We lost a huge contributor to the Tampa Bay Music Community and we had to pay tribute to a man who showed so much love: Kenan "Kenosobi" Hercules. Keno was full of love and support and notorious for his smile. Music was his outlet for greatness and he was an amazing Producer, Drummer and Hip-Hop Artist. As good as he was at music he was even better at life. He was a caring Father, a loving Son, a loyal Brother and a dedicated Husband. He was selfless and stoic and he’s going to be missed. We talked to some of the people who knew him best and shared some of his music during this tribute. If you want to donate to the family you can visit their official GoFundMe: https://gofundme.com/kenosobi. We held off on the BayWatch for this week to pay homage to our friend.Make sure you tune into WAVES OF THE BAY Saturday nights from 10-Midnight on FM Radio 88.5 in Tampa, at www.wmnf.org or on the WMNF Application.
