We are blessed to have experienced the Drama King, Harlem’s DJ. Kay has selflessly helped so many of us in the game. From graffiti, to DJ’ing, to production, to media publishing, Kay was always able to bring HipHop into our lives in an organic raw way. SVP A&R Of Republic Records, Amina Diop, adds, “Kay Slay was a true Hip Hop Enthusiast. He’s gonna live on because we fly the same flag and it’s called Hip Hop. The fact is we did what we did and Kay Slay did what he did and he deserves all of us to come out, and that’s what I did. Whether we had to pass the baton or not, that doesn’t matter. That’s who we were and then we grew up and grew into the game. “Before Hip Hop became what it was today … see, what I was trying to point out is that skinny kid was once all of us. “We had to show up for our brother,” Melle Mel says.

And thing that I want to convey to y’all, after all that was said and done, and after all that’ going to be said and done about this great man, he put on a show. But I didn’t know that he was the same as me until a couple of days ago. “He did that! Kay Slay, he did that! And he always kept me in the loop. We wanted to make sure everybody was having a good time. It is what it is! It is what it is! When we put this thing together, we didn’t have a master plan. “I had a good time the night before I got here. “We just wanted to have a good time,” he says in the clip exclusively sent to DX.

You will never be forgotten.”ĭuring the service, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5 legend Melle Mel shared a few words. Over 40 years of work, memories and music.
