I'm in Japan (Remembering My Brother Jax)

In 2003, Jax, Phife and I travelled to Japan for the 'Smokin Needles Japan Tour. It was a pleasure going over there with Jax and seeing how excited he was to be in Japan. All he kept saying was, 'I'm in Japan'. Almost like trying to tell himself over and over that it was true. With the hardships of being on tour, early flights..lost luggage and occasional language barriers, none of that seemed to matter while Jax was around..he made jokes out of everything, and kept the tour fun and light.

I miss him dearly, and count myself blessed to have crossed his path.

Thank you Jax Forever King.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Jax.

But my extended family respects and loves the man... so he has my respect and love.

He seems like a good dude with good energy.

RIP brother.

"I don't see no fat people, and I don't see no Black People!" HAHA! Jax had a sense of humor like none other. Like exactly what was on his mind. Work ethic was CRAZY too. Remember hearing the stories about Japan, GREAT to finally see the footage after all these years. Rest In Power Big Jax!! Binkis 4 Eva. Jax Forever King!
