Atlanta Strip Clubs: Prosecutor: Killing of rapper callous, calculated

A defense attorney later countered that the shooting by defendant Aubrey Louis Berry was an act of self-defense after he was threatened by rapper Roderick Anthony Burton II, known as Dolla.
The conflicting accounts came during opening statements in the latest trial involving the death of a rapper.
Burton, 21, was considered a protege of Akon and had released two songs with the hip-hop star. He was touring and working on his first studio album at the time of his death.
Burton joined a growing list of slain rappers, including Tupac Shakur in 1996, the Notorious B.I.G. in 1997, Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC in 2002 and Deshaun “Proof” Holton in 2006.
Authorities said bad blood developed between Burton and Berry nearly two weeks earlier, when they scuffled in a strip club in Atlanta, where both lived.
