Bad News for HIP HOP TODAY.

Gutted. He lit up the room. He always kept you laughing. While recording, he always had great ideas & he really understood/enjoyed the process. New or old, he treated with you the upmost regard & respect.
Jabba, you definitely will be missed. #RIPHHP pic.twitter.com/XCCjqOLZMK

💔 We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.
