Two years ago today  Tero "Camu Tao" Smith died after a grueling battle with cancer.  He was a friend, a son, a brother, a groom to be and last but not least a brilliant producer, singer, rapper and entertainer.  Words can not express the heartache that has been felt in the wake of his passing by those who loved and respected him. 

For two years i have written about Camu on this day.  Not a day has gone by that we, his family, friends and fans, haven't thought about him.  About who he was, what he did and what he never got the chance to do.  About the talent he never got to truly share with the world and the love he did.  For over four years i have hoped to make the following bittersweet announcement:

This summer, on August 17th, Camu Tao's first and final solo album KING OF HEARTS will be released by Definitive Jux in collaboration with Fat Possum Records.  In conjunction with this release we will also be giving away (for free) the 2005 Central Services (Camu Tao and EL-P) ep "Forever Frozen In Television Time".
