A little-known rapper with Murder Inc. records died early Friday after being shot on a Queens street, police said.
D.O. Cannon, 26, whose real name was Gerard Fields, was shot twice in the chest and once in the leg at about 11:45 p.m. Thursday in the Hollis section. He was taken to Mary Immaculate Hospital, where he died shortly after midnight.

No arrests were made.

The Murder Inc. Web site says Fields “was raised and struggled in the streets of poverty” after losing his mother at age 11.

The hip hop label is home to multiplatinum artists Ashanti and Ja Rule. A call to its Manhattan headquarters was not immediately returned.
