Bushwick Bill Passed Away!

Conflicting reports say iconic rapper Bushwick Bill passed away. 
Richard Stephen Shaw is known as Bushwick Bill of the Houston rap group Geto Boys. There's conflicting stories going on but I can say that the family has confirmed that the rapper is dying.

The Jamaican-American rapper has pancreatic cancer.

The rapper is hospitalized in critical condition but still alive confirms his family. The rapper is currently on a ventilator at a Colorado hospital. His publicist, Dawn P said that his family will be there in the final preparation.

The 52-year old rapper was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in February and is not expected to recover.

Bushwick Bill stood at 3'8" tall. He had dwarfism.

Geto Boys are a Texas rap group from the Fifth Ward community of Houston. It was comprised of rappers Scarface, Willie D and Bushwick Bill. The former members included Raheem, Sir Rap-a-Lot, Prince Johnny C (J Prince), The Sire Jukebox, Big Mike and DJ Ready Red.
Scarface, Bushwick Bill and Willie D. The Geto Boys had finished up their final tour in 2017,
Bushwick Bill was then the backup dancer known as Little Billy.

The group had earned notoriety for being controversial. It often talked about some gory topics. It would be considered misogynist, gory and violent.

They are considered one of the best rap groups of modern times.

Willie D is a prominent blogger and activist on YouTube. I have used his videos on this blog frequently.

Bushwick Bill leaves behind four children and a father.
