I promise that i have been keeping u alive thru the music that u left with us. Soulja u are as real as it can get. From morning to night i listen to your music over and over i guess that's my way of having u here. It's so hard to believe that your gone. It doesn't seem real it can't be. I love u and respect u for keeping it real and living your life the way that u were satisfied with living it. Much love and respect to your family and i know that your music will forever be played and u will live thru it. U left us with a lot of knowledge and for that i thank u for that. U kept it real and told it how it was I love U for what u have done and for what will come in the future u changed the game and they couldn't take it. The typical hater wouldn't understand your music but i do and i know that everything happens for a reason and i know that u will hold it down up there in Heaven. A Soulja true to his heart and the game.

I'll never forget the first time that I heard Slim's music on my first visit to the N.O. It really did something to me, and I never looked at music the same. My fam and I copped a cd before we left and listened to it the entire 14 hour drive home. Though I never knew him personally, I can say that his realness truly affected me and he will be missed greatly by all.

To Ms. Linda and the family of Souja Slim,



Out heartfelt sympathy goes out to you during this time of your loss. I did not know you son but as a mother, I can feel you pain. When I told my 13 year old daughter the news of his death, she said" He had gotten his life straight and was on the big road to stardom". I told her that he may be gone but he is in heaven rapping to the angels and God. God had some work for him to do there, so when you get down, count on God. He will see you through. God's word says that " weeping may endure for a night but, joy comes in the morning". I am a friend of Kim Adams "16" and my husband knows you from years back. We are praying for you.

"We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord"

(2 Corinthians 5:8)



May you keep your heads up in your time of sorrow. Soulja will never be FORGOTTEN. His music inspired a lot of young people especially young men, to inspire them that a rose can grow from concrete, and for every action there are consequences and a lesson, unlike other rap atrist. Soulja was way ahead of the game, and will be remembered as one of the GREATEST OF ALL TIMES. Soulja will be forever kept in the hearts of the whole rap game.
