24 years go was when an incredibly talented Brooklyn King via Trelawny Jamaica Christopher Wallace aka ‘The Notorious BIG’ was murdered aged sadly just 24. His vocabulary and ability of portraying ‘I Got A Story To Tell’ was a game changer with a sonic cinematic visualisation without the photos. Subject matters and language were coarse and hardcore, but that was his truth through his eyes. Loved his flow reminded me of a more pronounced and punctuated fellow Jamaican rooted Chubb Rock, but with a ferociousness militantness of fire, that rat a tat tatted verbal bullets full of ‘Warning’ Rest In Power Biggy

Quincy Delight Jones fondly known as ‘Q’ was born this day 14th March in 1933 and grew up in the south side of Chicago.

Quincy’s resume is prolific in the music and film industries and he has worked with MJ, Chaka Khan, The Brothers Johnson and Patti Austin. With so many icons leave g this plane to embark on their next journey we must feel blessed to still have ‘Q’ a true soul survivor as he celebrates his 88th today.
