Wonder how he passed..43 is extremely young to go…shit make me wanna slow down smoking and drinking real talk
Truly a shame that he passed so young man. I loved those early Boot Camp albums. True classics. Sean Price was continuing to hold it down too. Loved his integrity. Never sold out the culture.
RIP
