"Derek B Was the first UK Rapper to Bring Underground Hip-Hop to the Pop charts, How cool is that?
Ok yeah some may say thats selling out, but at least he put 'UK Hip-Hop' on the map to make way for the other young buddin soon to be rappers... Sadly Derek B Passed away on Sunday from a heart attack aged 44, still so young, its sad to know that a legend has passed. And the irony is i was just doing my research for the Next Afterdark network Article Based around UK Hip-Hop and i was catchin up on how much of an impact he had on the whole of the UK scene as well as over in the US which only has been achived by Female Rapper Monie Love so you know you have to give props where props is due!!Oh and another Thing. his birthday is on the 15th Jan 3 days after mine,  another cool Cap yo..damn it..

but seriously its a sad day for a lot if people who are fans & followers of the UK Hip-Hop history and all those who hold great respect to all those Legends that has made thier contribution to this wonderful thing we all come to love .Hip-Hop.So lets all Pay Our respects and always remember Derek B achievements as a Legendary UK Rapper THANK YOU DEREK B FOR DOING WHAT YOU LOVED.
