Derek McAllister Jr. (November 6, 1994 – March 6, 2014), known professionally as Speaker Knockerz, was an American rapper and record producer. Raised in Columbia, South Carolina, he began his music career as a producer, teaching himself and selling instrumentals while still a teenager. In the early 2010s, Speaker Knockerz began rapping and releasing mixtapes. Active during the rise of internet-based hip-hop and gaining attention through self-released music and online promotion, his music gained wider attention in 2013 with the release of the song "Lonely," which spread widely on social media. On March 6, 2014, Speaker Knockerz was found dead in his garage at his home in South Carolina. Authorities reported no signs of foul play, and his death was later believed to have been caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. He was 19 years old. Following his death, his work has since been cited by later artists as influential within early 2010s internet-era hip-hop and influential in the melodically-driven state of modern rap.
