A lawyer, historian, culture mover, podcaster, media mogul, the world truly lost a great person in Reggie Osse aka Combat Jack on Thursday morning. The host of “The Combat Jack Show” and CEO of the Loud Speakers Network lost a battle with colon cancer. Osse made the announcement of him being diagnosed with cancer last October.
The Cornell graduate lawyer represented many artists and labels, such as Jay-Z, Roc-A-Fella, Def Jam to name a few. He’d later transition after being one of the managing editors for The Source Magazine to hosting his own dynamic podcast while representing hip hop well.
Osse’s podcast and style of the interview were unique and amazing in the way he was able to tap into the guest and bring the best out of them. He interviews a variety of guest from The Lox, Ice Cube, Jordan Peele, ESPN‘s Bomani Jones, Jemele Hill and Michael Smith, Cardi B, The Game, Joe Budden, Jeezy, Redman, Wyclef Jean, Steve Lobel, Organized Noize, Mike Will Made It, and many more.

For me, personally, catching up with Reggie was a moment to pause and reflect. “https://twitter.com/CombatJackShow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw“>@CombatJackShow</a> three times. each time was like catching up with an old homie who wanted to know what happened since we last spoke; El Flaco (@bomani_jones) “https://twitter.com/bomani_jones/status/943504968824381440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw“
