A man found dead in the trunk of a Birmingham car in Ensley has been identified as that of a popular Birmingham rapper.

The Jefferson County Coroner's Office on Tuesday identified the victim as Paul Matthew Carter. Carter, 32, is better known as Bam Bam Carter.

Carter's body was discovered in the early morning hours of Thursday, June 8. Birmingham police and firefighters responded at 3:22 a.m. to a report of a car on fire at 2033 Fayette Avenue. When Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service extinguished the blaze, they discovered the body in the trunk of what appears to be a four-door sedan, said Birmingham police Sgt. Bryan Shelton.

The car was off to the side in an alley, and so heavily damaged that investigators initially couldn't determine the make or model. Carter's body was also unrecognizable, and ultimately identified through dental records.

Those who knew Carter recognized his vehicle from news reports, and said he had not been seen since in the two days prior to the discovery of his body.

Carter's promotional video says this about him: "Bam Bam gives a real look at what's going on it the streets today. Hard lyrics with a message. Bam Bam gives back to his community and helps mentor the inner-city youth."

There goes our chance at unlocking the mysteries of Hadron Collider and most likely intrastellar space exploration. Bam-Bam's expose on how String Theory relates to time warp in space was truly captivating. A true loss to everyone!

Does that make him an "EXPIRING" rapper?

Everybody wants to be 'gangsta until it's time to be stuffed in a car trunk and set on fire.
