This past Friday MMG’s Stalley shut the 330 down with his videoshoot for his brand new single, “Swangin”. People wondered if he would be able to get Rozay himself to make an appearance and he DID! Right in the heart of Massillon, Stalley showed out with the Boss right beside him. This was a great look for Ohio. Check out Ross in the Cleveland fitted. Pics from the shoot below…

The homie, Heff, was also in attendance.

Yesterday (5/24) Paul Jackson a.k.a. Peso was laid to rest in a beautiful service at Pentecostal Church of Christ in Cleveland. Peso was most known due to his close friendship with Ray Jr. and the Legit Paper family. Paul passed due to complications from Sickle Cell. The city mourned Paul and celebrated his life. After the funeral friends and family gathered to have drinks and kick it in Peso’s honor. 

He was buried at the legendary Lakeview Cemetery. The cemetery houses the famous James A. Garfield Memorial. In addition to the president, Lakeview Cemetery is the final resting place of John D. Rockefeller, Eliot Ness, and Carl B. Stokes just to name a few.

I didn’t know Paul personally but I was touched by the fact that he lost his life to illness at such a young age. He touched many lives. Prayers to his family and my Peso rest in peace.
