4:53 PM PT<\/strong> — Sources connected to Gangsta Boo tell TMZ … the rapper’s death appears to be drug-related. We’re told Gangsta was with her brother last night at a local concert in Memphis, and that her sibling started to overdose sometime in the night … requiring hospitalization.<\/p>

While he ended up being okay, our sources tell us that people familiar with Gangsta Boo’s death scene insist narcotics were found on her person and that a fentanyl-laced substance is believed to be at play. We’re told the police are launching an official investigation.<\/p>

An autopsy obviously needs to be done as well to see what the cause of death is.<\/p>

Lola Mitchell, AKA Gangsta Boo<\/strong> — a former member of Three 6 Mafia and a pioneer of female rap — has died.<\/p>

The hip hop star’s passing was confirmed by her former labelmate DJ Paul<\/strong><\/a> — who threw up a photo of her on IG<\/strong><\/a> … seemingly as a tribute. Several prominent artists commented with messages of condolences. The exact circumstances surrounding her death are unknown.<\/p>

Gangsta Boo’s career officially started in the ’90s, when she linked up with Paul, Juicy J<\/strong><\/a> and other founding members of the rap group — which included the likes of Lord Infamous<\/strong>, Crunchy Black<\/strong><\/a>, Koopsta Knicca<\/strong> and more. Gangsta Boo was one of the only female rappers with the crew, but she held her own and paved her own lane for years as part of T6M.<\/p>

In addition to her own solo albums that she was cranking out at the time — to much acclaim — Gangsta was also featured on Three 6 Mafia’s first 5 studio albums … including their debut record in ’95’s “Mystic Stylez” … as well as other notable projects like ‘Chapter 1,’ ‘When the Smoke Clears’ and even the ‘Choices’ album that served as the soundtrack to the movie.<\/p>
