“Hip Hop lost a real gem,” Silk told the outlet. “My dear brother is gone. I’ve known him since he was 16 years old. He was my little brother. I introduced him to many and we did a lot of things together. We last talked December because we were finishing up the 200 rolling deep project. He was gonna do his video part with MC Sha-Rock.
“From the mixtapes to helping him launch Straight Stuntin’ magazine and the whole What The Science project, the world not only lost a real dedicated person to the culture of Hip Hop but a source of bridging the gap in Hip Hop. I’m gonna miss my little brother.”

Moving into the 2020s, he continued to release albums and mixtapes, featuring appearances from Kendrick Lamar, Busta Rhymes, Dave East, Lil Wayne, and countless more.
Before Kay Slay got his start as a disc jockey, Kay was known as Dez from TFP (The Fantastic Partners), a group of writers that were known for their graffiti work throughout Harlem.
