DJ Kay Slay recently passed away on April 17 at the age of 55. He died four months after being hospitalized with Covid-19.
Hip-hop promoter Van Silk confirmed the news of the DJ’s death, saying that the world has lost a real dedicated person to hip-hop culture. While speaking to a news outlet, Silk said:
“Hip-hop lost a real gem. My dear brother is gone. I’ve known him since he was 16 years old. He was my little brother. I introduced him to many and we did a lot of things together. We last talked December because we were finishing up the 200 Rolling Deep project. He was gonna do his video part with MC Sha-Rock.”
Also known as Keith Grayson, his biological brother explained in December 2021 how Grayson had come close to death. He said at the time:
“He’s definitely not going to die. That right there…I’m not going to lie, I was jumping around. I was definitely happy. Kay Slay is a private dude and he didn’t tell anybody in the hospital who he was, and we was kinda getting average treatment.”
