R.I.P. Mark the 45 King (A Word is Bond Tribute)

Mark the 45 King passed away at the age of 62. He was a DJ and record producer who made some amazing tracks. Some people know him for one song that he put out under his own name, but he was so much more than a one hit wonder. He produced one of Jay-Z’s biggest hits, has influenced some many other DJs and producers, and even has a huge Eminem song in his discography.

I spin some of his great music here and even include a short documentary clip.

Rest in Peace, Mark the 45 King!
