The sad news of the passing of talented Gangsta Rapper Noose have reached the Sleepy Hollow camp. Joe Dell will speak a few words. "Well, yeah, it was a complete shock and saddening. Noose, for those who don't know him, was a very talented rapper from Paterson New Jersey....the city I was born in. He was represented by my good friend AD. I was introduced to Noose at the Salah Edin on Main St in Paterson. Noose was a young, tall, slender Middle Eastern man with class and personality. He was working on a project and wanted to use live musicians, so Junior and myself were asked to lay down guitar and Organ. We were happy to do so. So, we went to Noose's studio in JC where we were treated like royalty by Noose. His whole crew was kool, including his brother Omar. Junior and I were treated to drink, smoke, anything we desired. I mean, it was hard core. After we laid down the tracks we would run into Noose now and then, but it has been a while, especially after my accident. I'll miss Noose, God rest his soul."
