Veteran Brooklyn rapper Sean Price has reportedly passed away at the age of 43. Memories and condolences have started flooding Twitter, though details surrounding Price's passing are currently unknown. Price rose to prominence as a member of Heltah Skeltah, then known by his stage name Ruck. Their debut album Nocturnal was an instant classic, thrusting mid-90s hip-hop forward through its masterful lyricism and an inimitable personality. Price's most recent full-length album, Mic Tyson, was released in 2012. Price remained a constant and viable force in hip-hop well beyond his years with Heltah Skeltah and the Boot Camp Clik, most recently teasing work on a new mixtape entitled Songs in the Key of Price.

Shortly after news of Price's passing broke, Duck Down Music released the following statement:

Rest in peace, Sean.

My heart hurts. Sean Price is gone. Rest in Paradise legend.
