“I went to the hospital to see you last night, what I saw had me walking out the room crying, a week ago or so,” the veteran DJ wrote. “you requested that people come see you before aug 2, that’s when you wanted to be taking off of the respirator, yesterday was aug 2nd, I would have had so much regret if I didn’t make it there, because today your gone.
“You was holding on last night after they took you off the machine, it was very hard to leave you behind in that hospital room to go home, knowing I will never see you again, but my memory of you will last forever, we grew up together a block away from each other, Kingsbridge terrace and Sedgwick ave, Home of hip hop! The Bx!”

We all are gonna miss you so much but the fun times are documented in our souls. You were HardCore and Sweet at the same time. Would fuck up anybody that fronted on us or you. My beautiful Foxx Beige sleep peacefully Queen.”
