Black The Ripper has passed away at the age of 32.
The rapper had first emerged in the scene back in the noughties, releasing big mixtapes such as Holla Black and Afro Samurai which highlighted his talents as a skilled lyricist.
In recent years, Black The Ripper had become a strong advocate for the legalisation of marijuana in the UK with his Dank Of England campaigns, posting several videos online of his commitment to the cause.
His cause of death is currently unconfirmed.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of the rapper.
