Hip Hop journalist Reggie 'Combat Jack' Ossé has passed away. According to Billboard, he was in his early 50's, although it's been reported that he was 48.
In October 2017, Ossé announced that he had been diagnosed with colon cancer, but was optimistic he could regain his health through "chemo and alternative medicine.”
“Your boy aint going nowhere,” he wrote at the time. “We’re gonna keep doing this. Keep rocking with us.”
Ossé was a Georgetown-educated lawyer, who began to blog about music in 2004. He eventually began hosting the popular podcast. "The Combat Jack Show," in 2010.
"He was known as an attorney, but he had the soul of an artist," Chris Morrow, co-founder and CEO of Loud Speakers Network, which produced Ossé's show told Billboard "Reggie's always been a talker. There's a role for that in law. But it really blossomed when he decided to become a creator."
Our deepest condolences go out to Ossé's family and friends.
