DJ Ian Head shares, "Gift of Gab was most definitely a big part of my life's soundtrack since high school. I might have seen Blackalicious in concert more often than any other group. He was one of the most brilliant emcees I've ever heard, and from all accounts was just a great human. Sending love out to his family and friends. This is just a short tribute mix with a few favorite tracks and a few samples that give me that feeling that became part of the legendary music he and Chief Xcel made together. R.I.P.." Another tremendous loss to our culture... DJ Shadow added, "Gab loved to think of life as just a momentary stage of a much longer journey, and all its trials and tribulations as "training" for the adventures to come after. If there's one thing I know, wherever Gab is, he's SOARING right now. We love and miss you." Indeed. Beautiful sentiment. Rest In Peace, Gift of Gab...
