RIP BeatKing: Houston's 'Club God' Beats King of the Club

Houston, Texas — Yet another rapper bites the dust. Justin Riley, or "BeatKing" as he was known to his groupies, kicked the bucket Thursday at a ripe old age of 39. No one knows how he died, but I have my theories... probably something to do with all the "turn up" music he produced.

"He was a legend in the club scene," said one tearful fan, between shots of Fireball. "His basslines were heavier than my student loan debt."

BeatKing, or should I say, BeatenDown, made a name for himself in the early 2010s by blaring his way into the Houston Hip-Hop scene. With classic albums like "King of the Club" and "Gangsta Stripper Music" (real class act, this guy), he quickly became the life of every party he went to. I mean, who doesn't want to listen to that genius collaboration he did with Travis Scott on "Astroworld" while they're throwing back tequila shots and dry heaving in the bathroom?

"I loved his bold lyrics," gushed a female fan, her fake eyelashes fluttered. "They really spoke to my soul. Or maybe it was the bass. Either way, he got me through my last break-up. Or was it the vodka? Doesn't matter, RIP king!"

Yeah, real touching. This ladies man collaborated with the cream of the crop too: Ludacris, Juicy J, DJ Chose, Paul Wall... Slim Thug? Never heard of 'em. Project Pat, though, now there's a legend. Almost as legendary as the amount of booty you'd see at one of BeatKing's concerts.

His latest album, "She Won't Leave Houston", dropped last July. Well, she might leave now that the "Club God" is gone.

Fellow Musicians Mourn

Oh, and of course, the tears were flowing on social media. 2 Chainz, Bun B, and other "grieving" artists took to Instagram to mourn the loss of their fellow rapper:
