Sad to hear we lost Dallas Penn, a pioneer of hip-hop blogging. Met him in '08 while he was visiting ATL. He invited me + some other bloggers to drink/hang. When back in NY he sent me a mixtape w/ a random sketch of Batman. 'Voodoo Child' was track #2. All-around great dude. #RIP

Rico Wade was many things to folks who knew him personally.

I spoke to some of the people whose lives he changed forever. They talked about their friend, who was a chef, sports fanatic, and family man who was always smiling.
