You were one of the greatest..
I grew up in Wilmington NC and on your music.. I spent countless hours lip syncing “flamethrower rap”.. and years later watching the show “The Scene”.. RIP
Happy Thanksgiving …. Man I love you and miss you infinite. They say I get better but it really dosent. I feel you left me but that’s selfish. You the only brother , uncle , best friend, uncle and father I had..Thats a lot for me…Shit not the same and around the holidays we would talk even if we was beefing.
Jarvis, you were my bud. So many fun memories in that studio off Monroe with Al. I will miss you always and you will always have a piece of my heart… even though your heart was claimed by the best and most true. (Love to T) I hope you rest in peace my friend. You were truly a gift to this world and an undeniably special person. Thanks for the music and the memories. I miss your soul and it was an unforgettable one. Catch you on the flipside of this wacky track. Rest in power my friend. Love always and thanks for always having my ignorant back when I was a young dummy
