Remembering Dallas Penn: A Tribute to a Hip Hop Journalist and NYC Culture Influencer

Dallas Penn, a beloved Hip Hop journalist and NYC culture influencer, has passed away at the age of 54, leaving the Hip Hop community in mourning. His wife, Chocolate Snowflake, announced his death on his personal Facebook page, expressing her love and saying he has ascended to the music that was waiting for him.

Penn, who was diabetic, had been hospitalized and revealed on April 18 that he had experienced a life-threatening bowel perforation. Despite his health struggles, he remained positive and promised his wife he would find her in the multiverse. His presence on the NYC Hip Hop scene and his affinity for 90s fashion, particularly Ralph Lauren’s Polo brand, made him a respected figure in the industry.

As a co-host on the “Combat Jack Show” podcast, Penn shared his knowledge and passion for Hip Hop culture with listeners. His dedication to the music and fashion of the 90s made him a recognizable figure in the community, and his loss will be deeply felt by all who knew him.

The Source Magazine/Northstar Group extends their condolences to Penn’s family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. Dallas Penn’s legacy as a journalist and cultural critic will continue to inspire and influence the Hip Hop community for years to come.
