Huey: Rapper Bio Lawrence Franks Jr. — born December 31, 1987, in Kinloch, Missouri, near St. Louis — had one enormous hit and a very short career. Known as Huey, he released Pop Lock and Drop It in 2006, a song so perfectly calibrated for its moment that it reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a mandatory fixture at every school dance and club night for the following year. He was murdered in Kinloch on June 25, 2020, at age 31. Early Life Growing up in Kinloc
