On September 17, 2014, the Hip Hop world was stunned and heartbroken by the loss of one of their own, Earl Patrick McNease aka Praverb aka P the Wyse, known not only for his truth-telling rhymes but for his graciousness, honesty, kindness and humility. His death sent shockwaves across the industry, with Hip Hop heavyweights such as 9th Wonder, Diamond D, J. Live and Mello Music Group paying tribute to our fallen soldier.
Boston emcee M-Dot paid tribute to Praverb the day after his death, and now long-time Praverb affiliates AWKWORD, Kev Turner, DJ Grazzhoppa and LX Beats join Praverb for his last song “All A Dream”, a tribute to P featuring the man himself, with all proceeds going to benefit his widow and their young son.
As AWKWORD puts it: “Once we learned of P’s death, I rewrote and recorded a new verse for the song to pay tribute to my friend, and LX reached out to another longtime Praverb collaborator DJ Grazzhoppa for cuts for the chorus.” This song will appear on the forthcoming Praverb Tribute Album, coming soon!
