George Darko really deserves a well-written tribute on one of our mainstream websites.

The only merit of some of these deaths after fulfilling lives is the chance to learn more about the impact they had on the culture. pic.twitter.com/JW8Umai8F0

Woke up this morning and the song that kept playing in my head was Akoo te brofo, by George Darko and the Kantata band in Germany. Sad to hear he’s passed on. May his legacy lives on
