We learned almost a week ago of the unfortunate death of 28-year-old Rhymesayers rapper/singer Micheal "Eyedea" Larsen. Since then, his closest friends and admirers have come forth with their fondest memories and thoughts of the underground hip-hop stalwart. You can read their messages at the Rhymesayers website and also view information about upcoming events to celebrate Larsen's life. The underground hip-hop label posted the following note on its site:

On Saturday, October 16, 2010, we lost our beloved friend, family member and artist Micheal “eyedea” Larsen at the age of 28. Eyedea, who was most notably known for his music with Eyedea & Abilities, Oliver Hart, Face Candy and Carbon Carousel, was an artist in its truest form. He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. In the days to come, we feel the focus should be on Micheal’s life, music and legacy. Let’s celebrate his life, remember his music and never forget what he has given us all.

There will be a public wake in remembrance of Larsen next week.  The details of the event are as follows:
