Happy Heavenly Birthday to DeShaun Dupree Holton
(October 2, 1973 – April 11, 2006) professionally known as Proof and also known as Big Proof and Dirty Harry.
His first television appearance was in the video for Aaliyah’s “Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number.” It was filmed in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan in November 1994, the black and white visual featured cameos of Proof alongside Bizarre from D12 and Aaliyah’s brother (Rashad).
Holton first rose to national prominence when he formed D12 “The Dirty Dozen” in 1995 with his friends Eminem, Bizarre, Mr. Porter, and a high school friend Eye-Kyu. Shortly after that, Proof recruited two friends, B-Flat & Dirty Ratt, to the group.
Proof released a solo album (Called “Searching for Jerry Garcia” in August 2005) featuring collaborations with 50 Cent, Method Man, Nate Dogg, B-Real of Cypress Hill, T3 of Slum Village, Obie Trice, King Gordy, Eminem and D12. Proof said that he did not produce the record with Shady Records or Aftermath because he wanted to “build his own thing”
Sadly, on April 11, 2006, Proof was shot and killed after a heated argument during a game of billiards at the CCC Club on 8 Mile Road in Detroit.

#ThrowbackSaturday Laughing with Motown Legend himself Mr. Barrett Strong eating outside at #VinsettaGarage. I know he's living in California it's been awhile since I've seen him. I spoke to him on the phone a few months ago he seemed OK. One of our many get togethers talking about creating music, proper songwriting, riding the rhythm, what Aretha said, how he loves Bobby Blue, eating with Marvin, why they always ask about David & the 3rd of September and enjoying life! I was honored to co-produce his last album #StrongHoldII. Putting this legend, Grammy winner, SongwriterHOF, on the pedestal where he belongs an icon whom I'm happy I can call my friend💯#BornInMississippi #RaisedinDetroit #sonofapreacherman #Songwriter #moneythatswhatiwant #TheDells #GladysKnight #EdwinStarr #MarvinGaye #UndisputedTruth #NormanWhitfield #TheMarvelettes #IsleyBrothers #TheArtistics only songwriter covered by #TheBeatles & #RollingStones 💥 #MotownHistory #DetroitBlues #RandB #Motorcity #DetroitLegend #BigHeart #PerfectPitch #Genious #PianoPlayer #truestory ⭐️ (at Vincetta Garage Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChrxPyKuPtc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes when death stumbles into your life you have to remind yourself that it is just another door- another opening. Not an end but a continuance. The same light & love & law presented in a new form. Even as the tears fall remember family that the flesh mourns the flesh but the (eternal) spirit rejoices the (eternal) spirit. . . For all the lessons and the builds. For holding one of the most culturally relevant open mics in the city. For the encouragement..the advice. The dedication to the Community..the Children. Those without. He was too big for words. A mentor. A friend. *godpops*. He was a G. His Legacy of living & loving BLK 24/24 will endure forever. Islam Moor ✋🏿 . . 🎶 There is only more life- this I am aware of- so glad that I know you are all that I am made of 🎶 #detroitlegend https://www.instagram.com/p/B2y73x7p5F2/?igshid=1iwura7w24qh8

🎧🎙#ArtIsAWeapon 👑 @djminxwomenonwax & @ash_lauryn_ @undergroundandblack @resident_advisor 💜 Reposted from @ash_lauryn_ I recently had a lovely chat with Detroit’s @djminxwomenonwax for the U&B x RA Exchange! A true trailblazer for women in the DJ industry. We talked everything from her early days on the decks to starting her collective and label Women On Wax. I have so much respect for this woman and it was a pleasure to learn more of her story. Link in bio for an hour of history, laughs, and straight talk! 🌹 #DJMinx #WomenOnWax #WomenDJs #BlackWomenDJs #DJs #DetroitLegend #TechnoIsBlackMusic #DetroitTechno #AshLauryn #TraScapades #MusicIsLife #BlackAugust https://www.instagram.com/p/CD7PQpagnzw/?igshid=2hj4ox5ehp8e
