I’m in disbelief… still desperate to think this is part of an elaborate prank. That seems like something he’d do, right? The truth is, no matter how desperate I am to not believe it, my friend Oliver has passed away.

Oliver was such a unique soul, he had an ability that was unmatched by anyone else I know; to make friends in all corners of the world. Sincere friendship too, not just internet friendships of convenience.

He was one of the funniest people I’ve ever known. His style of self-deprecation was universal. Every media appearance he’s ever done was hilarious, refreshing and unique in a way that only he could bring.

He was a true artist, in every sense of the word. Everything he brought into the world, he brought with his true self. Every time he would come on our show, it would involve weeks of lengthy conversations of planning and brainstorming. Ordinary was never an option. It had to be the best possible appearance. And it always was. 

Music and film were his true passions. He produced every music video, every song with every ounce of his soul. He spent every dime to bring his vision to life. He had no use for money beyond what it could do to improve his art. He used to laugh about how he annoyed his label because he was always hitting them up for cash advances for his next big project. 

His support team was composed of his childhood friends, proof that he was the type of person that was fiercely loyal to those he loved. The type of genuine person that kept the same friends for life. And he was always adding more and more friends along the way.

He spent the last year traveling the world. Traveling across every inch. Visiting places I would never dream of going. He wanted to know the world and all its people, all the different types of ways people lived, so he could become an even more profound artist. I could see him evolving, growing, maturing, and the essence of what he collected was clear: love, friendship, art. All the things that transcended borders and time. Last we spoke, he was planning to go to Antarctica. 

“I totally get it if you can’t but it will be really special and would mean the world if you came through! Would love to see you both.”

That was the last thing he ever said to me. He was having an album release party. We didn’t make it.

Everything he touched was better for it. Every person he met was more whole for it. As a person, I’ve lost a dear friend and collaborator. But the real tragedy is that the world lost a true artist, a passionate and gifted story teller, and a radiant light that shined upon so many of us. His light is now extinguished and my life, and the world, is darker for it. 

I hope I can be more like Oliver Tree when I grow up. Bon voyage, my friend. See you on the other side. Life goes on and on and on without you.

Nobody who’s finding music themselves is claiming music is bad right now. Music is repetitive to you because you’re only following what’s mainstream. Either way, the solution is simple. Stream emerging artists

[uncommonblin 🎵 @uncommonblin]

not being able to make the kind of music you listen to

[yir @bedroque00]

one of the most important albums of all time and thats not an exaggeration

Anyone that gets mad at the notion of Freddie Gibbs having a better discography than Cole simply doesn’t know Hip Hop lol

[The Hidden One @TheHiddenOneAC]

Resident Evil 9 releases in less than 3 weeks, and there are people who want to play it but can't buy it. So I’m doing a giveaway of the game for STEAM only, cos I feel nice, and it's always the best feeling to give back.

All you have to do is:
- Like
- Retweet

That's it. No need to follow me. The giveaway ends February 21st. Good luck 👀

J Dilla putting his last breath into his last body of work makes me emotional man.

[MARCO PLUS @notmarcoplus]

why didn't anyone tell me that producing your own music is either the most liberating thing ever or the most depressing experience you could put yourself through? no in between???

[🧊BARLOGICAL🧊 @barlogical]

How I listen to Boldy James monotone raps over looped beats and not get bored and then turn on Cole switching flows and beats banging and get burned out baffles me now

[🔛🔝 @killingherass]

retweet if you actually just fucking hate AI

[Olmate Ubafest @OlmateUbafest]

World at War had real footage of people being executed in its mission intros and Black Ops 1 was about MK Ultra btw
