Just three days before his passing, Jamal took to Instagram and posted a throwback snap of himself and singer Ed Sheeran.
He captioned it, saying: "Happy Birthday to the OG, Ed. Blessed to have you in my life brother.
"You know you've been mates a long time when you lose count on the years! Keep smashing it & inspiring us all G!"
Jamal is known for helping launch Ed's career, as well as other music sensations such as. Jessie J and Dave thanks to his online urban music platform.
His YouTube channel launched after he realised it could be a way to success in the early days of the platform after he filmed a pal on his estate in Acton, West London, performing grime music.
In 2013, he told MailOnline: "Back then, there was no place to showcase our sort of spitting and rapping, so I thought, OK, I want to create that platform."
Although it took a while for the idea to take off, Jamal kept at it for three years and he was able to secure his first non-grime interview with Kelly Rowland.
This helped to kickstart his career and led to him interviewing other big names in the industry, including Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj, Trey Songz.
