Koopsta Knicca dead at 40 2015-10-09 by Kusuriuri | 8 Comments | Robert Cooper Phillips, A.K.A. Koopsta Knicca, most famously known as a member of Memphis hip hop collectives Three 6 Mafia and Da Mafia 6ix, passed away on October 9th following a severe stroke. The news was shared to us by DJ Paul on his twitter account on a tweet stating "Yall Back Together Brothers", referring to Phillips and his former band mate Ricky Dunigan (Lord Infamous).
Juicy J and Gangsta Boo both shared their grievances on their respective twitter accounts, while DJ Paul released a full statement following his passing:
"My group member and brother for over 20 years, Robert "Koopsta Knicca" Phillips passed away today at 12:55 am CST from a major stroke he had sunday after showering. He went in peace. Me and Koop had just started writing his new album Devil's Playground 2, the second part to his famous solo album that I produced, but we didnt get a chance to record yet. We had concerts coming up starting next month too. He also just got a home in Vegas that he was moving to on Tuesday, but never got to even see it in person. Everyone who knew Koop knew he was very funny and the coolest guy ever! He will be missed!!! We made classics together that'll live on!!! Mafia 4 Life!!!!"
