RIP Pumpkinhead (PH)

[Poetical Poltergeist]

His verse on this.

I'll untwist your cornrows with a cross bow and toss your lost soul to the cross roads.

Dude was dope. All that Brooklyn academy shyt was dope.

I picked up Orange Moon Over Brooklyn when it dropped in 05, I thought it was one of the best albums when it dropped that year. In addition to that, his battle with Dizaster was the first Grind Time battle I ever saw, thereby introducing me to the current battle format. Dude truly was a King in the Underground. R.I.P.

Damn RIP I meet him at the closing of SouthPaw. He seemed like a good dude
