A lethal cocktail of narcotics and booze was responsible for Shock G’s death in April, according to TMZ’s report from Thursday (June 10). The legendary member of the Digital Underground reportedly died from a combination of fentanyl, alcohol, and methamphetamine after an accidental overdose, as reported by the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Shock G was discovered unconscious in his hotel room in Tampa, Florida on April 22, according to REVOLT. His final known activity was strolling outside the building the day before he passed away, according to the hotel manager, who was the last person to see the 57-year-old.
Shock G allegedly became the manager’s worry when he returned to his hotel room to investigate after missing his check-out time. They contacted the authorities without delay after discovering the unconscious hip-hop artist from the 1990s in bed.
The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner reports that at 2:20 PM EST, Shock G was declared dead at the hotel. Last month, Digital Underground and the rapper’s family hosted a memorial service to remember him. Shock G and the rap group provided Tupac with his initial stage, and his brother Mopreme Shakur was also present.
Many of Shock G’s associates, acquaintances, and admirers expressed sadness at his demise and praise for his creative impact as soon as the news spread. In an Instagram post, Chopmaster J—one of the co-founders of Digital Underground—reacted to his loss.
“34 years ago almost to the day we had a wild idea we can be a hip hop band and take on the world… Through it all, the dream became a reality and the reality became a nightmare for some,” he wrote. “… Now he’s awaken [sic] from the fame, long live Shock G Aka Humpty Hump. Rest In Peace my Brotha Greg Jacobs!!!”
“I look back [on my times with Shock G] with the greatest fondness,” Tupac’s official Twitter account operators wrote. I can’t even begin to describe how amazing those moments were…Farewell, Shock G.
