David Arquette took to social media to pay tribute to Seth Binzer -- better known as his stage name Shifty Shellshock and front man vocalist for American rap rock band Crazy Town -- after his death earlier this week.
The Scream actor posted an Instagram Reel comprised of two short clips and a group photo -- highlighting some memories with Binzer and friends.
"I'm sending all my love to my brother Seth @therealcrazytown and his family," he began. "Shifty as I knew him when we first met during a graffiti battle in an LA yard. He was such an incredible man with a huge heart."
