New Orleans hip-hop community mourns producer who drowned while tubing
Relatives and members of New Orleans close-knit underground hip-hop scene are mourning the loss of a prolific producer, MC and father.

New Orleans, LA – Relatives and members of New Orleans underground hip-hop community are mourning the loss of a producer, rapper and father Phillip “Philly Beamin” White.
Phillip “Philly Beamin” White passes away
Police say Phillip “Philly Beamin” White Jr., 26, of New Orleans, drowned while tubing on the Amite River in Livingston Parish on Sunday afternoon (June 22).
White’s roommate, Joshua “Fee” Brantley, 26, also drowned, friends say, while trying to help White. Neither could swim.
Authorities say White and Brantley were tubing with a group of about 10 friends and the water was rough with a strong current.
White and Brantley disappeared in 8 to 10 feet of water. Friends tried to find the two but without success.
White was well-known in the New Orleans music scene as a producer and rapper with an old-school style his manager says.
Although he had a reputation in the hip hop scene, friends say White’s greatest achievement was being a father to his 6-year-old son, Jaiden.
In addition to his son, White is survived by his parents, Phillip and Annette White and his brother, Derron White.
