RIP KASE 2 x Graffiti KING
Hearing via Twitter that pioneering graffiti legend KASE 2 (CASE)—born Jeff Brown—has passed away. Will add more info as it becomes available. A South Bronx representative, “One arm” KASE got a boost in fame after he appeared in the seminal Hip-Hop documentary Style Wars, which should be in your collection, back in ’83. A clip of KASE in the film below. RIP.
UPDATE: MTV RapFix blog posted some nice words on KASE, who succumbed to cancer, from King Phade.
