Damn... so young, and by such tragic means.

For those of you who haven't heard this before, this is one of his originals. (No relation to the MJ album). I discovered this song years ago while reading up on the lesser-known Invincible collaborators. I listened to it constantly; it's such a smooth throwback to early 2000s R&B, sung by someone with a vastly underrated voice. Funnily enough, I threw it on in the car two or three weeks ago out of the blue.

Check it out, and play it loud for LaShawn. Rest in peace.
