DJ Evil Dee Announces Celebration of the Life of Sean Price

Published Fri, July 22, 2022 at 5:44 PM EDT

A celebration for the life of acclaimed rapper Sean Price, who unexpectedly passed away on August 8, 2015, is scheduled to take place next month. DJ Evil Dee made the announcement on Instagram, and the event will feature performances from Boot Camp Clik, Keith Murray, Nems, Rim & Eddie Kaine, Ruste Juxx, Illa Ghee, Poison Pen, Swave Sevah, Bo Black, and Stuck B, and he'll spin along with another set from DJ Anthony Mace.

A member of Heltah Skeltah, The Boot Camp Clik, The Fab 5 and Random Axe, Sean P was one of the most respected artists in Hip-Hop, who helped shape culture and music in subtle but dynamic ways with his witty wordplay and recognizable, rugged delivery.

“Sean just liked to rap," Duck Down Records CEO Dru Ha said of the rapper in an interview with Fader. "Before he finished a song, he would go and do another verse. He didn’t care much about the hooks, so there were tons of verses to go through and lots to figure out. It was like putting a puzzle together. He left drives of music in the different studios that he worked out of. With me personally, Sean wouldn’t bring us into the recording process until he had what he thought was the skeleton of an album."

The celebration will take place on Aug. 9 at SOB's in NYC.
