Remembering Hue Hef on His Heavenly Birthday
Today, we pause to honor the life and legacy of Hue Hef — affectionately known as Huey — on what would have been his birthday. A proud son of St. Louis, Huey made his mark in music and culture with his 2006 hit Pop, Lock & Drop It, a track that not only climbed the charts but also became a lasting anthem of a generation.
Huey’s influence went beyond music. He was celebrated in his community as a local legend who carried St. Louis with him everywhere he went. His energy, charisma, and love for his city were reflected in his work and in the way he connected with fans.
Tragically, Huey’s life was cut short in June 2020 when he was fatally shot in Kinloch, Missouri, at just 32 years old. His death shocked the hip-hop world and left St. Louis mourning the loss of one of its own.
Though his time here was brief, Hue Hef’s impact remains powerful. His music still plays at parties, in cars, and through headphones, keeping his memory alive. On his heavenly birthday, we celebrate not just his artistry, but the joy and pride he brought to his community.
