Breed, best known as MC Breed,passed away of Kidney Failure on Saturday, November 22, 2008, in Flint, Michigan.One of the first rappers to come out the Midwest in the early '90s, MC Breed experienced starts of success while based in Flint, MI, before leaving the Midwest to work with the D.O.C. in L.A. and Too $hort in Atlanta. Breed's debut album, MC Breed & DFC, was released on the independent label Ichiban Records. The album merged the East and West Coast sounds of the time, being both lyrical and funky. Breed's signature single, Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin' kept the album on Billboard's R&B/Hip Hop chart for a whopping 52 weeks. Following his initial success, unprecedented at the time for a Midwestern rap act, Breed, began working with the D.O.C, who helped write and produce some of the songs on Breed's upcoming albums...
"We are saddened by our great loss." said Breed's family and management in a press release... "More than just an artist, we mourn the loss of a beloved father, son, brother and friend. We are overwhelmed by the tremendous outpouring of love and support during this difficult time. We are thankful and blessed to have been in his presence and want him to be remembered for his creative, caring, talented and hard-working spirit."
