RIP Ty
Old school British rapper, highly respected, very talented - 47 years old. COD: COVID-19
Quote:
Ty, the acclaimed, Mercury-nominated UK rapper, has died aged 47 after contracting coronavirus.
The Nigerian-British musician was known for a witty, mature style that owed more to the old-school US rappers than the grittier street sounds of London.
In 2004, his second album, Upwards, was nominated for the Mercury Prize alongside Amy Winehouse, The Streets and eventual winners Franz Ferdinand.
His death was mourned by stars including Ghetts and Roots Manuva.
DJ Charlie Sloth called him "a friend, a role model and a true foundation to UK rap".
