Ain't No Future just came on my yahoo launchcast, so I figured I'd come in here and drop a RIP.

Classic joints.
 
As many of you have heard, Flint, Michigan rapper MC Breed has passed away unexpectedly this weekend. Known for his "More Bounce To TheOunce"-inspired debut, Ain't No Future In Your Frontin', the legendary MC catapulted to fame at a time when it was unheard of for an emcee out ofthe mid-west to breakthrough.

MC Breed opened the doors for artists like Eminem, D12, and even Kid Rock to be seen and heard by the masses.


Breed got down with several of the west coast's finest throughout his illustrious career, including Warren G, Too $hort, Ant Banks, 2Pac, D.O.C.,Rappin' 4-Tay, and Spice-1 to name a few. Shortly after he exploded on the scene, he made a move to L.A., where he formed lasting friendship with theD.O.C. The new friendship found Breed in the studio with The Chronic creators: D.O.C., Dr. Dre, Warren G and Colin Wolfe. In fact, his 3rd album, The NewBreed, included the assistance of D.O.C., Warren G & Colin Wolfe, and featured the late 2Pac on the hit single Gotta Get Mine.

Later, you could find Breed hanging out with Too $hort and his Dangerous Crew, where he did several collaborations with the Oakland mack including Never TalkDown, We Do This, Buy You Some and others. He also featured with M.C. Pooh (Don't Cost A Dime), Spice-1 (Ballin'), Ant Banks (Money Don't Make AMan and 4 Tha Hustlaz), as well as having Dangerous Crew producers Ant Banks and Shorty B work on a few of his solo efforts like Big Baller, Funkafied andFlatline.

Before his untimely passing, Dubcnn's own Chad Kiser and Jon Hay had the chance to speak to with MC Breed on a number of occasions regarding his pastaccomplishments, as well as his future projects. One of those projects he talked about included a new album in the works, tentatively titled Original Breed:Swag Heavy, which was intended to be released through his original recording home Ichiban Records. Although the project was still in development, Breed hadreached out a few of his homies to help create the record, such as producer's Erotic D and Ant Banks (who both contributed to his Flatline album), D.O.C.,Spice-1, Too $hort, Jazze Pha and Colin Wolfe.
