 Timbuktu ( @djtimbuck2 ) one of the most talented and Gifted DJs EVER! His legend Is here and will be here. I got to know him as a DJ and a friend. I've had some of my best experiences listening to music out at a venue or club with him on the tables. I just wanna say that brother is special and will be missed. And will always be held in high regards. To his family and loved ones, I send my love and prayers. And to Chicago and abroad, we birthed and witnessed a Great One! GOD Bless His Soul. Love.
