RIP Combat Jack, A True Hip-Hop Renaissance Man
Reggie “Combat Jack” Ossé died on Wednesday morning, just a few months after revealing that he had been diagnosed with colon cancer.
Ossé is best known for his role as the host of the Combat Jack Show, a pioneering hip-hop podcast. The show began in 2010 as an online radio show, before eventually transitioning to a podcast format. Ossé built up a gang of co-hosts, including Aaron “A-King” Howard, Premium Pete, producer Just Blaze, and the internets favorite ‘Lo head, Dallas Penn, among others.
After years of revamps and reinventions, the show boiled down to the format fans most remember: Ossé using his lifetime of experience as a music business insider, and as a hip-hop fan who had grown up right alongside the genre, to get stories out of guests that they wouldn’t share anywhere else.
