Today is the birthday of the legendary Reginald Joseph "Reggie" Ossé (July 8, 1964 – December 20, 2017), known professionally as Combat Jack. He was an Haitian-American hip-hop music attorney, executive, journalist, editor, and podcaster. Combat Jack was the former managing editor of The Source, the host of the podcast The Combat Jack Show, and founding partner of the Loud Speakers Podcast network. He was also the host of the Complex TV show version of the Combat Jack Show podcast.

If you aren't familiar with the groundbreaking podcast give it a listen here.

I wanted to share a story of my experience with the man.

It was right around the time the Combat Jack show was going on tour. Probably 6-ish years ago. I had found out one way or another that they did not have a Boston date booked. So I jumped at the opportunity and tried to contribute as match maker, as well as be a part of planning and promotion for the show. This is around the time Lisa Finelli was starting Xperience Creative and throwing shows at the Hard Rock in Boston. I saw that as a possible venue choice and Xperience Creative as the possible promoter and facilitator. I ended up reaching out to Miss Finelli who was all ears and nothing but accommodating. She told me to find out more and showed a little interest. So I played it as she was all in!!
    
I reached out to Mr. Ossé (via email) to let him know we had some interest and that we wanted to discuss some ideas. A couple emails back and forth and then the final email "I'm In!" from the legend himself. That was obviously contingent on all the details working out but it was a dope email to get. He said he wanted to get on a call and chop it up.
   
Needless to say Mr. Reggie Ossé gave me a call, this man did not know me from a hole in the wall. I was obviously not a known name nor had I promised him anything, but he gave me the benefit of the doubt. We chopped it up for at least two hours and kicked around ideas. I had a few things tentatively lined up for the live show portion. We had a back and forth about the guest and he wasn't giving in. I wanted Edo G he loved the idea but nah the first Boston guest had to be Benzino. We agreed to disagree and obviously him and his team would get the final call, but overall it was good meeting and a great talk.  

He was genuine, down to earth, thought provoking, and hilarious. Even though it was a business opportunity for him it was dope he took time out of his day. I ended up talking with his partners as well via email chain and it ended up they had already made deal. So it ended up not working out, but I guess it wasn't in the cards.

It wasn't that deep of a meeting, no crazy story. It really just showed the quality of his character and his love for the culture. I figured its something I should share in celebration of his life.

To carry on his legacy, listen to his show, support a business he was part of (Loudspeakers Network), and show support for his son Chi Ossé (@osse2021 on twitter).

Now go listen to some Combat Jack!!
