Rapper MC Breed, a rapper from Flint Michigan, one of the first to emerge onto the hip-hop scene has died at the age of 36.
MC Breed recorded 13 albums between 1991 and 2001
Breed, who scored a hit with his 1991 lo-fi classic "Ain't No Future in Yo' Frontin'" and later collaborated with a young Tupac Shakur, was found dead on Saturday at a friend's home in Ypsilanti, according to Darryl Morris, Breed's manager. No further details were available as of press time.
Breed, whose given name was Eric Breed, had recently been wrestling with health issues and was admitted to a hospital in his adopted home of Atlanta in September after suffering from kidney failure, according to reports. The rapper was put on life support, according to reports, and had only 30 percent functionality of his kidneys. Plans were put in place to throw a benefit concert for the rapper to raise money for his medical bills, but they were put on hold when his condition seemed to improve.

He was a real trail-blazer, and was one of the first major players in the hip-hop, rap movement - his music was inspiration for a lot of others.
