Rest in peace MC Skibadee

[splesh]

Jungle and drum & bass have lost one of its most important emcees. Alfonso "Skibadee" Bondzie is dead at age 54. His cause of death is yet to be revealed, but regardless, this is a monumental loss; he was one of the most influential vocalists of his generation.

Sad times indeed.  Saw him plenty of times across 1999 - 2004 and he always rinsed the party.  He knew when to shut up and let a tune do the talking as well which was always a great MC skill!  RIP
