Although Marlon Brandoe of the Sporty Thievz was killed by a drunk driver earlier this year, he will live on through his music. The remaining members of the Sporty Thievz plan to release a double album, Sporty Thievz Forever, on Stealburg Records, the groups independent label. The second disc will be Brandoe solo effort, The Holy Soldier. Group member Dubez says the group plans to keep Brandoe’s music alive because, not only was he talented, but he had a newborn son, Marlon Jr., who needs financial support. "Marlon lives on through his brand new son Marlon Jr., and will forever live on with and through Sporty Thievz," Dubez said. Brandoe joined the Thievz in 1996 and was a founding member of the group. Editor’s note: During an on-air freestyle on New York’s Hot 97, the Thievz were nothing but fire on the mic and we were very impressed with the heat that came scorching through the speakers. Whew!
