The turntable spinner worked with some of the biggest names in music, including Ghostface Killah, Jungle Brothers, Busta Rhymes, Big L and Linkin Park. He had released six solo albums and seven more with his group, the X-Ecutioners. Williams had trained in mixed martial arts for several years. He was recovering at an "inpatient physical therapy facility" at the time of his death, according to a statement from his family. "Family and friends will miss him dearly. Please give the family their privacy," the statement continued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
