WOW, didn't see this one coming. Rest in Peace.
XXL Magazine posted on X:
"Irv Gotti, cofounder of Murder Inc. Records, has died at the age of 54, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The famed record executive and producer's cause of death is as yet unknown. Earlier today, it was reported that Irv suffered a stroke several days ago. This is the second stroke he had in the last seven months.
Irv was a prominent figure in hip-hop throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, due to his work with Ja Rule and singer Ashanti. He produced or co-produced classic tracks like Ja Rule's "Always on Time" featuring Ashanti, Jay-Z's "Can I Get A..." featuring Ja Rule and Amil, DMX's "What's My Name" and Eve's "Gangsta Lovin'" featuring Alicia Keys, among many others.
RIP Irv Gotti. 🕊️"
Damn. Way too young.
Dude, few things shock me anymore these days. This was a shocker and of course the Doncic trade. Two shockers within days.
Was listening to a podcast today about the trade....Nothing should be a surprise now lol

May he rest in peace 🙏
