DJ Akademiks Says Kollege Kidd Cofounder Ray Autry Died After ‘Overdosing On Hate’

Akademiks Trolls Dead Kollege Kidd Co-founder Ray Autry

Raysean Autry, one of the cofounders of the Kollege Kidd blog died from Covid-19 last year but DJ Akademiks says he died from “hate.”

“One of these is in the dirt, that’s a fact,” Ak said on Twitch.

“Raysean Autry, half of the Kollege Brothers, he died. He died after overdosing on hate. That’s it! I’m sorry to say. I gotta be honest with ya’ll. He didn’t die of COVID.”

He continued, “the n*gga, instead of going to doctor’s appointments, instead of focusing on his health, instead of focusing on family, instead of focusing on anything good — his last moments in life was sending out tweets hating on Akademiks. I was on his mind, it’s very unfortunate.”

Raysean and Richard co-founded Kollege Kidd together in Chicago back in 2011. At the time, the brothers said they launched the platform because “there was a lack of media representation for underground hip hop and especially its young fans – the millennial demographic.”

According to the Kollege Kidd website, the platform was created with the goal to “fill that void by covering talented unsigned and newly signed artists.”

Besides hip hop, Kollege Kidd also covered topics like sports, fashion, animation, video games, television and film.
