Nettspend honored BloodHound Q50 with “LL50,” a memorial track released on his six-song EP Virginia Creeper, following an earlier preview at Miami’s III Points festival.
The CXO-produced song is “a tribute to Nettspend’s late friend and peer BloodHound Q50 that doubles as an ode to living life to the fullest.”
The 19-year-old rapper introduced “LL50” during his III Points appearance earlier in October and played it twice, according to the label.
The EP took its name from a vine native to Virginia, Nettspend’s home state. CXO was joined on the project’s production credits by zoot, zuro, exset, 1Deep and Che.
Before the EP, Nettspend had also linked with Che on “KickAss (Pull Up Pls)” and joined producer Evilgiane’s Boiler Room set in Los Angeles in September.
Q50, whose real name was Mikquale Cooper, was killed in Chicago on September 13. His death came more than a month before Nettspend released the tribute.
Chicago police said Q50 was in a vehicle outside a BP gas station at 4248 South Wentworth Avenue just before 4 A.M. when two other vehicles arrived and people opened fire, FOX 32 Chicago reported.
The Chicago rapper had begun making music in 2023. His early records included “Big3” and “Coffin,” and he signed with Signal Records in late 2024. He also performed at Rolling Loud in May 2026.
AllHipHop previously reported that an autopsy documented five gunshot wounds. Q50’s funeral took place September 25 in Merrillville, Indiana, where several police forces were present.
For Nettspend, the dedication followed another recent release that his label presented as a more vulnerable turn. His August 25 single “Sober” was produced by reklus1ve.
The black-and-white “Sober” video featured Nettspend’s mother and fellow rapper OsamaSon. The release preceded Virginia Creeper, which arrived later that year, along with his March debut album, early life crisis.
That 21-song debut included NBA YoungBoy and OsamaSon. The label described its subject matter as the pressures and anxiety of young adulthood, providing context for the more personal material Nettspend released ahead of “LL50.”
