Our condolences to the entire Elam family, to our good friend and his long-time Gang Starr collaborator DJ Premier, and to everyone else who had the pleasure of knowing or working with the man.

R.I.P, his music was and still is fantastic and his 8 Ball character was one of my favourites in GTA3.
My condolences to his family.
