Big Ship Family Devastated by Death of Craig Dennis

fsyD05F.jpgUpcoming reggae/dancehall artist Craig Dennis died Friday Morning, August 3rd, 2007. According to reports Dennis was partying at the Asylum night club and left shortly before his death at around 4:00am when the motorcycle he was riding crashed into a parked car.

Dennis was a member of the Big Ship Music Family and had his biggest hit to date on Stephen McGregor's 'Power Cut' Rhythm entitled 'Real Bad Man no Talky Talky'. Freddie McGregor stated that the Big Ship Family is truly devastated by the untimely death of a son & brother and our condolences go out to his family, primarily his mother and his children.

Craig was in the process of finishing his album which featured tracks produced by various producers including Stephen & Yeshemabeth Mcgregor, Delly Ranks and Father Romie from Exodus.

Craig Dennis was my blood, my favorite cousin.I am very sad to see him go out like that, as is his mom,grandma, brother, uncle, aunt, fiance and the five and three year old sons he has left behind. We appreciate your condolences in our time of grief, and we also hope that you all do learn from this. Although Craigy was not drunk and it is false allegations that he was drinking Hennes, he should have been wearing a helmet. Who knows, maybe we would not be here now mourning him. Maybe if the driver of the car was not so reckless in his driving (not the parked car,obviously!yuh fool fool or what, I'm talking about the car that pulled out and Craig swerved to avoid). Anyway he is gone and with all being said, today is August 13th and his mom have yet to hear from or see any member from the Big Ship Family, the Alliance Crew, or the Kartel, I guess in the end they never really considered Craigy as they said "a son and brother". And to make matters worse the so-called good samaritans that rushed Craigy to the hospital, decided to help themselves to the money he was just paid for the show he did earlier, they helped themselves to his jewelry, his phone and for God sakes, even his shoes, and that's real talk, cause the doctor and the nurse told us who brought him in and that those two, were the ones to take his personal effects. "Mi like Craigy, mi git up an baax dung unu nasty blood....." I guess all dem can do a "talky talky" to media, but when it come down to the much needed help, and the real hugs and kind words for his mom, who might I add is in a very bad way, due to her horrendous loss.And his sons and their mother,I suppose that is too much to expect from the "real bad man" dem. I guess the real bad man dem just "walky walky". Again, thank you all for your sincere condolences, and I hope you all will continue to pray for and with us, during our time of grief, and we thank you, kindly.

Brothas and sistahs please, be respectful during this period...for his mother's sake! Craig was my friend, a good man, a father and a great artist who had so much more to give the world. There are people who are sincerely sorry to see him go and I am one of them.

Neve, we were also told that none of those so-called "friends and mentors" you mentioned have gone to pay their respects to his mother. Shame on them! For those of you who care, his family needs your support to help with burial expenses. Link up with his manager through his myspace page for details. The services are this weekend.

R.I.P. Craigy...I will miss your sunny smile and great sense of humor.
