RIP Abe Pollin
From NBC4:The man who brought the NBA and the NHL to the nation’s capital in the ’70s has died.
News4 received the sad news Tuesday that Washington Wizards owner Abe Pollin, 85, has passed away. Washington Sports & Entertainment offered no further details.
“He was just one giant of a man,” Councilman Marion Barry said.
Abe and Irene Pollin have had a profound impact on sports and the community in the D.C. area.
Abe Pollin was born in Philadelphia and moved to the area with his family when he was 8. He graduated from The George Washington University in 1945 and worked for his family’s construction company until he and his wife launched their own in 1957.
Abe Pollin would have turned 86 next week.
Kingpen Slim-Clark Kent is The Capital City Kingpen Mixtape
Created as a segue between the highly successful The Beam Up and the highly anticipated The Beam Up 2, Kingpen Slim drops Clark Kent is The Capital City Kingpen mixtape on 11/13 to capitalize off The Capital City Music Tour he is currently headlining along side XO, K Beta and Lola Monroe. Hosted by DJ J Buttah, it’s called Clark Kent because the material is more “common” as opposed to The Beam Up series where he’s had to turn into “superman in the booth”. With production from Team Demo (50 Cent) J Buttah (Fat Joe) Lionell Davis and 9th Wonder to name a few as well as features from Wale, Edley Shine formerly of Born Jamericans and Whitefolkz among others, this mixtape is sure to keep fans excited for The Beam Up 2’s release sometime in early 2010.
