Why is Keak Da Sneak in a wheelchair?
Over the years, Keak Da Sneak, real name Charles Kente Williams, has been involved in multiple shootings.
In 2017 alone, he was shot on two separate occasions, one of which caused him to become paralyzed.
On August 21, 2017, he was shot eight times at a Richmond gas station, according to CBS News.
At this time, it is not known if Keak will ever walk again, but the star believes that he will.
“This chair is going out the door, so my fans can look forward to me walking,” he, via CBS News. “I need a lot of support.”
When did Super Hyphy come out?
One of Keak’s most famous songs is Super Hyphy.
The song was featured on his album, That’s My Word, and reached No. 40 on the Billboard Rhythmic Top 40 chart.

It was released in 2005 and produced by Traxamillion, a well-known hip-hop producer from the Bay Area who tragically passed away on January 2, 2022, at the age of 42 after battling a rare form of cancer.
What is Hyphy Culture?
The reason why Keak’s song Super Hyphy was so popular was because it introduced rap fans to a new genre.
Hyphy (pronounced Hi-fee) is a “genre of rap and lifestyle associated with Bay Area hip hop culture,” according to an ethnic studies review that was published by California State University.
At first, Hyphy was used as a slang term, but thanks to the help of producers like Traxamillion and artists like Keak, it became a social movement.
