Today is a truly sad and surreal day for Hip-Hop. When I heard about it few hours ago I couldn’t believe it and I still can’t… The harsh reality is that we lost a legend, a great person, a huge sports fan, a great lyricist and a brilliant emcee, the funky diabetic and the very dear Malik Isaac Taylor<\/strong> aka Phife Dawg<\/strong>, who we all remember with joy as he was a highly influental Hip-Hop figure and a member of the immortal Hip-Hop group A Tribe Called Quest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He was also known as the “Five Foot Assassin” and “The Five Footer”. His only solo release was Ventilation: Da LP<\/em> in 2000, but last year he revealed plans to release Nutshell<\/a><\/em>, prod. by J Dilla<\/strong>, as the first single off a planned Give Thanks<\/em> EP he had in mind.<\/p>\n

Phife<\/strong> was also busy with Muttymorphosis<\/em>, his new LP he planned to release later this year that would serve as his life story… <\/p>\n

Blackout<\/strong> crew sends their deepest heartfelt condolences to Phife<\/strong>‘s family and friends. <\/p>\n

You will always be remembered our brother.<\/p>\n
