Although our brother is in a better place, many of us in the Christian hip hop ministry and industry will miss him greatly. In times like these, we come together as the body of Christ to offer a hand to the immediate family left behind. Although nothing we do will take away the grief that his loved ones are experiencing , we can show our love and support in other ways. Source
