CHH Family, it is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that our brother in the Lord, Lawrence Anthony Stroman aka DJ Lace (Facebook), one of the Co-Founders of the Higher Ground Record Pool, has passed away and gone to be with the Lord. He died on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 around8:30pm. Many of us are just finding out the news early this morning.

DJ Lace accomplished so many things within and for Christian Hip Hop. His list of credits are far too many to name. If you knew him, you knew a great person. .

On Sunday, April 10th DJ Lace did his last performance with Lecrae as he performed on 11Alive News Metromix Sound Check.

He is survived by his wife Keshia, three children, his mother and father. The Stroman family has asked not to be contacted at this time but to keep them in your prayers, as they are going through this very painful time of loss.

For more details on future arrangements and condolences, please contact Edward Watson aka DJ E Double Uat djedub@Djedoubleu.com or Yohance Mitchell aka DJ Radikal at info@radikal.com.

If any other details emerge, I’ll update this article.

Lace, you will be missed man! Gone too soon…

God bless.

About DJ Lace

dj-lace2

DJ Lace spins the hottest positive, life-changing urban music! Growing up in “the boogie down Bronx” in the 70′s, DJ Lace experienced the birth of a “Hip Hop Culture”. Not knowing that spinning break beats for rappers in the park would later explode into a national phenomenon called “Hip Hop”. “I was there with some of the underground pioneers of Hip-Hop…when they just love to express themselves (freestyle) over break beats”, stated DJ Lace. Known as Larry D, during the 70′s and early 80′s, he spun before thousands in NYC’s hottest clubs, schools & parks before leaving for Georgia to attend college. But relocating to the dirty south didn’t stop “Larry D” from keeping the party going. He quickly became Fort Valley State’s most sought after DJ spinning at Frat parties and local clubs. After giving his life to Christ in the early 80′s and realizing the destructive impact of negative music, he decided to focus on completing his education. Now, reborn as DJ Lace spinning only positive, life-changing urban music, he trains aspiring DJs (Higher Ground Record Pool) and educates youth & young adults about the “true spirit of Hip-Hop”. DJ Lace is the owner of New World Music a retail music store from 1999 to December 2008. New World Music now provides Deejay, Wedding & Entertainment services along with marketing services, database manager & website development. The DJ Lace brand has expanded to DJ Lace TV, DJ Lace Podcast & The Positive Mixtape Series. With Positivemixtapes.com people can now get Christian & Gospel music in the mixtape format!
