Brew News: Baatin of Slum Village Dies

The news of celebrity deaths continues... Baatin, of the hip hop group Slum Village, has died.

The cause of his death is unknown, though there had been reports of health problems. Singer Dwele and producer 9th Wonder confirmed the death via Twitter. Baatin left the group in '04 but reunited with them and released a new album this year, titled Villa Manifesto.

You'll recall that former Slum Village member and producer J Dilla (Jay Dee) died three years ago of a rare blood disease. Such awful news for this classic group.

Let's remember through music...
