May he Rest In Peace, Revolt CEO Roma Khanna said in a statement.

He also briefly served as CEO of the legendary Motown Records label in the mid-1990s.

“He gave you the best soundtracks of your life man and you didnt even know it.

We never gave him his flowers.

He redefined the party!

“Questlovewrote in a lengthy tribute onInstagram.

“Def Jam was the artform.

Bad Boy was the attitude.

Death Row was the muscle.

But without even knowing it?

Uptown was ALWAYS the party.”
