SFTC: TRAGEDY AS TORONTO RAPPER MATTHEW DAVID "SCRILLA" MODESTE MEMBER OF TRUFAMILY RECORDS SUDDENLY PASSES AWAY!

REST IN PEACE SCRILLA

It is sincerely my regret to inform you that Matthew David Modeste aka "Scrilla" passed away on Monday December 14th 2009. Scrilla was a member and CO-CEO of Tru Family records and was on his way to releasing his album. He died of a diabetic related complication. He was a friend, partner, uncle and son that was loved.

I was very glad to have the opportunity to meet him and the last thing I did with him was pray before they left after the whole group moved me on moving day to the Ottawa region on Sunday, November 8th 2009. He was like a son to me. Gilly, Linkx and my own son all in their 20's and Scrilla all did a good job on that day. A highly talented rapper who will be missed. Pls listen to our fave track of his off the TRU FAMMILION CUT. He was laid to rest in Toronto Friday December 18th 2009. I really miss you Matt! A Facebook group has been set up for him.
