We are extremely saddened and surprised by the death of Michael Goins. Dirty Mike, as he is professionally known, was a talented and loyal member of our organization. To have had the opportunity to work with him has been a blessing. His dedication and work ethic to his craft is unrivaled. Over his career he diligently made strides to improve himself and those around him. His ability was limitless. It is a very emotional and trying time for us all as we attempt to make sense of the events that have left us without him. Dirty Mike was more than an employee of the label. He was family.
Words are not enough to explain the admiration and love we have for Mike. When you work with someone so closely for so long it’s hard to just move forward. He was a father, an entertainer, and good man beyond any faults. He was a friend and a brother to us. During this time of mourning our hearts and minds are on him and with his family. We thoroughly appreciate the heartfelt love and sincerest regards from fans and friends alike. His memory shall live on through his music.
