NO DAMNIT NO!!!!!
What a wonderful artist he was and I always hoped we'd get to hear more of his work. I don't know who that Benzino guy is but RIP King indeed.
Pancreatic cancer. What a kick in the gut. I got his first CD when it came out and played the shyt out of it. Still and amazing piece of music.
he was my favorite artist. my teacher and my compass. in the 14 years he was reclusive, i was scouring Prince and other music related forums for news on his next record, finding bootleg leaks of demos for Really Love and 1000 Deaths in the late 00's along with other scattered recordings. i'm glad to see some people here regard him highly. i've been emotionally and existentially impacted by his passing over this past week, but it's prompted me to live my life in the music and get my new band mobilized
