Some reports claim medical complications ultimately caused CT’s death.
Famed West Coast DJ and producer DJ Crazy Toones passed away today (Jan. 9) from a heart attack. Born Lamar Dupré Calhoun, Crazy Toones was the brother of Texas-hailing rapper WC and got into music when his brother did in the early 1990’s. Crazy Toones came to be known in the underground scene as something of mixtape connect, often hosting cyphers to his menacing, bass heavy beats. (XXL Mag)
Yesterday, handfuls of celebrities went to social media and spoke on Toones’ impact on their lives.
