Justin Riley, finest generally known as “BeatKing,” was pronounced useless on Thursday, August 15.

The information was shared on Instagram by his supervisor, Tasha Felder, who expressed her sorrow: “Thursday, August 15, 2024, we lost @clubgodzilla. BeatKing has been the heartbeat of the club scene for over a decade. He has produced and worked with so many artists that his sound will live on forever. He loved his daughters, his music, and his fans. We will love him forever.”

When a blood clot types in a number of deep veins within the physique, it’s referred to as deep vein thrombosis.

Tasha additional defined to the outlet, “He was at an Urban One (Radio One) station doing a morning takeover when he suddenly fainted… He was taken to a nearby hospital where he later passed away. His daughters were with him the entire time. It is truly sad; we loved him so much.”

BeatKing leaves behind his two daughters, who will keep on his spirit and legacy.
