People are still trying to unpack and deal with the life of Aaron Hernandez, who committed suicide last month. From the details about his death to questions about his sexuality to what happens to his legal troubles now, it looks like we're far from closing the book on Aaron's life, and today, a new—albeit less impactful—piece of information has emerged regarding his prison life: his many prison nicknames.

According to TMZ, unspecified "prison documents" indicate that Hernandez was known by a plethora of alternative tags. Some make sense: "A Money," "Double A," and "AA" (we'd assume because of the A's in Aaron), and "Big Nose" (ouch), but others don't seem to have any real meaning outside of the squad of inmates he lived with: "Boom," Rokk Boy," "Chico," and "Can't Get Right." The HE HATE ME aspect of it aside, that last one might be most telling, and troubling, considering how Hernandez's life rose and fell.

Also included in the documents were some tracks from Aaron Hernandez's playlist, which essentially ran down some of the biggest hits from Rihanna ("Selfish Girl," "Unfaithful"), Drake ("U With Me?," "With You"), and the Weeknd ("Earned It," "False Alarm").

Glean from this information what you will, but without context, these are just more tiny nuggets of information that don't begin to truly help us understand who Aaron Hernandez truly was.
