Legendary Detroit Rapper Dead At 37

by JOKESTA

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 25, 2008

Legendary Detroit rapper MC Breed, real name Eric Breed, has died at the age of 37. According to the Associated Press, a Washtenaw County medical examiner's spokesman says  Breed was pronounced dead Saturday at a friend's home in Ypsilanti, about 30 miles southwest of Detroit.

Breed, who was known for his 1991 hit "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin',  grew up in Flint, Michigan. He moved to Atlanta in the 1990s.

Between 1991 and 2004, Breed recorded 13 albums and collaborated with artists such as Tupac Shakur.

Officials say no foul play is suspected, early reports from The Detroit News and The Flint say Breed suffered kidney failure. Toxicology reports are pending.
