"May my brother Kangol Rest In Heaven."Van Silk and Kangol Kid had been close before the latter's passing. "Early on, we discussed our fight with this disease because my fight with colon cancer is stage 2. He told me it had spread in October," he said before dropping a message for fans, "I encourage all to get your prostate and colon checked."
