R.I.P. Derek B
Rapper Derek B has passed away after suffering a heart attack (on November 15). He was the first international hiphop act I ever saw - he opened here for Run DMC in 1988 at the Powerstation.
"The musician, real name Derek Boland, is said to have been taken to London’s Charing Cross hospital early yesterday morning. Paramedics were unable to resuscitate him, reports Mad News. He was 44. (More from BBC)
Legendary producer Simon Harris told the NME:“Derek was always a huge inspiration to me and can never be replaced, his tragic death at such a young age is a great loss to everyone who has known him and also his many fans. May I offer my love and sincere condolences to his family especially to his dear mother Jenny. Rest in peace Derek B, Bad Young Brother.” (Source: DJ Semtex.com)
