Mesiah Mitchell, a musician, pauses for a moment while filming a music video alongside David Lawrence (in white) at the birthday party for Richard Collinge III at the French Quarter nightclub in Rochester, N.Y., on April 26, 2023. Rap musicians often express their sorrow for a friend through their music. The rapper Diddy’s famous song, often played at funerals, "I’ll Be Missing You," is a tribute to his friend, the famous rapper, The Notorious B.I.G., who was shot and killed in 1997.
