Rapper *MC Breed <http://music.aol.com/artist/mc-breed/biography/1044504> *is dead. The Michigan-based rapper (real name: *Eric Breed)*, who has worked with the likes of *Tupac Shakur <http://music.aol.com/artist/2pac/biography/1036245> *and *Too Short* <http://music.aol.com/artist/too-hort/biography/1109807>, succumbed to apparent complications from kidney failure, according to published reports. *Darryl Morris*, Breed's manager, told the 'The Detroit News<http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage>' that he was found dead on Saturday (Nov. 22) at a friend's home in Ypsilanti. No further details were available as of press time. In September, Breed was reportedly playing basketball in Atlanta when he collapsed. He was then transported from the site of the pickup game to a nearby hospital, where he was listed in critical condition. At the time, Morris told 'AllHipHop.com <http://allhiphop.com/>' that Breed had to be revived three times. He said a number of rappers were contacted about participating in a benefit concert to help Breed with his medical expenses. "We are hoping we can find Breed a kidney through this process, before it's too late," Morris told the popular hip-hop site. MC Breed, who was 36, was preparing to release an album titled 'Original Breed,' and also planned to issue a DVD about his life titled 'Where is MC Breed?' -- "Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change." - Malcolm X, Malcolm X Speaks, 1965 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Black Focus Inc." group.
