“Man, this is heartbreaking. Alley Boy’s raw storytelling was legendary. RIP,” a second user chimed in.
“Damn, I just watched the big bank interview with them two. Praying he, Skoob, and Dave are smiling up top. Siri, play When I Die by Alley Boy for me!” a third user remarked.
Alley Boy was 42 at the time of his passing.
