Rest In Peace Richie Ragz (Fedd Hill)
Richie Ragz the youngest artist of Fedd Hill past away yesterday, Friday February 1st. It’s a tragedy when ever someone so young loses their life. This seems almost surreal to me, Richie had been to my old apartment many times. I have designed a lot of artwork for Fedd Hill. Just recently Pone and Richie came by my mom’s crib to meet up with me to discuss the development of their website. If there is one thing I can say about Richie is that he was always very respectful and polite. Not something I am used to when dealing with emcees. Usually emcees are always in “character”, But Richie was mature and down to earth. And even tho I didn’t know him very well, I do feel loss when I think of the fact that he has moved on.
My condolences go out to his family, friends and loved ones. Here is a mini bio about Ragz I got from his myspace page: (more…)

marked “RI Rap Sceneâ€
Being born and raised in PROVIDEnce, I’ve come to accept certain drawbacks about this state. For example:
However, the one issue I can’t bring myself to accept is, the lack of success we’ve had establishing ourselves as a legitimate region of hip hop talent.
