Condolences: DJ Kay Slay Dies at 55, After Battle With Covid-19

Very sad news. DJ Kay Slay (real name Keith Grayson) has died at the age of 55. His passing comes four months after being hospitalised with Covid-19.

He passed on Easter Sunday, with the news being confirmed by Van Silk.

Reportedly, he was admitted to hospital in December with Covid.

In December, DJ Slay’s brother Kwame Grayson spoke about his condition as he admitted that the record executive was unwell but was on the mend.

‘He was slowly fading away, but God didn’t let that happen, he told DX at the time.

‘So he’s up and going. He’s like in a recovery state, but he’s definitely not going to die.’

Kay Slay, was a DJ and record executive from New York City. He released four studio albums, The Streetsweeper, Vol. 1, The Streetsweeper, Vol. 2, The Champions: North Meets South (with Greg Street), and More Than Just a DJ.

We send our condolences to his family.
