In the midst of the tears and mourning, let’s take a moment to celebrate the talent and music Chris Lighty influenced. Started in the 90’s, with co-founder and ex-president Mona Scott, Violator Management was instrumental in some of our favorite tracks, artists and brokered a few of the most lucrative sponsorship deals in Hip-Hop, including 50 Cent and Vitamin Water.

Lets remember Chris Lighty by enjoying some of the music he had a hand in bringing us:

LL Cool J – “I Need Love”

Missy Elliot – “I Can’t Stand The Rain”
