Yolanda ‘Lala’ Brown, 21, best known for singing with Lyfe Jennings on the song, “S.E.X” was found murdered alongside her boyfriend in Milwalkee on Friday. I got a lot of emails about this yesterday but finally found a valid link.
A familiar voice to Milwaukee R & B fans has been silenced. Twenty-one year old Yolanda “La La” Brown and her producer, 22-year-old JeTannue Clayborn, were found dead in their recording studio Friday night.
Milwaukee police say both were found in the Loud Enuff Productionz studio at 55th and Lisbon. Both had gunshot wounds and had been dead at least a day before being discovered. They were reportedly dating.
JeTannue’s mother, Dina Chambers, describes him as energetic, with an eye toward making music his career. “He loved music. He loved people. He was very kind. They called him “Koo Laid” because every time you saw him, he was smiling.” [SOURCE]
According to one CL reader she was survived by a daughter. Horrible news. For the Lyfe Jennings video, please check after the jump.
A MESSAGE FROM LALA’S UNCLE ROBERT
This is La La’s uncle. On behalf of the family we thank you for your support. Although we are sad that she is not with us we will celebrate her life. She has touched the world with her God given talent.
Please, stop the killing. Stop it now. Money, hate, there are no reasons to take another life. Hug your child and tell them it’s not ok to kill. We will raise her daughter and celebrate La La’s life. -Robert

Also she has a daughter. I mean who does ish like this. RIP to her boyfriend also. Hopefully they find who ever did this. And they go to jail for a long time…

So sad.
wtf! damn yo! thats fucked up!
wow this is so crazy. im speechless
That shit pissed me off! What a senseless act of violence. I hope they find the person who done this anfd give them life without parole. If they was going to rob them then they shouldve just rob them and left them be, but to actually kill them? WTF!!!! I bet you they probably knew who it was. I’m looking forward to hearing this story as it unfold. My condolences goes out to both families.
They are just stupid who would do such a thing when I find out I am going to beat/kill them myself because she was an innocent girl that was telling girls about giving their body up to fast moving boys.
Dag, RIP sista.

RIP Lala, she is so pretty such a shame =[

RIP!!!! Lala Brown and JeTannue Clayborn
damn. so young! what a tragedy.
rest and peace and blessings to the family.
This is very sad! My condolonces go out to both families. It really hits close to home for me because she was the same age I am. I have seen so many people pass between this year and last year that I was close to, I dont even feel nuthin any more i’m just numb. That’s why I try to live everyday to the fullest.
Oh wow..rest in peace. That’s sad man.
Damn, she barely lived her life. [R.I.P]
RIP Lala and JeTannue. Unbelievably tragic to see two people with their whole lives and careers ahead of them, only to be taken away from them. My deepest condolences to their family and friends. Such a painful thought to know that a daughter’s gonna grow up without her mother. She’ll be in my prayers as well as everyone else.
I hope the vile filth who did this disgusting crime are brought to justice and locked up forever.
Thats CRAZY man r.i.p I cant even watch the whole music vid without gettin teary eyed. THE SONG WAS SO REAL! I’m glad she hopefully touched peoples lives through the song before she passed, the song had a true message unlike all this other mainstream garbage. I’m so proud of babygirl, she did well anyways although her life was cut short.
And I’m not forget her boyfriend JeTannue r.i.p because you were loved to, i know It.
No one should have the power to take another’s life, whether it be a celebrity or a person in poverty, everyone deserves to live their life to the fullest, you never know what future they may have. WARPED MINDS I swear it sickens me all the time.
WOW still no RIP Comments on her Page….
Omg……… lord thank u for carryin us thus far and i pray you’ll continue to do so. Amen, Condolences to their families

Damn I hate to hear that!
RIP!
man this is so shocking even though i dont know them.
very crazy story.. feel sorry for them.
This is so unfortunate and sad why would the person do this to them? I want to know what happened and why it happened and I hope the families get justice for who did this to Lala and JeTannue because this is just sad. Her career was just starting to blossom but at least she left a positive song behind that leaves a good message for our young girls now. Much respect and love to both families in this tragedy and my prayers will be with you. Oh and to all the people who lost loved ones in the struggle keep your heads up and just know that they are with you and in a better place. Respect and Love. One.
I just checked her myspace page and no one even knows what happened. I am sad for her family right now!
I hate reading about murders, It sickens me how people can just go and kill someone without any remorse or care. As if humans are disposible(sp) or something. It’s not fair to the victims or their families. That’s why I’m going to law school, because murderers, robbers, and losers make me sick. RIP Lala Brown and Kool Aid
Damn! I live in Milwaukee and hadn’t heard anything about this! (I never watch the local news). i wonder if it had anything to do with a shooting at Questions nightclub (a frequent hangout of the younger set including up and coming singers). R.I.P to both of them.
The reason why there aren’t any comments on her page is because she probably has her comments set to be approved by her.
horrible and tragic………my prayers go out to both families and the killer.
RIP This is just soooo sad.
My condolences to the family of LaLa and JeTaunne.
This is so sad. I can’t believe how anyone could feel as though they have the right to play GOD and take anyone’s life. She was very talented, a couple years ago when Lyfe Jennings and Lala Brown came out with the song I love her verse. She was a gifted singer who had to be taken away by a heartless punk who felt as though they had to pick up a gun and take someone elses life. Who ever did it I hope you see this because your a waste of life and a piece of SH**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone on Concreteloop.com make sure you tell your loved ones how much you love them because you never know if you will be able to say goodbye. ONE LOVE.
This is extremely sad. My prayers and condolenses goes out to families of LaLa and her boyfriend, JeTannue.
GOD BLESS!
