David Jude Jolicoeur, the rapper best known by his stage name Trugoy the Dove, has died. He was 54.
Jolicoeur, one of the founding members of the rap trio De La Soul, “has been struggling with his health,” according to All Hip Hop, the outlet that first broke the news.
It was 2018 when the artist opened up about his congestive heart failure, saying: “I’m ready to get back on stage. I miss it. I love to travel. I love being with my boys and I want it back.”
Jolicoeur is widely known for his work on the popular Gorillaz song “Feel Good Inc.”
The rapper made his debut in 1989 with De La Soul 3 feet tall and rising. Jolicoeur recently talked about how this album would fare today.
“I think liberation 3 feet tall and rising Right now, maybe even for the age group that was listening at the time, I think hip-hop as a whole just won’t get it. I think maybe hip-hop would see it as rough, soft and things like that,” he told Billboard.
He continued, “But I think it’s also because hip-hop is about what you have, who you impress, what you can do, how much you have, how much you spend and how much is in.” that bag you have around, I don’t think what the impact is 3 feet tall and rising and what it meant then would mean everything now.
