Just two years ago, Cali Swag District member Montae “M-Bone” Talbert was killed in a drive-by shooting, and now a second member of the group has lost his life.
Last night, rapper JayAre lost his battle with sickle-cell anemia after he was admitted to a hospital on Thursday night and fell into cardiac arrest.
His fellow group members Smoove Da General and Yung shared their sadness on Twitter:
Sickle cell took my brother away from me today…with that being said I’m proud to know that with that disease he made the best of his life
