Philadelphia Rapper E-Dubble Has Died

Sad news today, as Philadelphia-based MC E-Dubble has died at age 34. Reportedly, E-Dubble was suffering from an aggressive infection, which spread throughout his body.

Born in Baltimore, Md. but living in Philly for the past couple years, E-Dubble was a big part of the underground, online rap community. He frequently sampled 1990s, indie and alternative songs for his music. The Internet is currently mourning his loss, as fans across the globe are tweeting their favorite memories from spending time with E-Dubble or listening to his music.
