Being based over here I never had the pleasure of meeting Justo Faison, nor attending the mixtape awards show which he had founded and organised for an impressive 10 years. It's thanks in part to Justo whose tireless work at upping the mixtape ante and pushing its promotion means we now have 50 Cent and Fab selling millions and, hopefully, heads like Sway set to follow suit. In a strange twist of fate, www.sohh.com had recently interviewed Justo for their Player Watch column - check it out and if there's ever a warning that life can be taken away when you least expect it....
Justo Faison died in a car crash in Virginia on the 14th May 2005.
