R.I.P. Stacks Bundles…My Homey
My Dear Friend…it hurt so much to wake up to this…So sad…I've
watched from the humble beginnings…when he used to live with me out
in Chicago we rocked together everyday…He'd write rhymes in one room
and I'd be writing rhymes in the other…He was there with me through
many a milestone in my life , the up's and the downs, and I was so
proud and happy to see him acheive success in his life at what he
loved…Hip-Hop…Stacks was the first person that was signed to
1st&15th way back when it first started FYI…Even beyond that I
considered Stacks family…My heartfelt condolences go out to his
family and friends in this time of sadness…We all lost a Good Friend
today…But He wont be forgotten…May God have mercy on his soul,
Forgive him for his sins in this Life, and watch over him in the next…"Update: Details Emerge in Stack Bundles Murder". HipHopDX. June 11, 2007.
