Rammellzee, aside from being an Old School Graffiti Artist with works seen around the world was very much an early MC/Rap Pioneer of vocal styles. Some of which were taught to him by one of his partners from way back- Jamel - Z.
Styles like the "Gangsta Duck" (which he used on the infamous Jean Michel Basquiat produced "Beat Bop" circa 1983), "WC Fields" (he used it in the movie Wild Style during his lyrically beyond performance with Shock Dell LIVE AT THE AMPHITHEATER circa 1982), and the "Tricky Dick" were all part of his arsenal.
His death was first announced on the Twitter page of Fab Five Freddy, who would know; and early this morning, a post went up on Rammellzee's Myspace page reading in part "...in mourning..as i type this, i'm numb from overwhelming sadness.....The Equation The Ramm:Ell:Zee has left his physical....left his pain." Details are unclear.
Rest in peace Rammellzee.
