Death Of An MC
chrisnettleton by Chris Nettleton September 22nd, 2003
Today is the day Philadelphia hip hop act Spooks release their new album 'Faster Than You Know', but what should have been a happy day for them was tainted with the news that their former fifth member, MC Water Water, died yesterday. The official statement was as follows:
"Tragically our friend and former group member Water Water was killed in a freak auto accident yesterday. We are still unsure of all the details. Although Water was not a part of the Faster album he was and will always be family.

We would like to do whatever we can to honor his life and his immeasurable contribution to the Spooks and the Hip Hop world. We all loved Water very much, he will be missed."
