He created classics. RIP Kashif

Kashif was very underrated. He was a musical genius and doesn’t get the respect he deserves. I’m glad to see someone knows about him and is honoring him. He’s worked with the BEST OF THE BEST! He’s also an amazing artist in his own right. May he continue to rest in power, peace, and love!

I knew his childhood was bad, but I didn't know it was this bad. Poor thing. And Kenny G also owes his career to Barry White, whose orchestra he used to play in. Very interesting.

I love Kashif he is one of the greatest artist,producer and songwriter. His music is always Recognizable he jumped started Whitney Houston,Evelyn Champagne King and Melissa Morgan careers. He was a great R&B artist also my favorites are I just gotta have ya, Are you the Woman,Help yourself to my love, Love Changes and many more. He was very talented, And yes he is A Legend.

Kashif was a genius and very innovative. I believe "foul play" was actually the result of his death. Kashif knew too much, and he was on to too many things that were to expose the music industry, as well as to give artists their freedom to initially own and for them to be in full control of their works.
