obvious track with him in mind but still an absolutely incredible track
really devastated by this. Know he was old but, i mean wasn't he still touring?

R.I.P G.S.H :(

At least XL got him to do I'm New Here. Shit, I'd hoped he was gonna continue with the same producers, imagine him and Jamie XX actually in the studio together.

Fuck.
