P.R. 0 Comments , ,

The Outlawz and the rest of the hip-hop world lost an important member of our family Saturday evening when Hussein Fatal was killed in a tragic car crash. “He was well-loved so this is a big blow,” E.D.I. Mean tells us during this heartfelt exclusive. E.D.I. Don (also known as EDI Mean) had just performed with Fatal three weeks ago in Ohio, and had planned to see him this week as they were set to do a show in Germany. “I’m expecting to see my brother on Thursday, and he not gon’ be there,” he grievously states.

Ain’t nobody on this planet like me.” Rashad credits his confidence to his family, particularly his mom, who made him read the dictionary religiously growing up. Much like Vince Staples and his hometown of Long Beach, Rashad is dedicated to remembering where he comes from: “It’s important for me to pay it forward to the people in Chattanooga, some type of way,” he says. “It’s inspiring somebody, man. Just making somebody want to do something.”
