    These four guys brought so much joy to my life. Levi, the perfect gentleman, Obie always with a joke in his back pocket, Lawrence…my sweet Lawrence, with the smile that lit up the sky and Duke, the businessman who put everything in it’s proper perspective. My brothers will forever be with me. My Obie who constantly reminded me he was taking care of Levi. You have no idea the love, honor and respect they had for each other and the love the three had for Levi. I got a tearful hug from Duke a couple of months ago. Missing you guys today!🙏🏾💔❤️🥲🥲🥲

They put music out up until the time came and Levi and the rest were on there last show. Levi may you rest in peace and as for the rest may you still fine it in your hearts to put out the music out that you did. God Bless you all and thank you for the beautiful music that i have come to love so much......
