Big
Ed
, former No Limit soldier, passed awayyesterday in the hospital after a bout with cancer.
Ed, who is survived by his wife and two children, was
one of the last artists to leave No Limit for non-payment
of royalties. Last Fall, Ed released his own solo album,
Special Forces, through Select-O-Hits.
"Ed
was an extremely healthy human being–didn’t smoke,
didn’t drink, was a vegetarian, and worked out everyday.
He was the healthiest person I know, so we were all
shocked by his passing," said a saddened KLC from
Beats By The Pound (who now go by The Medicine Men),
who was also at the hospital when Ed passed.
Big Ed was
preparing to release his album Caught In The Crossfire
August 21st.
