In wake of Pop Smoke's death in Los Angeles early Wednesday morning, LA rapper Blueface used this as a lesson to artists from outside of Los Angeles. Via Instagram, he urged artists from out of town to be sure to get in touch with the "right natives" before moving around the city.  

"People think Cali/LA is beautiful sunny palm trees," wrote Blueface, "n****s die here every single day I recommend artists coming this way get in touch with the right natives just to keep you up on speed soon as you relax an think it's cool this way that's when they strike."

Blueface was sure not to characterize this as "checking-in" but rather precautionary steps one needs to take in order to protect themselves while in Los Angeles and/or any other city.
