Questlove Instagram – So devastated to hear the news of Sean Lalla’s passing (@elsewheresonido) THE reason Canada got a taste of that real hip hop. He was the ambassador. Throwing the dopest parties. Back when touring was my DNA you always knew you’d do his parties like 4-6 times a year. I mean ANY Canadian institution he was the connect. The way he talked me into doing @nardwuar before it was the coolest honor to have. Or the time he drove us to that ice cream joint to try cheddar cheese ice cream. Or the insane amount of record shopping I’d do FEDExIng boxes back home. Just so sad to hear of his passing. Even when NOT on tour he would check up on you and we’d debate “real hip hop” Man this is not the way I wanted to start my day hearing this news. God bless his family and loved ones and the community of music heads that loved him so for making their weekends so much doper. Thank you Sean Lalla! @elsewheresonido
