While the cause of death for the 39-year-old MC hasn’t been revealed, fans and artists alike have hit up Twitter paying their respects to the Brooklyn lyricist.PH, born Robert Alan Diaz, first started making waves in 1997 with the mixtape banger “Dynamic” and was a former protégé of Bobbito Garcia.
