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.
Pimp C wouldve been 41 yesterdsay, here’s a couple videos to keep his memory going. 1st is a video of his homies telling stories and remembering him for his life. The 2nd video is an hour and half of footage from a DVD Pimp C put out with Pimpin’ Ken. Check it out, Pimp C fans won’t be disappointed.
R.I.P. Kevlaar 7
In some sad news it seems that Kevlaar 7 has passed away. Probably best known for being a Wu-Tang affiliate MC/Producer with his Brother Bronze Nazareth in the group The Wisemen. I guess Kevlaar had a rare blood disorder of some sort and died from complications from that. It’s a damn shame when talented folks go too soon. Our condolences to Kevlaar and his fam, friends and fans.

Lau Kar-lueng was the best, an amazing martial artist, director, choreographer and actor. If you don’t know of him he directed the classic The 36th Chamber of Shaolin with Gordon Liu, He also directed Drunken Master II. Not only was he an awesome director but he also created the unforgettable sword to one of my favorite movies “The One Armed Swordsman” which he also choreographed, along with another one of my favorites “Jade Bow” and “Master of The Flying Guillotine”.
Kung Fu films wont be the same.
