Trentavious Zamon White (August 2, 1987 – March 4, 2016), better known by his stage name Bankroll Fresh (or Yung Fresh), was an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. He is best known for posthumous guest appearance on fellow Atlanta rapper Jeezy's 2016 single "All There," which received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Prior, he garnered local attention for his 2015 single "Walked In" (featuring Street Money Boochie and Travis Porter).[1] Also posthumously, he starred in the independent short film Take Over Your Trap in 2016.

Career

White originally rapped under the alias Yung Fresh, and under this alias appeared alongside Gucci Mane on multiple records.[2] In 2014, Fresh collaborated with Mike Will Made It, on the song "Screen Door". Fresh later also made a guest appearance on song "For the Love", which appeared on Metro Boomin's 2013 mixtape 19 & Boomin.[3] Fresh had a hit of his own with the 2014 single "Hot Boy", and the same year, he released the mixtape Life of a Hot Boy.[2][4] In 2015, Fresh released Life of a Hot Boy 2,[2] and later that year, Fresh followed it up with a self-titled mixtape.[5] In February 2016, he released a video for his song "Poppin' Shit".[6] Fresh was also featured on Jeezy's hit "All There". The music video was released posthumously. Jeezy dedicated it to Fresh, filming the video in his hood with Fresh's family.

Death

After an altercation with childhood friend Atlanta rapper No Plug, Fresh was shot at Street Execs studio and later died at

Left Brain and Plies, along with his two children, mourned the death of the rapper.[7]

Post Malone mentioned and paid tribute to Bankroll on his song, "Money Made Me Do It," featuring 2 Chainz, on his debut album, Stoney, released at the end of the year. Juice Wrld referenced Bankroll as well in a version of one of his songs from his album Death Race for Love, "Out My Way". Green Gartside of Scritti Politti has also wrote a song dedicated to the rapper, titled Trentavious White and introduced it as part of his 2021 touring setlist. No Plug later said in an online interview that he shot in self-defense; he was not charged or called a suspect.[11] The investigation of Fresh's death was closed in June, 2018 after authorities stated that Fresh fired the first rounds with an SKS-style firearm at the vehicle of No Plug and his entourage outside of the Street Execs studio, saying that the returning gunfire from No Plug's passengers – which hit Fresh – was an act of self-defense.[12]
