We're all together in this world. People become friends, friends become memories, memories last a lifetime. Now if you guys know me, you know I'm a loner and don't keep as much company as I used to. Friends are very few and far between nowadays, and two days ago, I lost one of my closest people I can truly call my friend. Ryan Cutchins, age 33, died of a heart attack and it has taken a huge toll on me. I just found out today (Saturday) and this shit hurts like I keep reliving Thursday. We met via craigslist and instantly became good friends. We had a 10 year age difference but that never stopped the good times from rolling like they always did whenever I stopped by his crib. From the dope conversations about music to the never ending convos about the good greens and fire trees, my nigga was just the shit all dat. He had a swag like a chill hippie with the voice of a surfer and the laugh of Seth Rogen, mixed with the always welcoming and friendly personality that everyone grew to love. He constantly showed me love on my muzik, shooting tips and pointers as well as personal input, helping me develop a style that would set me apart from the rest with ease. I'm an avid Kid Cudi fan, and one day I wore one of my Cudi t shirts over to his apartment and it sparked an hour long conversation lol. Man Ryan, I swear nobody done it, did it or will do you it like you my nigga. You helped me out when friends were invisible and family turned their backs, and I hate that I can't repay you homie. We had plans to take off and demolish the music industry and keep you on deck for every event I had coming my way (I mean catering by the best chef in the city? It goes without saying that we were gonna be in business together lol.) I guess it's just crazy how so a cool ass person could be gone just like that. I just spoke to my boy this past Monday, just three days before he passed and everything seemed fine. The Lords has mysterious ways of putting people in your life who you'd never expect to be around let alone be best friends with, but Ryan was one of a kind and I promise he will truly be missed by me and mines. I know he's in the Cloud Castle in the sky, kickin back to some Cudi with a smile as big as the sun is bright. Chillin like a king. Rest In Peace homie. I promise I'll take this music as far as I can take it and dedicate each and every performance to you bro. Til we meet on the other side my nigg, keep lookin out for ya boy...
