02.09.09 :: R.I.P. Steely
It's with great sorrow that we can inform you that the producer and musician Steely from the duo Steely & Clevie passed away yesterday due to an heart attack in a hospital in Long Island, New York. Wycliffe 'Steely' Johnson was recovering from kidney complications and suffered pneumonia as the heart attack struck him.
Steely & Clevie are among the most repected producers in Jamaica with numerous 12" and 7" released during the last 20 years put out on either their Steely & Clevie label or the equally known Studio 2000 label. They have worked with local stars like Shabba Ranks, Beenie Man, Capleton, Buju Banton - as well is international starts like No Doubt and KRS-1.
Our condolences goes out the the familes and friends of Steely. May he rest in peace!
