Rapper Jimmy Spicer has reportedly died after a battle with advanced cancer on his brain and lungs. Several prominent Hip-Hop figures, including Ralph McDaniels, Dante Ross, and R.A. The Rugged Man reacted to the news on social media.
Born James Bromley Spicer, the artist was one of the first Hip-Hop acts to release a commercial record when “Adventures of Super Rhyme” (embedded below) dropped in 1980. The 15-plus-minute song is full of playful raps and zany storytelling, much of which has been interpolated or sampled over the decades. Not to mention, Spicer’s narrative style was adopted by favorites like Slick Rick and Dana Dane.
