Kid Frost, whose 1990 song "La Raza" spent 18 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, is battling cancer.

The West Coast rapper has been using his Instagram account to provide updates on his condition and to voice his thoughts as he continues his fight. While the Latin Alliance founder has not made it clear what kind of cancer he has been diagnosed with, he's encouraging others to visit their doctor and live a healthier lifestyle.

“You can say what you want to say if you have a family member or know somebody who has gone through anything like this then don’t avoid or dodge a potential bullet go get checked!" he wrote in an Instagram post. "One thing I want to do is educated little bit from my experience and now we’re about to go into the battle royale this is no joke. I’m hurting inside for wasting so much time and now as I get older and have a real strong desire to live for these babies and the kids the devil want to hand me a monkey wrench.

"Diabetes is not what’s going to take me under it’s going to be the ailments and the kicker is from having diabetes you won’t be able to heal from any other diseases like cancer and such…I know a lot of the s**8 right now kid frost Diabetes Awareness foundation wake up call like I said go get checked it takes nothing if you haven’t been to the doctor in a while to have a physical and go check yourself out,” he continued.
