On Halloween I lost my best friend, big brother, mentor, and band mate. I find a lot of comfort in knowing that I had a best friend, big brother, mentor, and band mate in the first place, when so many people will never know what it is like to have someone as magical as Beatz in their lives. I’m so lucky for that and so lucky that I survived this thing to tell everyone about him. He will live forever in all of our hearts and in the music he created so passionately.
