RIP - APACHE













Another sad loss for HIP HOP. RIP APACHE. I had the opportunity to meet him several times back in the early 90's. I remember the I Need A Gangsta Bitch stickers very well. Back when sticker promo was heavy on the streets. Diamond had one in his old Camry and I still have several in my studio. Appreciate the artists that paved the way for where we are today, but more importantly love your friends and family more everyday. Never know when they will be taken from you.
