We were all caught by surprise and saddened over the news of Shock G's passing back in April, when he was found unresponsive in a hotel room in Florida. To celebrate his life, remember his contributions to music and give back to the community a full day of festivities is planned throughout Oakland on August 21st. Shock G's family and friends will kick things off by feeding about 2000 unhoused folks in need, in honor of his love to support the community. A motorcade will then reportedly travel to City Hall for a festive memorial celebration with performances, speakers remembering Shock G and more! And you know it wouldn't be a memorial without an after party, which will be a New Parrish. So come out safely, minding your social distancing and check any drama before stepping out to celebrate the life and legacy of Shock G.
