MIDAS TOUCH

I was 19 years old. It was May 22, 2004. Sitting at the couch watching t.v.  with this chick. She ask me to call her cousin who happens to be a friend of mine.... This phone call changed my life forever. I paced back and forth waiting a response. Only hearing what the streets were talking. That was so like Midas. He always told me "The streets are talking homie and I'm listening." He was a quiet dude but when he spoke he was humble and genuine. As an artist and a writer I always had my doubts. and I remember when i was 16 I moved up to Jersey and I had a chance to talk to him on the phone. He asked if i've been writing and i told em yeah listen to this verse. When I finished he didnt quite give me the response I was hopin for. Then one day 6 months later in miami there's a group of us talking about music and he's like "yo D spit that crack you had let me hear over the phone." Kinda caught me off gaurd that he even remembered my first line. He always be here in spirit and he will forever be missed. The Song Has Ended But The Melody Lives Forever 730 For LIFE. For some people 730 is only an expression for crazy or gang affiliation. We were never a gang, We were just growing up in this crazy world. We had sense of family when we got together for a house party or bbq. We would help Midas set up the turn tables and speakers. He's pop open a guinness and start spinnin records. He always had a reggae mix that he can play long enough to go light one up. At a young age he always had a vision for success. Success that we will all be able to share. That is my main goal in this life and maybe the next one. 730 La Familia RIP Midas Touch, Peace

  1. That's some real talk Dezy. Loved ones are never forgotten, only remembered through great memories... Glad to hear a story about him. No matter how long it's been, I still have a clear and vivd image in my brain of my brother Marcus.
