Rest In Peace Camu Tao




The first time I heard of Camu Tao was in 12's wax in Sacramento......The "Hold the Floor", single has a ill cover { above} so I decided to give it some burn on the decks. To be honest I didn't like it that much, I even returned it for a Masai Bey single {Nonstop}.....But after a year or so went buy I went and copped it again and it grew, and grew on me.....Anyway I kept my eye on Camu and watched his talent blossom.....From "Nighthawks", to his numerous cameos on Def Jux releases, his style kept getting crazier and crazier.....The song he did for Adult Swim "Plot for a little bit", is a perfect example........One of his newest offerings bears the title "Death where have you been all my life"?.............That shit gives me the chills..............He died of lung cancer at 31, and that also gives me the chills......I didn't know him personally, and I don't know how he lived his life, but out of respect I have just ended my relationship with cigarettes.................Check for Camu's catalogue, Check for his Blair Cosby projects, Check for your love ones, Check for creative people, Check yourself..........RIP Camu, Dj Prizm, D.J. So What..............Audio posting this weekend............
