According to reports, MC Stormin has died. His rep confirmed the news to Metro.co.uk Monday morning.

No it’s a fight I will win so when I’m gone just know it’s for a short time and I’ll #BRB." That same year, he'd address the cancer on his album #BRB (Be Right Back), and would use social media to document the battle.
