R.I.P. Victor-Pontes Macedo “Mc Exposition”

I just wanted say RIP to my brother and friend Victor Pontes-Macedo, front man of the group “Audible Mainframe” and MC extraordinaire. Back in the days he, Lethal-D and I did an album together called “The Metro.” It was a huge success in the underground Hip-Hop scene and help to build bridges for us across the country. If you would like to listen to it click the album cover below.

Expo had the illest delivery when it came to poetic conscious rap styles. He knew how to rock a crowd. He was also a teacher and mentor for many kids from the streets. My prayers go out to his family who now must deal with the loss of their baby. He died from Cancer a few weeks ago and I had the opportunity to go and see him at his wake. Needless to say it was a very shocking and life altering moment for me. Hundreds of people came to his wake, an obvious reminder of how many people he touched with his music and presence in the world. I will always remember and cherish all the times we shared together, from rocking shows in Allston MA, to SXSW, to tearing down stages in Long Beach. There will never be a rapper who will touch my heart through music the way Victor did. My prayers also go out to his band members and comrades, if you would like to learn more about them go to http://www.theaudiblemainframe.com I think the legacy of his music will always remind us of what it means to truly put your heart into something the way he did. I love you Victor sleep well brother.
