Even after all these years, I still can not believe that Jeff is gone. What words can I say about someone who was so genius in his craft? Words can't express how much he meant to me. We recorded so many songs together for so many years, the music productions was off this planet and our chemistry was epic. I still dream of us recording in the studio and in those dreams the music is always on other levels and so are the lyrics. Jeff introduced me to all the big hip hop stars back in the day and...

I'm sad to hear of Jeffrey's passing, I was introduced to his music when I found a Devious Steve album in a record store years ago. I used to love listening to that album growing up. Come to find this page and it is strange that he actually passed on my birthday. May you rest in peace JVAL

I order to be a star, I need to look like one. He is playing with the angels now.
Aug. 3 would have been my friends 54 Birthday. Distractions of life get in the way, but any time I think about him I can't help but just wish I could call him, or that we could laugh and joke just one more time. The music sure helps but it isn't the same thing. Miss you Brother, RIP Jeffrey Elliott aka JVAL
