Risto Benji Slaughtered

Risto Benji ... long b4 death
Risto Benji.. one of the "rude boys" of dancehall ..way back in the 1980's ..has seen his life put to an end by thugs. Risto Benji was more popularly known for that tune called gi mi the money on that punanny sounding riddim.
Risto was last featured in an article some two years ago.. where the artiste found himself in some desperate circumstances, it was also reported sometime ago that he was beaten by a mob for allegedly stealing a motor bike, well all that now is certainly some by-gones.
Risto will certainly be missed by families and well wishers ..but I really wonder if he will be missed by the current crop of elements in the dancehall music fraternity. If and when I decide to put up that dancehall music museum.. he will be there.
