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.

His death may not be in vain, may it lead to lowering colon cancer screening for males.

I think the initial reports were wrong.

The Toronto Star reports his age at 46.

Bishop Brigante, who died of colorectal cancer, helped put Toronto's hip-hop scene on the map.

Last year, he told CBC that his colon cancer symptoms were originally misdiagnosed as hemorrhoids or irritable bowel syndrome. After his cancer was properly diagnosed in 2023, Brigante organized a campaign urging the Ontario government to lower the minimum age for colonoscopy screening from 50 to 30.

Yeah, this situation sucks. But it's great he pushed for health and screening.

And from your other post I remember the Section 6 audio logo.

I can't remember where I kept hearing it. I think public access t.v had a whole segment showcasing him and Section six.
