Time goes by fast black man and we truly never know when our last day is coming. I appreciated the time we shared and spent from the shows we did together. From the A to Florida, nothing but fun times. Definitely won't forget me and my girl first picking you up at the airport in Orlando, even though you were late (LOL), it was my pleasure to share the stage and turntables with you. Lake Buena Vista and Universal Studios will never be the same after we, along with our other legendary DJ brother Drew (Grandmaster Dee of Whodini) tore it up. Rest easy my man and definite condolences to your wife and family. Peaceful journey and I know you are probably somewhere in heaven still "Walking It Out!" DJ Que out........peace!

I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the family of DJ Unk (Anthony Platt). It's times like this when we lose someone we love, that life can be not only a challenge but also difficult to bear. DJ Unk was a husband, a father, and no doubt a good friend to all who knew him personally and professionally. His genre of music will be part of music history and his song "Walk it Out" is the type of song that would keep you on the dance floor.
May the Platt family find comfort in knowing that God is aware of your pain, and may he give you the strength needed as you continue on this journey of life.
Sincerely,
Jenee Emlyn
