    It goes to show you how important a person is to a group. He to me was the most talented, his voice was so unique. For me when I first heard the track The Lifestyles Of The Rich And Shameful I remember going out and purchasing the CD and bump this particular song, because the beat and Freaky Tah’s voice was killer on the track. R.I.P Freaky Tah one off the most unique voice ever.❤️

    Thank you for the detailed message so for everyone to know how Freaky Tah has been taken out, its really sad, lost Boys was my fav Rap group when growing up, i still love them, its sad the group disbanded.
    There was no way Mr Cheeks could pull it without Freaky Tah and Spiggy Nice.
    but lets trust the man above on what has happened to the group members.
    Rest in power Freakt Tah.

    Thank You very much, Renie. Great Job.
    I have to admit that I didn't had clue Freaky Tah was a rapper and member of the "Lost Boyz".
    I just heard his Name in Eminem's "Bully" mentioned.
    Anyways i enjoyed it a lot. thanks for another history lesson.
    "Now what bothers me the most
    About hip-hop is we so close
    To picking up where we left off with Big and Pac
    We just lost Jam Master J
    Big L got blasted away
    Plus we lost Bugs, Snake Tongue, and Freaky Ta"

    Your version is wrong. They killed Tah because they thought he was Cheeks’ brother. Also, the Hellrayzor Fam(not sure of spelling), were not an aspiring group. They were an actual group that had their record deal fall apart. Mr. Cheeks was the person they were looking for because he knew for sure that they killed someone. It was his jewelry that they had took from one of his boys. There’s still some men out there looking to catch up with Mr. Cheeks.
