Roxanne Shante Celebrates 50 Years of Hip-Hop on Bounce
RIP to David Jude Jolicoeur professionally known as "Trugoy, the Dove" of the legendary Hip Hop trio, De La Soul.
De La Soul’s arrival on the rap scene was filled with eclectic sounds, messages of positivity and Black consciousness. Known for their unconventional fashion sense compared to their peers Run-DMC and LL Cool J. Never afraid to be himself, Trugoy was a talented MC who was original and versatile, capable of rapping in many styles. His creative artistry as a lyricist influenced other artists to express their inner most thoughts via their verses lyrically.
The UHHM would like to send our condolences to Trugoy’s family and to all who are affected by his loss.
