Props to FWMJ. You might remember Nottz’ name being dropped on the “original” since he also produced the “Life of the Party” (Remix) featuring Skillz that was on the Mick Boogie & Little Brother …And Justus For All mixtape:

Damn. AHH reports he passed away after a protracted illness.

The CEO and co-founder of Flavor Unit Records, Shakim Compere, confirmed it to them and had this to say:

“Without Apache there would have been no Queen Latifah, no Naughty By Nature, no Chill Rob G., no anything” Compere told AllHipHop.com. “Apache was the string that tied all of Flavor Unit together. Without Apache none of this would be.”

Kid Capri also took to Twitter to eulogize his fallen homie.

Lil Wayne’s engineer KY spoke to NewLilWayne and told them that Wayne has twenty songs down for the next installment of Tha Carter series. I’d imagine he’s going to keep on going (before he goes to prison, of course)  as Carter 4 doesn’t even have a release date in sight. Speaking of which, Rebirth drops next week. lol

I wonder how many of those 20 tracks The Empire has.

Crooked’s people just sent the CD Quality version of the remix we dropped last night and another feature he recently did.
