If anyone was into Rap in the 80's they would of heard Bad Young Brother,Bullet from a Gun,Get Down and various other tunes from Derek B,well i've just found out he has died of a heart attack aged 44!! Rest in Peace Derek B Long live proper Old Skool Rap.

yeah, heard this the other day - RIP

 

he may not have been the most credible artist but he was certainly ground breaking in terms of hip hop from anywhere other than America

 

anyway bad young brother is a genuine solid gold TUNE

 

less said about the anfield rap the better though
