Carlton Grant Snr., known across the world as Spragga Benz and Sharon Gapoor, today accompanied their son Carlton Grant Jnr. on his final journey.

Laid to rest this morning at a funeral that was very well attended, Carlton Junior, lovingly named Carlyle/Different, was placed in a closed casket with only some family members viewing his body an reacting in utter disdain.

Such a s****er occasion it was, as is always the case when a community is faced with the premature passing of its youth. Facial expressions seemingly questioned the tragedy that unfolded at his time of death and the uncertainty of it all resulted in an intensely agonizing aura permeating the entire proceedings.

Weeping openly and even uncontrollably at times, family and friends filed into Our Lady Of Angels Church on Molynes Road at 10:00am. The church quickly filled up with many representatives from the Jamaican and global music fraternities in attendance, including: Nadine Sutherland, Clyde McKenzie, Assassin, Carlene Smith, TOK, Richie Stephens, Copper Cat and Foxy Brown.
