Rest in Power and Peace.

May my condolences bring your family consolation and peaceduring this painful time. 1 Thessalonians 4:14For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.

James Was One Of The Most Remarkable Gentlemen I Have Ever Had The Fortune, And Blessing To Know. He Had Such A Hearty Laugh, And The Warmest Heart. I Will Miss The Rap Sessions, And His Genuine Authenticity. R.I.P.

My condolences to the family and friends. May God provide comfort, peace and endurance to your family today, tomorrow, and always.

My ❤ go out to Benin and the family. I enjoyed the music from Mtume and others he wrote and produced for. I love the knowledge I learned from Open Line. SIH.

Step in The Light dear brother!
Rest in Power!

Thank you for the music and the memories they bring. Rest well.

"You know very well what you are..." with each percussive beat, the expertise you gave in production, you put your soul in all you created. Travel well to the ancestors, thank you Mtume, message well received. This fan remembers.
