    Most of the people on here won't know him, but for those who are into underground hip hop, Eyedea passed away today. He was found by his mother and was thought to have passed in his sleep. Cause hasn't been determined yet. His live act with DJ Abilities was second to no one. He'll be missed.

    Here are some of the highlights of his career:

    Winning Scribble Jam at age 17:

    Winning Blaze Battle (on HBO) at age 18. Afterwords he reportedly turned down Puffy's attempt to sign him to Bad Boy (I'm sure he was looking for an Eminem clone)

    Freestyling w Slug of Atmosphere

    RIP.

    I definitely knew him. If you know about Eminem's underground days, you start hearing about people like Eyedea and Cage.
