Cheers to one of the giants. I posted 2 songs of my dude on the H.E.F. ("Grasin in the Grass" & "Languta"-- featuring Hedzoleh Soundz)

great tid-bit... his name spelled backwards is ALEKESAM! Africa wins again. R.I.P.

don't know how i missed this.  one of the best concerts i've been to.

i remember meeting him on the A train in Harlem.  i asked about whether they were going to reissue one of his albums.  the one with "gold" and "mace and grenades" on it.  he turned to the elegant lady he was with and said "i told you so".  i felt good represented whatever i did at that moment.
