I imagine that he complained that he was DJ Megatron and the punk said, “Who?”

In addition to his musical interests, he was apparently also a baseball fan

Probably some Lutheran or Mennonite is responsible. When will we learn? In other news, who is this guy anyway?

Look at this evil group of gang bangers.

NY Daily news said “A Staten Island deejay and rising hip-hop star was shot to death while walking to a local bodega to buy a cigar early Sunday, police and a close friend said.”

There we go. Smoking kills.
