Henry Milton Johnson Jr., affectionately known as “Boosa,” was born on February 15, 1965, in Brooklyn, New York—a borough celebrated for its incredible diversity, rich cultural heritage, artistic freedom, historic brownstones, vibrant neighborhoods, and deep roots in hip-hop culture. Brooklyn’s spirit of music, art, creativity, and self-expression was a fitting place for a man whose life would become so deeply connected to music.

From an early age, music was more than a passion for Boosa—it was a part of his soul.

At just 12 years old, Boosa began mixing on the 1s and 2s, recording his sessions on reels and tirelessly developing the skills that would become one of the defining parts of his life. With a natural gift for music, unwavering dedication, and an undeniable love for his craft, he earned recognition and respect among those who experienced his talent. His creativity and passion eventually helped inspire the creation of the infamous DJ 40 Ounce, also known as the B-Stinger.

Throughout his life, Boosa made an unforgettable impact on the world of music and entertainment. His creativity, energy, and extraordinary talent brought people together and created memories that will never fade. Wherever his music took him, he had a way of filling the room with life, joy, and excitement.

But beyond the music, beyond the turntables, and beyond the entertainment, Boosa’s greatest gift was his heart.

His faith, unconditional love, generosity, and devotion to his family and friends were the true measures of the man he was. He loved deeply, gave freely, and left an impression on countless lives. To those who knew him, Boosa was more than a DJ and entertainer—he was family, a friend, a source of laughter, a source of strength, and a presence that could never be duplicated.

Though he may no longer walk among us, his legacy will never be forgotten.

The love he shared will continue through the people he cherished. The memories he created will continue to bring smiles and tears. And the music he loved so dearly will continue to carry his spirit forward for generations to come.

Every beat, every rhythm, every tune holds a piece of the life he lived and the joy he brought to others.
