Artists Mourn the Loss of DJ Rashad

Artists, friends and family are mourning the loss of Chicago DJ Rashad.

On April 26, DJ Godfather was scheduled to perform with Rashad, along with DJ Spinn, at Detroit’s Inhale Art Expo. However, earlier that evening, he tweeted that sources had informed him that Rashad died earlier in the day from a drug overdose. An official statement from DJ Rashad’s representatives is forthcoming.

A pioneer and integral member of footwork, juke-informed house music characterized by rhythmic complexity and experimental sounds that got its name from the dance style of feet moving at breakneck speed, DJ Rashad released his last LP, “Double Cup,” late last year. In early April, he dropped the EP “We On 1.”
