JMS: R.I.P. Markey Fresh

So as the year goes on we lose yet another solider in Hip Hop, this time it was sadly New York born and bred Markey Fresh, a former member of the original line up of the Flavor Unit, first broke onto the scene, way back in 1988 on the dope "The King Is Here" with DJ Mark The 45 King and then he released "The Mack Of Rap" in 1989.

In 1993 there was the very limited release to DJ's and press of the "Once Again It's On" EP (with the awesome "Aint No Thang" on it) and it was on Facebook that I saw Chill Rob G's status update saying R.I.P. To The Mack Of Rap Markey Fresh and I saw on another website that DJ Mark The 45 King said that he had passed away from a stroke, sadly there is very little info or pics out there about him, there is however a great interview with him at unkut,com though (thanks for the 12" cover pic Robbie)

Copywrite-Read it and love it. Fuck those morons talkin shit about u "giving away free music". They'll complain no matter what u do. I've known camu longer than anyone in any crew he was ever in and I know he would love to be remembered for the obsession he put into his music and art. Much love fam. U even had "hear me talkin to you". A lot of people slept and never checked that out. Props fam. I'm gonna check the przm one out too. I miss both these people daily.
D.Lynch (Solid Scheme)-Thanks for the write up, you really did your homework. Thanks for taking me for a trip down memory lane. As for not seeing any photos of Solid Scheme your correct Chris and I were really on the low. We just made beats. Chris Passed away on March 9th 2001 of a suddden heart attack he was only 31That was my Dog! As for me I'm still making beats living in Los Angeles though originally from Brooklyn.
Hitman Howie Tee-Jaz, Your da man. Thanx for da hook up, what more can I say, but BIG BIG Thanx man. I'm in Orlando, FL now just chillin with the fam. I have maadd trax, but Hip-Hop is NOT the same, it's ALL about the money. When you do hip hop for the money, you make the money, But when you do hip hop for the love of hip hop, you make HISTORY (the money will come). Think About, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five did not get the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame becouse they made money. Hollaback
