Dead-Set Ledge Status:
Assured! Not only was he a dead-set basketball ledge and all-round great dude who started a foundation to help amputees afford prosthetics, Big Tizza was also dead-set a damn jazz-bass ledge! That’s, like, four times the ledge! Real shame he passed away in ’09 aged only 44… RIP Big Wayman
