Zeethewizard, an up-and-coming Dallas rapper, has died \u2013 days after he was shot outside a club in the Stemmons Corridor, police officials said Monday. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe did a song, and I was just impressed by him,\u201d Peters said. \u201cHe could have just took his money and left, but he stayed for hours and hours at the video shoot. He rapped my part word-for-word. And it just let me know he was a different kind of guy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was passionate about his career, and people who supported his career.\u201d<\/p>\n
