For those music fans that might not have heard yet, New Orleans hip-hop emcee Bionik Brown a.k.a Nathan Woods died in car crash this week in Denver, Colorado.

Keith Spera wrote a nice obit for him here

A Denver magazine also had a nice piece on him here.

You can check out his music on his myspace page here.

I knew Nate, a.k.a Bionik, personally and though I can't find the appropriate words right now, I can honestly say he was one of the most good-hearted, decent, human beings I have ever met. It is really tragic that he is no longer with us.

Visitation for the funeral starts at 10 a.m. tomorrow at Gideon Christian Fellowship International, 3401 Elysian Fields Avenue. The service begins at 11 a.m.

I worked with Nathan at Public strategies, here was truly one of the best, so kind, funny, smart, whenever I would ask "How are you" he would enthusiastically say "Living the dream" always so happy and positive, unbelievable that he is gone!

He's my nephew and I'll miss him. Sorry I never got to say good-bye. First my brother in 2005 now his son. I think we've all learned something from this.
