Read the full statement below.
“I would like to thank everyone for their condolences during this unexpected difficult time for myself, the group Above The Law, as well as our families and close friends. I had received a phone call Friday night, July 6th, that KMG had collapsed in the shower from an apparent heart attack, but that fact is to be determined after we get the autopsy report. There was no foul play involved and my dear friend KMG’s death was simply by natural cause. It is shocking and tragic to all of us because he showed no symptoms that he was suffering from any type of heart disease or any type of other illnesses. Plus, I was just on the phone with him and Total K-OSS a few days prior discussing the new Above The Law album and my upcoming solo release with Psychopathic Records. We were further discussing, as Above The Law, it was time to move on the with the project and were coordinating plans to do so; then this had happened. I also would like to thank everyone for their patience in me responding to media and other close online publications. KMG and I, as you all know, go way back since the best years of Ruthless Records and prior. He has been my right hand man along with Total K-OSS and his abrupt passing was just totally unexpected and shocking to all of us. I personally have been in a daze since receiving the news and I just needed some time to myself and to put things back into perspective so I can re-focuse on the commitments and obligations I have to music and Hip-Hop. If I hear anything else that our fans need to know, I will indeed inform the powers to be and get that information out to everyone. Once again, thank you everyone for your caring concerns and the love you still have for KMG, myself, and Above The Law after all these years. And as with Eazy, we will continue to keep his memory and legacy alive through music.” – Big Hutch

Tone it down or you’re gonna drop before your balls will, bet you’re real quiet when you bump into real dudes on the streets.
Rest in peace KMG.
Exactly. Bunch of faceless trolls with nothing better to do. They don’t even believe the shit they type. Just simply need the attention their mommies never gave them.
what the hell is wrong with sum ppl ?!? messed up.
This retard stay dissin Hutch specifically. He’s also Fuck Pomona too. He think we dont know who he is but we got that. Keep up the good hate buster. You make yourself look so smart just hating without cause. Another is so disturbing about some of you on this page is that you dont even have a fraction of consideration to Hutch or ATL. They deserve RESPECT from thier so-called fans. Hutch gave his fans a statement about KMG & the future of ATL now that he’s gone. He didnt have to give yall shit. He told you he discussed all projects with his ATL brethen who are in support of all their music ventures because it’s always an Above the Law presents album. Even if it’s Big Hutch. You dont even support that. He cant please you blogging, non supportive retards who never kept with thier records pass Uncle Sams Curse. Your lame to the game & just dick ridin Fans also buy records. After all they have had to endure, Above the Law gave you 22years of Above the Law music. Always came with what they started with. That innovative, on the edge, gangsta shit that no one could duplicate. And I know Big Hutch, Total K-OSS & My brah Kokane will continue doing so. Peace to J and ICP for being real support & friends when all these so called West Coast Legends wouldnt even look out for a group that brought them in the game. Aint no west coast unity..It’s some succa shit going on in the west. That’s why AINT NO WEST COAST MOVEMENT. Yeah I said it…Hate on the truth bitches…

I Will miss KMG. I was listening to cold 187um”s fresh out the pen and all of my ATL collection the other night.. i was thinking ..man they need a new joint.. i couldnt get enuff of the real G Funk.. Love KMG with those deep baritone spitz.. tha brotha was raw.. GOD Bless KMG the way he use to spit and bounce off cold 187um raps…there will never be another combination like that in the rap, hip hop, or underground music … GOD bless his family and lets celebrate KMG and the gifts my brotha left us …R.I.P.. Peace Brotha Drew D.A.D.
