RIP Jam Master Jay.

Four years ago today somebody walked right into Jason Mizell’s Queens studio and shot him in the head.
One-time person of interest in the case, Curtis Scoon, is interviewed here; the man that Notiorious C.O.P. author Derrick Parker actually believes killed JMJ, Carl “Big D” Jordan, has never said anything about the incident. Check Parker talking about it here, around the 3:00 mark. Another rap murder goes unsolved…and to those who would say “live by the gun…”, you should check yourself, as he was one of hiphop’s most universally beloved individuals.

As Queens rapper Grafh put it, ‘we lost a man, a real nigga, a husband, a father’.

Jay was a distant cousin of mine whom I never met; god knows if I had, I would’ve surely been starstruck by my own kin. He is after all the King Of Rock- there is none higher. God Bless.
