On his site, Premier posted, “His sister is taking care of everything. Press release is coming later today. He’s now home ok, but he’s in need of surgery which you can help him pay it. I’ll post if there are any more updates. Hip Hop is so beautiful… Thanks to everyone for the love… Kool Herc is a trending topic!”
UPDATE:
Some good information on Herc’s situation from the NY Times.
Bobby Robinson was one of the first producers who put hip hop on wax. I was sad to learn of his passing today.
