Veteran musicians such as 9th Wonder, Bryan-Michael Cox, Flavor Flav and Jeymes Samuel also paid their respects to his dynamic artistry.
The pioneering R&B neo-soul singer and seduction artist hadn’t released an album since 2014. Still, his longtime friend and collaborator Raphael Saadiq recently hinted he was back in the studio.
