We are blessed to have experienced the Drama King, HarlemвЂ™s DJ. Kay has selflessly helped so many of us in the game.

From graffiti, to DJвЂ™ing, to production, to media publishing, Kay was always able to bring HipHop into our lives in an organic raw way. SVP A&R Of Republic Records, Amina Diop, adds, вЂњKay Slay was a true Hip Hop Enthusiast. HeвЂ™s gonna live on because we fly the same flag and itвЂ™s called Hip Hop. The fact is we did what we did and Kay Slay did what he did and he deserves all of us to come out, and thatвЂ™s what I did. Whether we had to pass the baton or not, that doesnвЂ™t matter. ThatвЂ™s who we were and then we grew up and grew into the game. вЂњBefore Hip Hop became what it was today вЂ¦ see, what I was trying to point out is that skinny kid was once all of us. вЂњWe had to show up for our brother,вЂќ Melle Mel says. And what IвЂ™m asking yвЂ™all, Did yвЂ™all have a good time? Did you enjoy the show!? Did you enjoy the Kay Slay parade?!вЂќДЄ post shared by HipHopDX caught up with Melle Mel just as the вЂњafter partyвЂќ was getting started and he expounded on the love he has for DJ Kay Slay. And thing that I want to convey to yвЂ™all, after all that was said and done, and after all thatвЂ™ going to be said and done about this great man, he put on a show. But I didnвЂ™t know that he was the same as me until a couple of days ago. вЂњHe did that! Kay Slay, he did that! And he always kept me in the loop. We wanted to make sure everybody was having a good time. It is what it is! It is what it is! When we put this thing together, we didnвЂ™t have a master plan. вЂњI had a good time the night before I got here. вЂњWe just wanted to have a good time,вЂќ he says in the clip exclusively sent to DX. With a giant, rose-covered photo of Kay Slay and gold casket looming in the background, Melle Mel had the crowd roaring with his commentary. You will never be forgotten.вЂќДuring the service, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious 5 legend Melle Mel shared a few words. Over 40 years of work, memories and music. Beyond those early days, you went on to have one of the most impactful careers in the history of Hip Hop. They donвЂ™t know how you were sneaking into Flash and the 3 MCs jams in 1978 when you were 11 or 12. People donвЂ™t even realize the work you put in as DJ Kay-Gee in вЂ™83 with the Dollar Bill Crew while you were writing. вЂњRest in peace my brother Kay Slay,вЂќ he tells DX. Speaking to HipHopDX, Pete Nice recalled Kay SlayвЂ™s deep history in the culture as he vowed to keep his name alive.
