As much as some heads would like to forget and disagree, Freaky Tah of South Jamaica, Queens’ Lost Boyz played as an important and integral role in the group as Mr. Cheeks [II] did. Although he wasn’t the lead MC per say, he played a pivotal role as not just the group’s promoter, but as the Boyz’s backup MC and hypeman. In 1996 and 1997, the Lost Boyz released Legal Drug Money and Love, Peace and Nappiness, respectively, both clutching gold plaques and critical acclaim. Freaky Tah was shot in the head execution style on a Sunday morning in his borough of Queens, and nearly just a month after Big L’s passing, which sort of swept Tah’s death under the radar. Unfortunately, after Tah’s untimely passing, Cheeks and the rest of the Lost Boyz’s career seemed to almost take a turn for the worst, releasing the mediocre LB IV Life and the uninspiring Lost Boyz Forever. No matter what, Freaky Tah, Mr. Cheeks and the Lost Boyz have struck a notch in the timeline of Hip-Hop that cannot be undone or removed, and undoubtedly, the group’s name will always come up in a cipher speaking on mid-to-late 90s Hip-Hop. R.I.P. Freaky Tah!

“They say everytime somebody dies, a child is born
So thank this nigga who gave his life for the birth of someone’s son.”
R.I.P . Raymond Rogers, my prayers goes out to his family and friends.
Remember the remix to Music Makes Me High? It had Tha Dogg Pound and Canibus (when he was a fucking BEAST!) and they even made a video for it. Man those were the good old days. When they made dope remixes and then videos to them. Now they just use the same beat and throw a bunch of bs “rappers” on it.
Yo RIP to Nujabes and Freaky Tah. It’s never easy to lose someone talented, but it gets a little easier knowing that the music will last forever.
I actually thought Tah’s presence added something to the LB tracks. Although honestly I have no idea what the other two members did.
R.I.P. Freaky Tah,
L O S T to the B O Y Z played a huge role in 90′s hip hop, nothing but love for their music, it brings back mad memories… Camoflage pullovers, timberlands, a jet black Ford Explorer… What??
Click the name!
