This is one of our favorite verses from Prodigy. His words are so vivid and clear that if you shut your eyes, you’ll be transported to that very moment in time. It’s poetry at its finest. Join us in celebration of the legendary Prodigy on his 50th birthday—shut your eyes and listen with us. Our condolences continue to go out to his family, friends, and, of course, Havoc. 🕊️🙏

Hitman Howie Tee & Raven-Symoné circa ‘92

Howie Tee is a pivotal yet often overlooked figure in hip-hop from the late 1980s to early 1990s. Renowned for producing hits for Chubb Rock, Special Ed, and UTFO during the Roxanne Wars, he significantly influenced the genre’s evolution by incorporating complex funk and jazz samples. His collaborations with Select and Uptown Records led to successes with R&B group Color Me Badd and remixes for stars like Madonna and Heavy D.

Additionally, Howie Tee produced Raven-Symoné’s debut album, *Here’s to New Dreams*, demonstrating his versatility across genres. Despite being overshadowed by contemporaries, his contributions remain vital to hip-hop’s golden era legacy.

Special Ed & DJ Akshun Love circa 1989

Special Ed burst onto the scene in 1989 with his debut album “Youngest in Charge,” showcasing his clever lyrics and youthful charisma. DJ Akshun played a crucial role in this journey, providing dynamic cuts/scratches that elevated Ed’s tracks. Together, they created a distinctive sound alongside Hitman Howie Tee, who arranged and produced the album. This collaboration helped shape the late ‘80s hip-hop landscape, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to inspire.

Thank you for your contributions to hip hop. 🫶

The Treacherous Three in Harlem…

The Treacherous Three was a pioneering hip-hop group from the late 1970s and early 1980s, consisting of Kool Moe Dee, Special K, and Laidback. Known for their dynamic lyrical styles and energetic performances, they played a crucial role in shaping the early sound of hip-hop. Their tracks often blended storytelling with social commentary, and they were among the first to popularize the “battle rap” style. The group helped lay the groundwork for future artists, and their influence is still felt in the genre today. Their legacy includes a commitment to creativity and lyrical skill, making them an enduring part of hip-hop history.

Thank you, Treacherous Three, for your groundbreaking contributions to hip-hop. 🫶

Life truly is precious, and it’s heartbreaking when someone feels they can no longer continue fighting. The loss of Chino XL, especially under such circumstances, hits deeply because he was a brilliant artist with so much ahead of him. His passing at 50, confirmed as a su***de, leaves a gaping hole in the hearts of his family, friends, and the entire hip-hop community. His contributions to the culture were immense, and the strength of his lyricism reflected battles many of us couldn’t see. It’s a reminder that, behind the music, our idols can be struggling with their own demons.

At Weekly Rap Gods, we can’t simply report this and move on. We feel the weight of this loss alongside the rest of the community. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Chino XL’s family, especially his daughters and loved ones. His talent, his art, and the love he poured into his life will be remembered forever. Rest in peace, Chino XL. Your legacy remains. ❤️🕊️
