My Mother passed away Friday at 4:441AM. While she wasn't an artist and she never had a private press release, she was important in my developement as a beat digger. I got my basis from her collection. Lee Dorsey, Donny Hathaway, Albert King, Parliament. When I wanted to be an artist, she kept the books for my first independent release. she would make sure anybody that came into the house bought a record, sometimes 2. She taught me tolerance , respect, and gave me a love of knowledge that I instill in my own kids. She was an unofficial social worker in the neighborhood and she helped a lot of people who are still here because of the advice she gave them. I'll miss you Mommy. Respect.
