Long Live Lil Snupe: Remembering the young dynamo with Denesha ‘Mama Snupe’ Chester

There is no greater emotional pain you can experience than that of a parent burying their own child. What makes it even more painful, is for a parent to see their child reverse their field and go from negative to positive and with a great future ahead of them. This is the pain of Denesha “Mama Snupe” Chester, who lost her son known as Lil Snupe, 7 days after his 18th birthday.

Lil Snupe is a story that SHOULD be told over and over again. Why? Because it’s a story of a youngster living the life and pulling himself out of the hole to take advantage of his natural ability only to have his life snuffed out as a victim of senseless violence. By telling his story, perhaps, just perhaps, we can motivate other young people to embrace even the smallest chance to make it out from the hole many of us are born into.

Lil Snupe hailed from the Louisiana and was a protege of Meek Mill whose pride and amazement at the youngster’s “off tha dome” skillz had the entertainment world ravenously awaiting the budding superstar’s full length project under the Dream Chaser’s imprint.

As a parent, I wish all of our children as much success as they can have and my “Live Session” with Denesha “Mama Snupe” Chester, was the hardest thing I had to do in 2014. Listen to her tell us about her son and the changes she was blessed to witness as her son came to some life changing decisions that gave him a legitimate shot at making it!!!

We also got some time from Lil Snupe’s mentor and hometown inspiration C’NYLE who gave us his impressions of Lil Snupe and what it was like to work with and be amazed by this young dynamo. Check out his interview here.
