Tragic, terrible news. One of the very few rappers, I can say with confidence, that showed me there was a completely new side to hip hop I wasn't aware of and that I was bound to love it. RIP

Took me a couple attempts before I really got into his music - my ear just wasn't quite tuned to for his style. Once it finally did click, though, I couldn't get enough. Definitely changed the way I listen to Hip Hop for the better.

RIP to a true legend in his own right.

RIP. Brownsville legend. Need to check more of his stuff. Just a month ago he was posting that at the east village meetup “records are $50 and daps and hugs are free”. Sucks

Legitimately one of the most unique rappers that was active in hip-hop. A really genuinely good dude, as well. Heartbroken to hear he passed.
