It’s hard to not think about Lord Sear when I think about my relationship with hiphop. Listening to him on the CM FAMALAM show on cassette tapes in the early days, to listening to him on Shade 45 many years later. Lord Sear is a big influence on me and The HipHopHeads Podcast, this is undeniable. I’ll miss hearing Lord Sear crack jokes, play great music, and freestyle. Salute, Lord Sear condolences to his friends, family, and colleagues. Ayoooooooooo!
If you’re not from the city of Boston the name Joseph Sater may not ring a bell. But for those of whom are from here, went to college here, or visited for sometime, than more than likely you visited Boston most legendary music venue The Middle East Night Club in Cambridge. If you’ve followed me or my site for any amount of time then you’ve probably seen more than one performance from this venue as I’ve filmed there dozens upon dozens of time. Joseph Sater was responsible for all that as the Co-founder of the legendary venue on Mass Ave.
His vision has produced thousands of shows and legendary performances in the city going back nearly 50 years. He helped create scenes of music of all genres for the city and you could see it all under this roof and get a great meal on top of it.
R.I.P. Joseph Sater.
RIP to Dallas Penn. I was just interacting with him the other day. Can’t believe it. Condolences to his fam and friends. Hope he’s cracking jokes with Sean Price and Combat Jack.
Just got word that acclaimed Boston Rapper Jefe Replay has passed away. He first came in to prominence 5 to 6 years ago with his tracks “Sips Tea” and “Stay Ugly”. Hailing from Orchard Park in Roxbury this will be a hard hit for the community. He was on the rise and made some solid modern music.
Posted a couple joints here, if you’re in to it run them numbers up.
R.I.P. JEFE REPLAY
Double K of People Under The Stairs has reportedly passed away. Details are minimal at this point but he’s survived by his wife and was only 43 years old. They will get bumped today. R.I.P.
Stezo had it all, the look, the moves, the style, and he could spit. Put that up with an ear for funky beats and you have a recipe for greatness. To The Max, Bring The Horns, Freak the Funk, Girl Trouble and Gets Into His Move are fire and really standout to me. Hell, Crazy Mouse is just a fantastic album all around if you’re not up on it, look it up and take a listen to greatness. Say what’s up to Paul C for us.
R.I.P. STEZO
This was done about a month ago, very deep shit by the young God. Peace brother see you at the gates someday R.I.P.
Bay Area legend The Jacka was murdered the other night, very sad time for The Bay Area seems like they lose more rappers than any other region.
Philly hip-hop legend Cool C probably best known for his beef with the Juice Crew or being a partner in crime with rap brethren Steady B is being sentenced to death tomorrow. If you don’t know the story Steady B and Cool C robbed a bank in 96 which went way wrong. Steady B was the getaway driver and they did get away but not before a silent alarm was tripped and the police showed up. Cool C in a not so cool move shot the officer that responded a female officer mind you and killed her. Steady B is serving a life sentence for the crime, Cool C being the trigger man was sentenced to death… 19 years later Cool C’s time has come and he must pay for the crime he committed. Cool C and Steady B’s legacy to Philly hiphop is undeniable but sadly their actions has tarnished the great music they made.
R.I.P. Cool C.
