ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF THE CULTURE PASSED. HERE ARE SOME  BEAUTIFUL WORDS FROM HIS BROTHER IN ARMS FABEL. THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION FREEZE YOU MAY NEVER KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU TOUCHED AND INSPIRED I WAS ONE OF THEM. REST IN POWER AND GOD BLESS

On April 3rd, 2008 at approximately 7:50am, Wayne "FROSTY FREEZE" Frost started his journey in to the next life. Our condolences go to his family and friends and all who knew of his great legacy. Frosty acknowledged those of us who came to visit him and was in good company during his last moments on this earth. For those of you who had the honor of knowing him, we all know that Frosty had a very celebrative spirit. He was constantly educating people and helped preserve the rich history of urban and Hip Hop culture. He was "the walking Hip Hop encyclopedia" and was one of the few brothers who had almost total recall in terms of history. We ask that you remember him as this great positive light who cared and loved many of us just as we loved and cared for him. On this day, we ask that people continue to keep him in their prayers. God willing, we will post any new information with regard to the wake and his memorial on April 11th.

Peace, Love and Unity,
FABEL RSC

FROSTY FREEZE ROC ROC ON!
