I really hate typing these things and I feel as though I have typed too many tributes to those who have passed away. I hate it because it hurts and it matters not if you knew the artist or not. These people bring joy and special memories through their music. They use a musical skill that is better than the average person. It makes us smile and laugh or feel sorrowful. It can make you dance an forget life’s problems.

So with that said, WestCoastStyles would like to send our condolences and prayers to the friends and family of San Jose, CA producer Traxamillion who passed away Sunday (January 2). Traxamillion breathed new life into the Bay Area and West Coast scene by helping to introduce the energetic and fun Hyphy sound for artists like Keak Da Sneak and Mistah FAB. No official cause of death has been given however people on social media are blaming cancer. I really hope this is the last one of these kind of tributes that I write for awhile, I’m exhausted.

RIP Sultan “Traxamillion” Banks
