My name is Brian. 25 years old...lover of music and Hip-Hop. Record collector, drummer, and musician. I know you may not know me or that I may not know you or even Randy. But I feel as if I've already have. I've heard about what had happend to Randy by a really close friend of mine who happens to be Randy's cousin, Ashley. I just want to say I'm deeply sorry for your loss and condolences to you, the family, and close friends of his...even his group. Yes, I am Filipino and a fellow Ilocano just like Randy. As I've heard about him, I've really felt connected to him in some way...and then some. I've felt so connected more to myself, not just an individual or a musician...but also a man. He's got a great, unique personality and quality that I really admire in people. Sadly, there's not enough people like that in the world. He's shined so bright. Done so many great, wonderful, and beautiful things in life and lives spent here...I'm saddened that he has gone. I wish that I've met him...He's just like me--music as a second home. Music being my life. I feel really inspired by him. Not only just a fellow musician and a fellow Filipino, but also that he's paved a way for me, and I'm sure others, that nothing is impossible; A go-getter. I've heard really great and amazing things from him as I was talking to her cousin Ashley. I know she misses him. We all miss him...especially me. It's another blow in life, as we are all connected in some way. It's another blow in the realm of music/artists/musicians...as we are all connected to it. I felt as if we've lost a brother...a friend...that special someone. Though I might not know him, personally, or never had met him...I know that God gave him that talent...that weapon of talent that he's used to give that positivity in life...in others and for himself. He's a humble dude, for sure. I'm sure he has done what he's done, and then some, for the love...and not for that bullshit, like money. Randy's legacy, work, and life will for sure live on. Rest in paradise, brother. My unknown brother...I'll see you when I see you... -B. www.twitter.com/bTilinfinity Hi. My name is Brian. 25 years old…lover of music and Hip-Hop.

We were looking forward to meeting him and the rest of the Bagwis Collective, and enjoying their performance at the United States Social Forum on June 24. Thankfully our lives are enriched by the Collective's contribution to our international, multicultural, multimedia arts compilation FForward Movement.
