Very sad day for all of us but eternally grateful for the opportunity to work with a legend. These shows were some of my all-time faves. The second pic is from The Opera House Toronto on the Brown Sugar Tour (1995). The last is a show that never happened - in true D fashion, he was giving it ALL on the Voodoo tour (3 hour shows) and lost his voice hours before doors in Toronto.
Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Rest easy 🕊️
Grateful for the acknowledgement and proud to be in great company. In all of this, it’s humbling to recognize this is possible because I stand on the shoulders of many - appreciate all of you, past and present. #billboard #billboardhiphoppowerplayers
A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this guy. Friendship and brotherhood for 25+ years. We’ve been through it all and stayed down. Sending you love and light today and every day. ❤️ 💪🏽

I'd like to think this was good karma for what we've all endured the last two years. What it really is, is a great artist guided by a great team making a triumphant return to a great city. Thankful to be along for the ride. @randalluritsky@bennyscarrs@jackfoster@santandave 🙏🏽 #santandave
Did countless shows with @officialblackalicious - as gracious as they were talented. You will never see an MC as entertaining, precise and as skilled as Gift Of Gab. RIP. Condolences to his family and to Chief Xcel ❤️
