The hip hop community is mourning the loss of the legendary party rocker Fatman Scoop.
He was headlining the "Green and Gold Party" in Hamden Ct. last night when he suffered a medical emergency on stage. As he was hyping up the crowd he stepped up to the DJ setup and then collapsed.
There are videos of him collapsing online but out of respect for Scoop and his loved ones, we will not be posting that.
Fatman Scoop has been a member of the JAMZ 96.3 family for a quite some time along with DJ Mr. Vince! Their "Full Throttle" show has been a staple on Friday nights in The Cap City with the station and we are at a complete loss. We would all like to express our most heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
If you've been to any party or club, ever, then you know exactly who Fatman Scoop is. His voice is unmistakable! He was the ultimate hype man and knew exactly how to get any crowd going.
Our "Back in The Day Labor Day Weekend" will now be dedicated to our beloved JAMZ fam member!
Here are a couple of the songs that will help keep his memory alive -
