Kansas City Murder Factory

In February I wrote about the murder of my acquaintance Sliccs Gotcha. Since then two more Kansas City-area rappers- Mo' Kash and JP Tha Mex- have been killed. The loss of a hip hop artist, of course, is no more significant than the death of any other human being. And at least eighty people have been murdered in Kansas City, Missouri, so far this year. So when I discovered the trailer for Ben Meade's new film Kansas City Murder Factory today (via Tony's Kansas City), it really hit home.
