CHRIS LIGHTY INDUSTRY VETERAN HAS PASSED AWAY!

When things like this happen, all you can say is how did it happen? Unfortunately a music industry veteran has died. "Chris Lighty, who founded and ran Violator Entertainment, has passed away. His mark on the world of hip-hop and music in general is legendary, as he helped launch the careers of some of the genre's biggest names.As part of Violator, he helped start and mold the careers of everyone from Q-Tip to 50 Cent to Busta Rhymes, among many others. Lighty was a true pioneer and pillar of the hip-hop community and will be sorely missed.


 
Later reports throughout the day the Chris Lighty may have committed suicide. Still waiting on further confirmation. This is so unfortunate. We must put God first in all things, because we cannot fight every battle on our own.
