R.I.P Bad News Brown

Rapper Paul Frappier, known as Bad News Brown, has been found dead.

His body was discovered by a passerby in the southwestern part of Montreal by the Lachine Canal near abandoned buildings, police said.

Police spokesman Oliver lapointe said there was evidence of violence at the scene.

"We do not know the motive and we have no witnesses," Lapointe said.

Frappier's publicist issued a statement saying they were made aware of the artist, harmonica player and rapper's death Saturday morning.

"Bad News Brown's death is a great loss for the entire hip-hop and music community in Quebec," Frappier's manager Henry Gelot said in the statement. "In addition to being one of the first rappers from Quebec to reach international acclaim, Bad News Brown has certainly left a mark on everyone who knew him."

Friend Bodo Lunetz said he only had good things to say about Frappier.

"He was a guy with a big heart," Luentz said.

He added Frappier didn't have any financial problems or known enemies.

Originally from Haiti, Frappier lived with an adoptive family in Montreal until his teen years. He played harmonica in the Metro stations before becoming a star. The bio on his Facebook page says he opened for Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, 50 Cent and Soulja Boy. He released his debut album, Born 2 Sin, last year. He is also in the latest movie from Canadian director Michel Jette called Bumrush, due out this year.

Fans took to Frappier's fan page on Facebook to offer their condolences.

"You left a positive mark on this earth," one person wrote.

"Your sounds will flow for eternity," another wrote.

Police said there are no suspects and the investigation continues.

R.I.P Camu Tao

On stage in Minneapolis, Minnesota Sunday evening, Aesop Rock announced that emcee Camu Tao had died after a three year bout with cancer. The Columbus, Ohio native born Tero Smith, was just less than two weeks away from his 31st birthday.
Camu Tao rose to fame with the MHz crew, which also consisted of producer RJD2, emcees Copywrite and Jakki Tha Mottomouth, plus DJ Przm, who passed away just under a year ago as well. As the crew ascended to the ranks of the underground Hip Hop community through releases on Fondle 'Em and ABB Records, Camu would end up at High & Mighty's Eastern Conference imprint as a solo artist. There, he would record his most significant album, Nighthawks with Cage, after a reported three-day recording session. The album was inspired by the Sylvester Stallone film of the same name.
Camu was also active with Def Jux Records. There, he would be a part of The Weathermen crew with Aesop Rock, Cage, El-P, Breeze Brewin and others, as well as one-half of S.A. Smash. With Metro, the latter group would release 2003's Smashy Trashy. Additionally, Camu did release two editions of the limited Blair Cosby solo albums, as well as 2004's Going For De Gold. None of the three efforts were distributed nationally.
Throughout the last three years, Camu's career had been feature appearances and production on peer albums while he readied his Def Jux solo. Highlights include producing and appearing on Cage's critically-acclaimed Hell's Winter ("The Death of Chris Palko" comeback album, appearing on Aesop Rock's Danger, Fire & Knives album ("Rockety Rackety"), as well as Slow Suicide Stimulus album ("Cutty Sharks" / "Regardless").
