It broke my heart to see him leave to heaven, its a sad year knowing with loss one of the greatest rappers out there, now a legend, from El Paso sending my condolences to his family and friends 🙏

I remember when Lil Keke was playing on 979 back in the 90s. When I heard Big Pokey I became a S.U.C fan. Life is a cycle that keeps going.We never know what life brings. Sunny or Gray we will forever Ball and Parley ! Rest in love Poke!❤❤
