From Pitchfork:
Yesterday, Fab 5 Freddy revealed on his Twitter that art-rap pioneer Rammellzee had died. Today, Stuart Argabright, Rammellzee’s collaborator in Death Comet Crew, confirms that sad news. He was 50 years old.
A legendary graffitti artist, fashion designer, and rapper, Rammellzee remains best known for “Beat Bop”, his 1983 single with K-Rob, which was produced by famed artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. But his long, varied career encompassed much, much more than that.
