R.I.P. Tero “CAMU TAO” Smith

All around dope (Ohio by-way-of NYC) MC, Def Jux artist, and underground Hip-Hop mainstay Camu Tao died last week of lung cancer. We all remember Camu from his days in supergroup Megahertz (which also included RJD2 and Copywrite), as they blazed the airwaves on Stretch and Bobbito, as well as many other underground shows and slabs of wax.

Camu went on to form SA Smash with Metro, and became a regular on the Def Jux roster along with C-Rayz Walz, RJD2, and in house DJ Big Wiz.
