The news that Sean Price aka Ruck passed away in his sleep is very upsetting. Price was one of the nastiest MCs, with lyrical skills and with his gruff voice and in your face way of attacking the mic, and it's a shame that the masses won't even know he passed or that he existed at all. He came on the scene as one half of Heltah Skeltah, members of the Boot Camp Click, alongside underground favorites such as Black Moon and Smif 'N Wessun. Heltah Skeltah's debut, Nocturnal, was one of my favorite albums of 1996 and the lead single, "Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka" was my favorite song of '96. He also released 3 solo albums going by Sean Price instead of Ruck, before teaming with Black Milk and Guilty Simpson to form the group Random Axe. He's collaborated with Pharoahe Monch, Talib Kweli, Onyx, his Boot Camp family, Termanology, Ghostface Killah, Pumpkin Head, Skyzoo, Torae and the list keeps going. He will be missed for certain.
