On a personal note, I remember Heltah Skeltah performing at my high school in New Jersey at a show sponsored by Hot 97. The energy that Price had onstage was contagious, and it was also my first hip-hop show. And I’ll never forget it.

“I control the masses, with metaphors that’s massive” … #RIPSeanPrice.
