    According to DJ Chuck Chillout‘s Twitter post, the legendary Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest has passed away at the young age of 45. Chuck Chillout posted the Tweet just after 1 a.m. EST Wednesday morning [March 23].

    The Five-Foot Assassin has been battling his health for years, consistently fighting Type-I diabetes, which he developed in 1990.

    The news of his death was also confirmed by Statik Selektah, and many veteran Hip Hop artists, including Aesop Rock, Chuck D and El-P, who have taken to social media to express their condolences, as well.

    A Tribe Called Quest, of course, is Hip Hop royalty and greatly respected by countless fans around the
    world.

    See this is why I need to get more into hip hop. I honestly, and unfortunately, didn't know who he was. I know about A Tribe Called Quest, but Q-Tip is the only one I know. My condolences goes out to the group and the family and people who were close to him.

    He was one of the greats in the pantheon of Hip Hop. I spent many hours listening to A Tribe Called Quest as a teenager and in my early 20s. RIP Phife Dawg.
