MC Breed was found dead

Michigan, Flint rapper, MC Breed, was found dead on Saturday (November 22) his manager confirmed. The rapper was just 36 years old.

Eric Breed (ca. 1972 - November 22, 2008), better known as MC Breed was a Flint, Michigan-based rapper best known for his singles "Ain’t No Future in Yo Frontin", which peaked at #66 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Gotta Get Mine", featuring 2Pac, that made it to #6 on the Hot Rap Singles.

Born in Flint, Michigan, Breed is also known as the first commercially successful rapper to come out of the Midwest. MC Breed’s first album was released with rap group DFC and was entitled MC Breed & DFC for independent record label, SDEG Records. His solo debut was 1992’s 20 Below, after which he released 1993’s The New Breed. He would go on to have a very extensive discography and have a very long career that was at times successful, but he never fully broke into the mainstream. His highest charting album was 1994’s Funkafied, which peaked at #106 on the Billboard Hot 200. Through his career he would align himself with various rap scenes.

Early in his career with DFC him and the group were rather independent, as one of the first groups out of the midwest. However, later in his career he aligned himiself with the West Coast, taking on more of a G-Funk sound and befriending West Coast rapper Too Short. Still later, he realigned himself once again with the Dirty South for 1995’s Big Baller

On April 2, 2008, Breed was arrested in Flint, Michigan after repeatedly failing to keep up his child support payments. His bail was set at $18,000.

On September 5, 2008 the rapper was hospitalized and placed on life-support after he collapsed when his kidneys failed during a game of pickup basketball.On November 22, 2008, Breed reportedly died in his sleep.

if thats the same day he was suppose 2 rap in saginaw i was probly the last 2 talk 2 him it was about 5:30am i heard one of his songs playing at the end of this movie during credits, so i called not paying attention 2 the time .i was talking 2 him about the movie they had his song on,he named the movie then he said "i just got into Michigan, i got a show in Saginaw at 2:00 can u make me a shirt ? put SWAGG HEAVY on it and MC BREED naw just put BREED " we had talked some more and at the same time i was saying 2 myself how he didn’t sound the same, but i figured it was because he was tired. but after i found out he past , im thinking it must have been the same day cause i called him back around 11:00 then again around 1:00 to see what time he was coming to pick up the shirt . when he didn’t call back i figured he must have been rushing to the show and didn’t have time to swing by. so i called later that day and the next day to see if he was still in Michigan to get it before he went back to ATL but he never answered. one love my brother will keep u around , im gonna make some shirts to sale and donate proceeds to ur kids , i know how you really liked the interstate 75 shirt u kept wanting me to make for you. its done with ur name on it , i think i still have ur autograph from 93 when we first met thats when ur favorite drink was Martell so someone get intouch with me so we can get that going . thanks for getting rap going in the midwest ur dawg for life ChopArelli
