Greg Blackman – Save The Wax (@Delsoulcondor Fundraiser)

Del has been an avid Hip Hop fan for many many years and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject and often shared his collection to his followers on twitter (@delsoulcondor).

Recently it has become known after diagnosis, he has evasive mouth cancer and obviously a huge shock to him, his family and the community. Typically, some thoughts turned to Del’s epic Vinyl collection and he expressed concern that he never wanted it to ‘end up in charity shops or a skip’, wanting them to go to a good Home.

“I’m an avid vinyl collector too and it touched me as I have close up experience with cancer both with my mother, father, and sister in recent years. I wanted to do something to support Del and in this world that sometimes comes down to money. To be clear, Del is not selling his collection and maintains the concern of it going to a good home/homes and thats his business.”, says Tim Guiheen, organizer of the fundraiser.

“Save The Vinyl” Fundraiser is created to raise enough money so that selling the collection remains off the table for good and the money can be used to make him comfortable in his journey and allow him to support his family too.

Being suported by people all over the world, a few days ago there has also been a song released – “Save The Wax” is a funky track by Greg Blackman, Bohze of Southside Deluxe and Genesis Elijah, produced by DJ Moneyshot. Cop the track on Bandcamp. The minimum price is a guide only and all proceeds from this tune will go directly to the fund.

The whole Blackout Hip Hop Team wishes Del all the best in these difficult times.
