Hip Hop Legend Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys passed away earlier this month after a battle with Pancreatic Cancer at the age of 52.
His family has started a GoFundMe page to help with expenses and his surviving four children’s financial well-being.
Stacy Robinson, the creator of the campaign, wrote:
“This is the official fund established in honor of the late Richard Shaw, better known as Bushwick Bill. This was created in response to the hundreds of people that have reached out and inquired about how they can help, as well as to combat the recent fake/unauthorized memorial events being promoted and claiming to donate proceeds to the family. ALL donations will be contributed toward his family’s expenses, as well as carry out Bill’s final wish that his 4 kids are financially taken care of. Whether you’re donating or sharing this page, we thank you, and we appreciate your support.”
Born Richard Shaw, the Jamaica native made up the legendary group along with Scarface and Willie D. Together they put Houston on the map with such hits as “Mind Playing Tricks on Me” and the transcendent “Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangster”
