The music industry, Tribe fans, and music fans alike are all stunned this morning with the new that a piece of the legendary hip-hop trio A Tribe Called Quest has passed away.
Phife Dawg, only 45, was an integral component of the historic hip-hop group. Diagnosed with Type-I diabetes back in 1990, the ultimate cause of death is still unknown. However, it was well known that the Five Foot Assassin was battling this disease for many recent years.
Rest in peace to one of hip-hop’s kings.
