...damn man...this shit hurts me a lot.
of all the dudes in the world...mpozi was like the guy who ANYONE could get along with. I mean, I've DJ'd so many shows with him and his generousity and overall vibe is something I'll never forget and have always tried to take with me since we met.
In a town full of haters and conservatives, he managed to show love all the time and he really opened this city up to a lot of culture and art it had previously gone without...through his photos in the Star and his vast knowledge of dub and reggae music.
If there was ever a picture in the paper of some kids with a lemonade stand or something that was uplifting, 9 times out of 10 next to the photo would read "m. tolbert"...he was just a real dude who enjoyed being around and documenting real people.
Damn...man this is fucking me up, for real...that was my boy.
RIP brother, see you when I see you...

Everybody take a minute on this holiday to split a backwoods, fill it with sticky green, and burn one for mpozi...a true diamond in the rough.
