Planet Pit Decade Recap - The Tragic Death of Miami's Legendary Dj Uncle Al

Monday afternoon, Sept 10th 2001, one of Miami's beloved rap Dj's, Albert "Uncle Al" Moss, answered a knock at the front door of his North Miami duplex--home to the pirate station 98.7 FM. On his doorstep were three men, reportedly from a Broward based pirate broadcasting on the same frequency. There had been several incidents of signal interference between the two stations with a resulting exchange of threats. This time it went beyond words. According to eyewitnesses, the three men drew pistols, shot Moss to death, and then drove off. They remain at large...RIP Uncle Al

I can say that I had the pleasure of going to one of Uncle Als parties during black beach in 1994 at the ocean center hotel. City boy djs had collaborated with sugar hill and man it was a treat that I will neve forget. I was shocked when he had perished in the hands of some ungrateful people. He will live on within all the people that embraced him personally and musically. RIP Uncle Al.

That's so sad. Black people always cry out racism, inequality, and injustices of the world whether it's past or present; but we have no regards for one another and don't value our own lives or the lives of our fellow "brothers and sisters". It's terrible. And to think these people will never be caught
