South Florida based singer-songwriter, XXXTentacion, yesterday unfortunately lost his life at the very young age of twenty years old. Our full condolences, prayers, and energy are going to Jahseh Onfroy's family, friends, and the most loyal fan-base we have experienced or seen since we began Holiday of Music.
Jahseh Onfroy, a rising star who has topped the Billboard Charts countless times was pronounced dead yesterday afternoon around 3:00 PM at Fort Lauderdale Hospital. Sheriff's stated he was gunned down during an attempted robbery at a Deerfield Beach motorcycle dealership.
It's important now more than ever to hold on to your loved ones and actually vocalize how much they mean to you. It just seems the past few years we have been losing an abnormally large amount of influencers from all around the world.
XXXTentacion in our eyes, was literally the voice of our generation's youth. Despite current allegations, which majority of artists receive sometime in their career, XXXTentacion was a good man who put his entire being into helping those around him, creating timeless music, and expressing how important art, surrounding yourself with good energy, and positivity is to living a healthy life.
We all know it can be hard to keep up with everything going on but XXX devoted the last year or so of his life to educating himself, organizing charity events, and encouraging the youth the be better, challenge themselves, and constantly strive for the best to truly make a difference in the world.
Being born, raised, and based out of South Florida myself this truly hits home as we have many friends fully involved in X's career and day-to-day life. Enjoy this emotional clip during his last performance which was a surprise set at this year's Rolling Loud Miami Festival below.
If you would like to be involved in any way shape or form, please keep an eye out on local memorials and vigils that will be hosted all around the globe. Jahseh's music will truly live on forever and stand out as a legendary impacting artist that dominated almost every genre of music. Long Live X.
