"Hip Hop has lost one of its most important historians and voices...we had serious ups and downs but I was so happy we had made things good...Rest In Peace to my friend Combat Jack...," Rosenberg wrote.

"Internets, what's up? It's your man Combat Jack. In 7 years of podcasting, I've never missed an episode. I got hit with some real life sh*t. I was recently diagnosed with Colon Cancer. I was rushed to the hospital, had some pretty severe surgery. I'm on the mend right now. I'm about to jump on this journey to health with chemo and alternative medicine. Take care of your health. Your boy ain't going nowhere though. We’re gonna keep doing this. Keep rocking with us. #RaiseTheBar #CombatCancer Let's Go!"
A former hip-hop music attorney and executive, as well as the former managing editor of The Source, Ossé, led the Combat Jack Show podcast alongside co-hosts Dallas Penn, Premium Pete, DJ Benhameen, AKing, and Just Blaze.
