I remember reading an article about him in Peace magazine around 1996. (The same peace magazine that had the coveted Biggie interview where he dissed several rappers by name. It was a free Canadian urban magazine you'd get at record stores. I think the early issues were newspaper print. If anyone remembers that from Toronto, you know the deal. Same magazine may not have been the Biggie issue tho)

Photo and everything whole article saying how he was a battle champ.

Get screened earlty, early for prostate/colon cancer cause if screh had been screened at 30 he would likely be alive today.

I remember him around the Canadian rap scene. He also had a cameo in this movie Narc, with Ray Liotta, shot in Toronto that I loved

I think the initial reports were wrong.

The Toronto Star reports his age at 46.

My whole Facebook feed is my homies mourning him. A lot of my people were super tight with him. Some were like brothers. He was cool AF. Always kept it anytime we hung out. RIP.
