Tributes Pour In For Cadalack Ron

Earlier today (Jan. 23) news broke that Los Angeles emcee Cadalack Ron had passed away. Caddy's friends and fans were quick to post tributes and memories of the man on social media, the most surprising of which came from multi-platinum recording artist Josh Groban, who apparently went to school with Caddy.

RIP to my childhood friend and elementary school classmate Robert Paulson aka @CADALACKRON. A sweet, way too smart kid with a lot to say.

We just don't have words that would matter right now. We lost our brother.
