Hopefully not.
There’s a saying that goes “bad news comes in threes” and the rap community is experiencing the adage firsthand.
According to sources, rap veteran Shock G of Digital Underground has passed away following the tragic death of DMX on April 9th and Black Rob on April 17th.
So far, a cause of death has not been revealed, but a source close to friend of Digital Underground confirmed the tragic news to AllHipHop.com.
The rapper/keyboardist was responsible for a number of influential singles, including Digital Undergrounds hit song “The Humpty Dance,” as his alter ego Humpty Hump.
“The Humpty Dance” hit #1 on on Billboard’s Rap Singles chart.
Shock G was also instrumental in the development of Tupac Shakur’s career. Shock G introduced Pac to the world on the group’s#### single “Same Song.”
Shock G was also the producer, and featured on Tupac’s breakthrough single “I Get Around,” from the album Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z
Additionally, Shock G produced Tupac’s classic track “So Many Tears” from his album Me Against The World.
