Please Read: NYC Lost a Legend Last Weekend
I was supposed to promote the release of the Best of AWKWORD mixtape, which dropped on my birthday on Monday. I was supposed to promote the free bonus track -- featuring Skyzoo and Rapper Big Pooh -- that you get if you download the digi-tape for $5 on Bandcamp. But I couldn't. I couldn't Monday. I couldn't Tuesday. I couldn't get out of bed until today. And I'm still in shock and horror as I write this.
After crying, hard, for an hour, I called up our brother, Brian Halladay aka Whatzisface?, the third member of our trio The Free Agents and Andreis's best friend, and I asked, what can I possibly do to help? He said, keep on living, share your music with the world like you're supposed to, like Dre would have wanted. And do everything you can to help his wife Michelle, his sister Ariann, and his mother Mona, who remain here on earth. To that end, I plead with you: please donate to the GoFundMe campaign to support Andreis's family and honor the legacy of the one-of-a-kind NYC icon YME aka GuessWho?.
And, with all due respect to my fallen comrade, if you want to listen to -- and share -- some quality Hip Hop (which has always helped me in times like this), please continue below for links to:
- The Best of AWKWORD mixtape, available now on limited edition cassette, CD and all digital formats.
- The new "Cruel Intentions" remix with Skzyoo and Rapper Big Pooh, produced by Frank Drake of Kemba's Negus fame.
- A preview from the "I Am" global collab music video, featuring artists from 9 countries and 4 continents.
"I breathe when I want to breathe, speak when I want to speak, see how I want to see, life is nuts!" - Andreis Costa aka GuessWho? aka YME
