Damon worked with the musician – real name David Jolicoeur – on Gorillaz’s 2005 hit Feel Good Inc., which De La Soul also featured on.

The founding member of the hip-hop group had suffered from congestive heart failure in recent years, however a cause of death has yet to be confirmed.

The sad news was confirmed by the outfit’s publicist Tony Ferguson. Surviving members Posdnuos (Kelvin Mercer) and Maseo (Vincent Lamont Mason Jr) have yet to speak publicly about the loss.
