R.I.P. Joseph Sater

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.

R.I.P. Warcloud aka Holocaust

Just got some terrible news that the brother Warcloud aka Holocaust passed away. I was told he died in police custody which is a tragic end to his story. He was truly a gifted and unique MC as well as individual. He is probably best known for his legendary verse on the Bobby Digital album. They even named the track after him “Holocaust”. He had a slew of other solid underground releases that I’d suggest you check out. I was lucky enough to meet him one time and get this flick on the streets of Boston.

RIP Warcloud

R.I.P. FATMAN SCOOP

Fatman scoop collapsed on stage last night at a concert. Instead of his homies performing cpr or rushing to get medical attention they went into his booth while he was down and pressed play to keep the music going… Later he was rushed to the hospital, this morning I got word he didn’t make it. There’s videos going around online of his last moments. It’s tragic. Fatman scoop had love for the underground and was famously featured on GRIMM / DOOM SPECIAL HERBS AND SPICES. RIP TO SCOOP AND CONDOLENCES TO HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

R.I.P. CHINO XL

Can’t believe I just had to write that headline. It’s with a heavy heart that I inform you, our readers, that Chino XL has passed. I don’t have any details and I won’t speculate anything but this freaking sucks. Chino was a cat that every MC respected. He first got signed by Rick Rubin when he was just 16. He dropped his 1st album to critical acclaim in 1996 his final album was just last year with friend of the site Stu Bangas. Just a tragic loss. He had an incredible career not only with hiphop but acting as well. Big loss RIP and my condolences to his friends and fam.

R.I.P. Spiega of Monsta Island Czars

It’s with great sadness that I learned today of Spiega’s passing. A longtime member of the acclaimed and elusive Monsta Island Czars crew. Spiega was an extremely talented and raw MC and he will be missed greatly. I helped push a solo album of his years ago via the site and I’ll try and get that up later today so his memory will live on through his music.

Hi my name is Dawn St. Clair and my best friend and children’s father died suddenly November 10 from a bicycle accident. He left behind 2 beautiful boys aged 22 and 15, and a whole host of friends and family who loved him. We need help to give him a beautiful service dedicated to his memory. Any help would be appreciated

There’s a gofundme I’m posting below if you can please donate.

R.I.P. PAT STAY

Man, it’s with great sadness that I announce the death of Pat Stay. The other day he dropped a diss track baiting The Game to battle. I put Bonafide and The Supervisor on to Pat via the diss and they started diving in to his battles. No more than 24 hours after that Pat was gone. When the news broke, I honestly didnt believe it. I truly thought it was a rues, an attempt to bait The Game or a Game fan starting an internet rumor that would be quickly douced. That was not the case. Confirmations quickly started to come out and people were broken.

Pat Stay is a legend in the battle rap community, arguably one of the greatest. He was a KOTD champion and held the title for two years. He invented the complimentary style. From what I hear he was a incredibly stand up guy, did a ton for the battle community and young battlers coming up, looking to make a name for themselves. Perhaps his selflessness can proven by his passing, as the rumor is Pat was at a wedding party when a fight broke out, Pat tried to break it up, in the melee Pat was stabbed, ambulance was called and Pat was rushed to the hospital where he passed.

Pat Stay was larger than life, physically and verbally. His battles will go down in history as some of the greatest, he will be remembered as a innovator and one of the funniest dudes on the mic in the ring.

Pat Stay forever Rest in Power. Condolences to his friends and family. Feel free to contribute to Pat Stays memorial fund below.

R.I.P. MF DOOM

It’s with great sadness I write that the incredible MF DOOM has passed away. His wife reported that the veteran MC passed on Halloween. This is devastating. And I assume it’s hitting you like it is me. We’ve been covering doom since the start of this site in 2003. I put so many people on to DOOM through this site had people reach out to me and tell me how much he inspired them. He was truly unique and will forever be missed. He’s raps Mozart.
