Edai was also one of the founders of Team 600. Its members include 600Breezy, Young Famous, and Jusblow. Chief Keef himself is or was a member of the group at some point. In 2014 and 2015, Team 600 released ‘In LA We Trust’ and ‘In LA We Trust 2′ mixtapes. Records were loud enough to make it to Russia and get references in the local group’s album name. Mixtapes include one of the most famous Edai’s tracks, ‘ War’.
Some artists responded to Edai’s death on social media. DJ Akademiks posted on Instagram, commenting, “RIP to Chicago rapper #Edai600.” FBG Duck’s mother went on social media and reportedly commented on Edai’s death as well.
