The family of the late MC Breed has released a statement on the Flint native’s sudden passing on Saturday (Nov. 22).
Breed was hospitalized in September after collapsing from kidney ailments during a pickup basketball game. The rapper succumbed to kidney failure. He was 36 years old.
“We are saddened by our great loss. We are overwhelmed by the tremendous outpouring of love and support during this difficult time.” the family said in a statement to AllHipHop.com.
Breed made an immediate impact with his 1991 debut MC Breed & DFC, which was powered by the classic, Billboard charting single “Ain’t No Future in Yo’ Frontin’.”
The Flint, Michigan native further put the Midwest on the map with his third LP The New Breed.
The album is memorable for the 1993, Billboard Top 10 single “I Gotta Get Mine,” which featured a then fast-rising young emcee named Tupac Shakur.
The rapper, real name Eric Breed, leaves behind 5 children ranging in age from 18 to 1 years old.
