Former Bad Boy Records artist, Craig Mack, died of heart failure at a hospital near his South Carolina home on Monday. The 46 year old lyricist was known for his infectious, top selling 1994 hit, “Flava In Ya Ear” from the “Project: Funk Da World” album and in an earlier incarnation as MC EZ for the underground gem, “Get Retarded.” We send our condolences to his friends and family. May his soul rest in peace as his music lives on.
EPMD member and Hip Hop producer Erick Sermon reflected on a tweet about an upcoming album he was working on with Mack.
