The story of Charles Monroe, Aka Snowball—a white boy who earned respect in Englewood and became a legend on 71st & Vincennes.
In this episode of HOOD EDITION, we break down the life, street reputation, family ties, and tragic journey of Tay City 071’s own Snowball. Raised in the Lafayette Plaza building (“The White Building”), Snowball wasn’t just an outsider hanging around—he was deeply rooted in the culture, adopted into a black family, and locked in with some of the biggest names in the Chiraq drill scene.
From being the brother of drill rapper Duke Da Beast to being taken under the wing of Chief Keef’s cousin Blood Money (Big Glo) from Glo Gang, and sharing family ties with S.Dot from 600, Snowball moved through multiple sets with green lights and respect.
Behind the clout and street status was a silent battle. After holding his little brother as he took his final breath, Snowball turned to the slow k*
*er to quiet the trauma. Even after surviving a near-fatal sh**ting—the real battle was happening inside his head.
In March 2022, at just 23 years old, Snowball passed away from an OD, joining a tragic list of Chicago figures like Fredo Santana and Juice WRLD who lost their lives to the slow ki**er.
