her grief following his death, expressing profound loss on social media and in interviews. She actively participated in posthumous projects, including appearing in music videos dedicated to him.[36][37][38] At the time of his murder in May 2015, Chinx was a father to three children, two of whom he had with his wife Janelli Caceres and one from a previous relationship, aged 15, 11, and 4. He also had an extramarital relationship with Patricija Muratovic, who was pregnant at the time of his death; she gave birth to their son, Liam, on July 28, 2015. Janelli supported the newborn's arrival, attending Muratovic's baby shower and publicly welcoming Liam into the family alongside Chinx's other children, emphasizing unity in the wake of tragedy. This brought Chinx's total number of children to four.[39][40][41][42]Legal issues and public persona
Prior to his music career gaining traction, Lionel Pickens, known professionally as Chinx, faced significant legal challenges stemming from criminal activities in his early adulthood. In 2003, he was arrested on a first-degree robbery charge in Suffolk County, New York.[43] This led to further charges related to robbery and drug possession, resulting in a prison sentence that began in June 2005 and lasted more than three years, until his release in October 2008.[20] During this period of incarceration, Pickens reflected on his experiences as a turning point, later channeling them into his lyrics about overcoming poverty, street life, and ambition.[44] No major legal entanglements were reported after his release, as he focused on music with the Riot Squad collective and later the Coke Boys imprint. Chinx cultivated a public persona rooted in authenticity and resilience, portraying himself as a product of Queens' Far Rockaway neighborhood who rose from incarceration and hardship to mainstream hip-hop success. His image was closely tied to his affiliation with French Montana's Coke Boys Records, where he embodied the label's flashy, triumphant aesthetic through tracks like "I'm a Coke Boy" (2012), which celebrated post-prison hustle and luxury.[3] Lyrics across his Cocaine Riot mixtape series often drew from personal chronicles of drug trade involvement, survival, and loyalty to his crew, blending gritty street narratives with club-ready anthems that appealed to both underground and commercial audiences.[3] He emphasized originality in interviews, avoiding direct comparisons to other artists while highlighting influences from 1990s icons like 2Pac, Wu-Tang Clan, and Nas.[3] Following his death in a 2015 drive-by shooting, Chinx's public image extended into posthumous discussions around his legacy and the responsibilities of his inner circle. A notable controversy arose over the funding of his funeral arrangements, with fans criticizing French Montana for not fully covering costs, leading to a GoFundMe campaign that raised over $9,600 for his wife and three children. Montana addressed the backlash on Instagram, affirming that "his funeral is taken care of" and urging positivity.[45] This incident underscored perceptions of Chinx as a devoted family man and loyal artist whose untimely death amplified debates on support within hip-hop's competitive ecosystem.[45]Death and legacy
The murder
On May 17, 2015, rapper Lionel Pickens, known professionally as Chinx, was fatally shot in a drive-by attack in the Briarwood neighborhood of Queens, New York.[46] The incident occurred just after 4 a.m. on Queens Boulevard near 84th Drive, where Chinx and his associate, Antar Alziadi, were traveling in a silver 2015 Porsche Panamera.[46][47] Chinx had recently performed at the Red Wolf nightclub in Brooklyn and was en route home when another vehicle pulled alongside theirs at a red light and opened fire through the driver's side window.[47] Chinx sustained at least eight gunshot wounds—possibly as many as 15—and managed to drive a short distance before pulling over in front of a Dunkin' Donuts, where he succumbed to his injuries at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center.[46][47] Alziadi, seated in the passenger side, was struck twice in the back, suffering a punctured lung, but survived after receiving treatment at the same hospital and was reported in stable condition.[46][47] Police recovered two 9-mm shell casings from the street and one from inside the Porsche, but no arrests were made at the scene, and the motive remained unclear in the immediate aftermath.[46] Chinx, aged 31 at the time, was a rising star in the hip-hop scene, affiliated with French Montana's Coke Boys Records.[46]Investigation, trial, and resolution
Following the drive-by shooting of Lionel "Chinx" Pickens on May 17, 2015, along Queens Boulevard in Briarwood, New York, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) launched an immediate investigation into the homicide. Officers responded to reports of gunfire and found Pickens and another individual wounded in a parked Porsche; Pickens succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital, while the second victim survived. Early leads explored potential connections to the 2007 unsolved murder of rapper Stack Bundles, a close associate of Pickens and fellow member of the Riot Squad collective, amid speculation of gang-related retaliation in the Queens rap scene.[48][49] The investigation, spanning over two years, involved surveillance footage, witness interviews, and cellphone data analysis, ultimately identifying a personal motive rather than broader gang ties. Authorities determined the killing stemmed from a six-year grudge originating in 2011, when suspect Jamar Hill was shot in the leg during a confrontation involving Pickens and Riot Squad members; Hill allegedly held Pickens responsible for the incident. On December 14, 2017, NYPD arrested Hill, then 26, and Quincy Homere, then 32, both from Long Island, charging them with second-degree murder, attempted murder, first-degree assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. Homere was identified as the shooter based on ballistic evidence linking the firearm to the crime scene, while Hill was accused of driving the getaway vehicle.[20][50][49] In April 2018, a Queens grand jury indicted both men on the charges, with each facing up to 25 years to life if convicted at trial. The case faced multiple delays, including procedural issues and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on court proceedings, extending pretrial detention for both suspects. By mid-2018, Hill entered plea negotiations but did not reach an agreement at that time. Homere remained in custody throughout, while Hill was later incarcerated separately on an unrelated weapons conviction.[51][52][53] The resolution came partially in 2024, when Homere, now 39, pleaded guilty on July 15 to first-degree manslaughter in a plea deal reducing the charges from second-degree murder. On August 12, Queens Supreme Court Justice Michael Hartofilis sentenced Homere to 23 years in prison, followed by five years of post-release supervision, crediting time served since his 2017 arrest. Pickens' family expressed dissatisfaction with the plea, advocating for a life sentence but acknowledging the closure after nearly a decade. As of November 2025, Hill's case remained pending, with ongoing discussions of a potential plea deal, though he continued serving time on his unrelated conviction; no further trial developments have been reported.[54][8][53]Posthumous impact and tributes
Following Chinx's death on May 17, 2015, his estate and collaborators released several posthumous projects to preserve his musical legacy. His debut studio album, Welcome to JFK, arrived on August 14, 2015, via eOne Music, featuring collaborations with artists such as French Montana, Jadakiss, and Jeremih; it debuted at No. 21 on the Billboard 200 chart, underscoring his enduring appeal within the hip-hop community.[55][56] Subsequent releases included the 14-track album Legends Never Die on August 5, 2016, with contributions from French Montana on the track "Legendary" and others like Movado and Chrisette Michele, emphasizing themes of perseverance and street narratives.[57] Later efforts, such as Chinx Drugz 6 in December 2022 featuring Benny the Butcher and Offset, and Cocaine Riot 7 in May 2023, continued to draw from his unreleased material, maintaining his association with the Coke Boys collective.[58][59] French Montana, Chinx's close collaborator and Coke Boys co-founder, has been instrumental in sustaining his influence, frequently honoring him through public tributes and integrated features in his own work. On the second anniversary of Chinx's passing in 2017, Montana shared reflective Instagram posts and performed songs like "Off the Rip," which prominently featured Chinx, to affirm their bond and Chinx's role in shaping the Coke Boys sound.[4] Montana completed and released additional posthumous material, including contributions to Coke Boys 5 in 2020, ensuring Chinx's verses reached audiences and perpetuated his gritty Queens lyricism.[60] These efforts highlight Chinx's lasting impact on Montana's career trajectory and the broader New York rap scene. Immediate tributes from the hip-hop world amplified Chinx's profile posthumously, with celebrities including Jay-Z, Khloé Kardashian, and French Montana expressing condolences and support via social media and public statements shortly after his death.[61] A Revolt TV documentary, Long Live Chinx, premiered in October 2015, chronicling his life as a family man and rising artist, while an emotional listening session for Welcome to JFK in July 2015 drew family, friends, and industry figures to celebrate his artistry.[62][63] On the 10th anniversary of his death, Chinx's family launched the Lionel D. Pickens Foundation on May 6, 2025, a nonprofit dedicated to youth mentorship, academic guidance, social-emotional development, and entrepreneurship programs in Far Rockaway and greater New York City, reflecting his roots and commitment to community upliftment.[10] The foundation, established by his mother Veronica Clinton and loved ones, provides scholarships and resources to underprivileged youth, extending Chinx's legacy beyond music into tangible social impact.[64]Discography

Mixtapes
Chinx began his music career releasing independent mixtapes under the moniker Chinx Drugz, drawing from his experiences in Queens, New York, and affiliations with local crews like the Rockaway Riot Squad. His early projects emphasized gritty street narratives and raw production, establishing a foundation before aligning with French Montana's Coke Boys collective. These initial releases garnered local buzz but limited mainstream attention until his involvement in collaborative efforts.[18] The Hurry Up & Die series marked Chinx's debut as a solo artist, showcasing his aggressive flow and themes of survival and hustling. Released between 2009 and 2010, the trilogy reflected his pre-Coke Boys era, with Vol. 1: Get Ya Casket On dropping in 2009 as a 15-track effort hosted by DJ Mighty K and DJ Lazy K, featuring tracks like "Stop Breathin'" produced by Doc. Vol. 2 followed in 2010, expanding on similar themes with features from emerging Coke Boys associates, while Vol. 3, released April 19, 2010, included collaborations such as "Tunnel Vision" with French Montana, signaling his growing ties to the label. The series totaled over 40 tracks across the volumes, prioritizing high-energy remixes and original beats to build underground momentum.[18][71][72] Upon joining Coke Boys in 2009, Chinx contributed to several group mixtapes, blending his style with French Montana's wavy sound and guest appearances from Maybach Music Group affiliates. Notable among these was Coke Boys Run NY (September 26, 2011), a joint project with Montana that highlighted their chemistry through 18 tracks of East Coast trap influences. Another key collaboration, The Jack Move (March 7, 2014), remixed popular hits like "OG Bobby Johnson" and "We Dem Boyz," featuring additional verses from artists including Young Thug and A$AP Ferg, and served as a creative pivot toward mainstream crossover appeal. These tapes, part of a broader Coke Boys run from 2010 to 2014, positioned Chinx as a core member, with his contributions appearing on five volumes in total.[73][74][18] Chinx's signature Cocaine Riot series, launched in 2011, became his most prolific and impactful body of work, embodying the high-stakes energy of his stage name and Coke Boys ethos. The inaugural Cocaine Riot (April 19, 2011) introduced the concept with 18 tracks hosted by Evil Empire, focusing on opulent street tales over trap beats. Cocaine Riot 2 (July 3, 2012) escalated with features from French Montana, Action Bronson, and Chevy Woods, delivering 18 cuts that emphasized melodic hooks and luxury motifs. The third installment (April 15, 2013), hosted by DJ Drama, featured Rick Ross, Jeremih, and Juicy J across 14 tracks, peaking at over 1 million DatPiff downloads and solidifying Chinx's rising profile. Cocaine Riot 4 (May 15, 2014) maintained the momentum with 12 concise tracks, including standout remixes and appearances by Jadakiss and Young Thug. The series culminated in Chinx's lifetime with Cocaine Riot 5 (December 25, 2014), a 14-track release boasting production from Zaytoven and features like French Montana and Trey Songz, which underscored his evolution toward polished trap anthems before his untimely death. Posthumously, the series continued with Cocaine Riot 7 (May 12, 2023), a 12-track release from his estate featuring French Montana on "Candy Rain" and other unreleased material, released ahead of the eighth anniversary of his death to honor his legacy. Collectively, the five volumes amassed millions of streams and downloads, influencing Coke Boys' sound and cementing Chinx's legacy in New York hip-hop.[75][76][77][29][78][79][80][81]| Title | Release Date | Type | Notable Features/Tracks |
