Rudy "Kato" Rangel Jr. (23 November 1972 – 4 June 2003, NY) was a high-ranking member of the Chicago Latin Kings Trumbull 25th St. street gang. Upon his death, hip-hop artist DMX recorded the song A-Yo Kato (released on the 2003 album Grand Champ) as a tribute to him.
As stated on dmxworld.com, DMX said: “I went to Chicago because Chicago was the hood. When I thought about the ghetto, I thought about Chicago. I hadn’t been there in a while. So I said, let me go out there. I met my man Kato out there, rest in peace. You know.”
”First, he was a friend to me. You know what I’m saying. He was a friend to my family. His wife, my wife, friends. He was a husband, father, and CEO of Denaro Records, a record label out of Chicago that just signed a couple of artists and secured a deal. That was my dawg. Dawgs for life. Kato, rest in peace.”
