Hip-Hop is mourning the loss of another respected legend, Shock G of Digital Underground.

On April 9th, we lost DMX, and eight days later, we lost Black Rob on April 17th.

Chopmaster J, the co-founder of Digital Underground, took to his Instagram to confirm the rapper’s death.

“34 years ago almost to the day we had a wild idea we can be a hip hop band and take on the world through it all the dream became a reality and the reality became a nightmare for some. And now he’s awaken from the fame long live shock G Aka Humpty Hump and Rest In Peace my Brotha Greg Jacobs!!! #digitalunderground 😔”
