“At this time we send our most deepest condolences 2 the family & friends of J-1/Jovan Coleman, who passed in Sweden. Details on his passing are not available at this time. Just know that our brother will be missed deeply. *R.I.P. 2 our brother J-1 (Jovan Coleman) aka THE DEER & drummer of Master Blazter. *We love U sincerely brother & we will always rep U!!”
- Dam Funk

Awoke this morning to the tragic news of Jovan Coleman's passing. Better known to many as J1 aka the Deer was part Benard Purdie, part Incredible Hulk, and part NWA all blended into one, and was one of the nicest OG's in the game - not to mention his talent as a self taught drummer for Master Blazter, producer in his own right & a self made artist true to his work in furthering the funkscape of his adopted city, Los Angeles.

Everyone that knows will miss him terribly. Condolences to his family and friends. Rest in Power Jay, the band upstairs just got a hell of a lot funkier.
