Via Dante Ross on Instagram, it looks like DJ Mark the 45 King passed away this morning. I have heard via various interviews that he was an absolute nerd for making beats his whole life, one of those guys who never sought the spotlight and just wanted to make cool sounds.

He produced so much classic hip hop. Most famously "Hard Knock Life" for Jay-Z. But I'll always know him for "The 900 Number"

@darius And there I was hoping that we wouldn't lose another historically important figure in hip hop culture this year.... RIP Thee 45 King
