Anybody out there have Attorney General Michael Bryant's cellphone number?
• MISSISSAUGA • A young rapper who called himself Tactix and who rhymed about violence on the streets was killed in an apparent stabbing early yesterday at a townhouse.
The 24 year old man, whose non-street name was Jermaine Alexander Malcolm, poetically listed his hometown as SCARTOWN on
his MySpace page... street slang for Scarborough.
"He was a good guy," a friend of Malcolm said near the crime scene yesterday. "He was one of my best friends, yo. He was a young guy, yo, he didn't deserve this shit."
Perhaps it would be more fitting to remember to remember the multi-talented Tactix in his own words...
"Im here to be herd(sic) and it will be DONE!!! IM A TORONTO/ SAUGA /SCARTOWN/UPTOWN/DOWNTOWN GRITTY CITY RIDA G.T.A. CANADA WIDE REPPEN U.S TO DA THE WORLD IN FULL EFFECT TACTIX BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

FROM THE COMMENTS:"Congratulations to Jermaine for living the dream."
UPDATE: Surprise!!! There's a
retail pharmaceutical angleIt may have been a stab wound to the chest that killed wannabe rapper Jermaine Malcolm but it’s drugs that are behind the death, Peel police said Sunday.
“There is a drug angle to this,” Const. J.P. Valade said, adding Malcolm, who used the stage name Tactix, was “very well-known” to cops in the region.
Valade would not comment on whether Malcolm had any gang ties but his MySpace website makes several references to the Meadowvale Bloods and MDV (Money, Drugs and Violence).
