What is an artist of yours that you love but died? How did they die?
Micheal David "Eyedea" Larsen, accidental overdose on prescription medication.
My favorite artist is Bradley Nowell. This man was one of my most influential spirit teachers other than Big L.
Big L? You mean THE Big L? You mean the "Devil's Son" Big L? You mean the "L Coreleone" Big L? You mean the "Because I'm all about ends and skins, when you got that you don't need no motherfuckin friends" Big L? He was your spiritual teacher?
I'm not trying to judge, because I love Big L myself, but other than that "Street Struck" song, he didn't seem to offer much spiritual guidance...
I've actually started singing because of the soul in his voice that I want to build upon.
He overdosed on Heroin on May 25, 1996. Two months later, the album that would make his band, Sublime go big was released.
RIP Bradley Nowell 1968-1996
Sounds pretty similar to James "Baby Huey" Ramey, frontman for Baby Huey and the Baby Sitters. Overdosed on that H before his first album was released. RIP to all of 'em.
