"Can't believe somebody took you baby bro," adding, "I know I took my anger out on you I wish I could take that shit back"

The actual details of his death are unknown, but it is usually assumed that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Despite his tragic passing, Joseph's legacy as a skilled and renowned artist lives on via the impression he made on those who knew him.
