RAPPER'S ALBUM IS DRUGS WARNING
RAPPER Tony Horton was up against danger every day growing up on the mean streets of South Central
LA.
The tough-talking hip hop artist soon learned how to cope with losing friends to drugs or gang
warfare.
But it was the death of a 15-year-old Scots schoolboy that led him to his biggest challenge yet.
And the result is a hard-hitting new rap album which warns against the dangers of drugs.
Tragic teen DJ Craig Stirling left behind a huge archive of his own music and remixes after dying
from an ecstasy overdose in 2007.
The teenager, from Dalry, Ayrshire, collapsed on the street after taking the drug.
After his death, heartbroken parents Gordon, 49, and Jennifer, 50, could only listen to the
recordings and mourn for their son's wasted life.
But then a chance meeting between Tony - who moved to Scotland two decades ago - and taxi driver
Gordon changed all their lives.
Tony, 46, said: "I was taking a cab home one night and the driver started telling me about his son's
music.
"I said I'd like to meet him and maybe collaborate. That's when he told me he'd passed away from
ecstasy. It just hit me right there, man."
Tony, who's now based in Glasgow, pulled a few strings with music industry pals.
The result is the four-track CD Craig From The Grave, which blends Craig's remixes with original
music by Tony and rapper B4.
Tony first came to Scotland as a professional basketball player in the 1980s.
Since then he has combined community hip hop projects and basketball clinics for disadvantaged
youngsters with remixing and radio voiceovers.
He said: "I've made mistakes and I've lost people through drugs but Craig From The Grave is not
glorifying doing anything bad.
"It's just bringing it up so the kids can look in the mirror and say, 'Right, how can I change
myself?' " Gordon, Jennifer and Tony have formed the Craig Stirling Trust, which they hope to
register as a drugs awareness charity following the release.
Tony's pals, top Scots record producers Duncan Cameron and Ian Morrow, weighed in with their support
by remastering and marketing the record.
Duncan, who has produced Travis and Teenage Fanclub, said: "I was happy to help out. It's a very
worthwhile project."
Ian, who's produced Wet Wet Wet, added: "I have kids myself and the message and the story about
drugs is one I've told to them."
The CD is being promoted on Kerchoons.com, Ian's new online music platform and released on Tony's
Imperial Shotgun label.
Ian added: "Any proceeds will be ploughed back into the trust. We'll be supporting and pushing the
record."
Mum Jennifer said the project had given her hope and strength to carry on.
She added: "I can still hear my boy's voice in the music and I still feel I'm able to do something
for him.
"If he was here now he's probably turn around and say, 'This is the business, man!'
"I can't thank Tony enough for what he's done
I shall try to have music from the cd on GTS soon, anyone interseted in purchasing a cd is welcome
to contact me through pm
Love to you all x

Dear God above take away this pain
I wonder how long it has to remain.
The tears are flowing, the pain is bad
You took from me the one love I had.
If you're up there listening to tonight
Then please show me the guiding light.
Just lead me up on a star from above
So that I can once more give him my love.
So when my time comes and I close my eyes
I will drift on that star to my love in the skies.

Letter From Heaven
To my dearest family, some things I would like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this letter from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and he said, " I welcome you, It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on. I need you here badly, your part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, all those loving years. Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, If I were to tell you, you would not understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over. I am closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb, But together we can do it by taking one step at a time. It was always my philosophy and I would like it for you too, That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, Then you can say to God at night, " My day was not in vain." And now I am contented that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free. Remember you're not going... you're coming here to me. By Anon xx Sent With Love xx

Yet I'm standing next to you.
