The late DJ Kay Slay will be honored with a street renaming in his hometown of East Harlem next month. On Saturday (July 15), Kay Slay’s brother, Kwame Grayson, announced the news on social media. According to a flier from the upcoming event, Kay Slay, born Keith Grayson, will have East 105th Street and 1st Ave. named after him on August 13, what would have been his 57th birthday.
The New York City event will be hosted by Grayson’s friend and longtime collaborator Papoose, along with the DJ’s Jarrod “General” Whitaker and niece Ladi Kutz. Also invited to the event are LL Cool J, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Tony Yayo and more.
In April 2022, Grayson died at 55 years old following a months-long battle with COVID-19, first shared by music executive Wack 100.
