Fresh Daily - Never Be The Same Ft. PH (formerly PumpkinHead) & Substantial

from Substantial · host Substantial

Produced by Algorythm of The Stuyvesants Lyrics by Fresh Daily, PumpkinHead & Substantial A rare track featuring Fresh Daily, me & my man PH who passed away unexpectedly earlier this week. This song dropped circa 2006 and was originally featured on Fresh Daily's Mad Flavas mixtape. Before reposting it here, the only place I could find this track online was on PH's old Myspace page. Memorial fund for Robert Diaz aka PH/Pumkinhead - http://bit.ly/fundforph Message I originally posted to Instagram 6/10/15 "I moved to Brooklyn in '97 to attend Pratt and to pursue my music career. I quickly became immersed in the Underground Hip Hop scene and eventually met PackFM and later Mr. Mecca and started performing. During that time I saw many talented MCs who were already respected in the scene. One of those was my man, #PH (formerly known as #PumpkinHead). He was a fierce battle MC and made equally dope music. After I copped his 12" vinyl "Wack MCs" I began sharing his music and name with my friends back in PG. At some point he heard me rhyme and told me I was dope in like 98 or 99. Not sure if he knew it, but that moment was a big F**KING deal to me! I had gained the respect of him OBS, Hydra & Jean Grae. Artists I admired and respected were now family. The time I spent with him and the rest of our fam helped me grow my craft tremendously. Beyond rap he was a good man. A family man. In fact, the first conversation I had about balancing life as an MC with fatherhood (before I became a father) was with him on our way to Scribble Jam. He told me that no matter how difficult it seemed, you always find away because you love your family. I'm grateful to have known you brother and will always miss you. My deepest condolences to the Diaz Family and everyone like me who considered you family. #ripPH Breaks my heart to know that your daughter will never meet you but I and rest of your family will do all we can to keep your memory alive. #Salute #ThePlague4Life #StillThrowingMyPsUp"
