Thoughts and prayers are with Hip-Hop legend, DJ Kay Slay. According to multiple reports and friends on social media, the legendary Hip-Hop DJ Kay Slay has died. The DJ and Hip-Hop legend was hospitalized since December with Covid-19 and it seems like the illness got the better of him.  So sad to hear that Kay Slay has passed away.

The 55-year-old, DJ Kay Slay died on Easter Sunday (April 17).

Back on Wednesday, January 6th, Wack 100 took to instagram to reveal a DJ Kay Slay covid battle, sharing that the legendary deejay and advocate for the culture had been placed on a ventilator after 14 days. Wack also shared that it wasn’t looking good.  Not a good sign.

Just a week before Kay Slay being hospitalized Raysean Autry, the co-founder of the popular Hip-Hop blog Kollege Kidd, passed away from COVID-19. His twin brother, Rich Autry, also a Kollege Kidd co-founder, also fought off the coronavirus in the hospital.

Here’s what Wack 100 had to say back in January:

Pray for my brotha @djkayslay It’s not looking good. He might be mad at me for this those that know Slay but he needs all the support he can get … Been 14 days fighting Covid and he’s just be put on a ventilator . Keep him in your prayers Please

On December 17th Kay Slay released his latest album, The Soul Controller.  The video for the lead single, “In My Soul” featuring Papoose, AZ, Mysonne and Tre Williams was released just the other day.  Check it out below…
