You were a giant, super supreme, top tier lyricist of the highest caliber. A real life hip hop superhero and a personal favorite. Absolutely gutted to hear the news. Condolences go out to his family, friends and fans. 🙏🏻

TE AMO PUERTO RICO! Thank you for coming to see me perform at K Beat Festival. I had an amazing time performing alongside CRAXY, Ted Park and more. It felt good to pay tribute to my brother Chino XL and honor his life on stage. I can’t wait to be back in your beautiful island 🇵🇷
I am still struggling to process this. My brother Chino XL is really gone. You were the first rap legend to praise my lyricism publicly. I’m grateful we got to hang out and work together. But it devastates me to know I’ll never see you again. Love you and miss you big bro 💔

This ones a tough one. I admired Dj Polo as a @hiphopgods PEer. @CHINOXL was my brother in rhyme & Art. He encouraged my graphics forward. We exchanged art books. He looked out to protect my lyric books better. He supported my events. We supported his music & 🙏🏿rt
I’m stunned. I’ve known @CHINOXL nearly 30 years. I can’t believe I’ll never see or speak with him again. We had such a great time that night, as we always did. Wow…
My brother @CHINOXL has transitioned. We were just on the phone a few days ago. Goodbye my old friend. Your music and your friendship gave us a path to peace and wisdom. Your music has changed the world and me, but your beautiful daughters are your greatest legacy.
I talk about the infinity stones and how finding your mc voice is like realizing the power of your gem. Chino XL was a rap super hero. He bodied The Anthem! he bodied the Stu Bangaz project, on a true MC’s never ending quest to find all 5 gems, he bodied the new Rakim joint. RIP
