R.I.P Chuck Brown

The industry lost another legend today, the “Godfather of Go-Go” Chuck Brown today while the music industry mourns.

The Go-Go genre lost one of their pioneers Chuck Brown after being hospitalized for pneumonia. His musical influences spawned many Hip-Hop samples. Not only was he a hit throughout the DMV (DC,Maryland, & Virginia) area, but the country as well.

His most recognizable hit was the 1978 single Bustin Loose which was successfully sampled in 2002. Nelly‘s platinum selling single Hot In Herre derived from Brown’s Go-Go driven beat

Brown was 75-years-old, he will be missed!
