Paul Costict, a member of the 90s hip-hop and rap group B-Rock and The Bizz, has died.
He was 57.
The musician passed away “unexpectedly,” according to TMZ, on Saturday, October 21 at his home in Norfolk, Virgina.
The New York Post has reached out to Costict’s representatives for comment.
His cause of death is still unclear.
According to family members that spoke to TMZ, as recent as Wednesday, Costict “seemed to be in good spirits … but mentioned recently being sick.”
B-Rock & the Bizz, were famously known for being the first rap group from Mobile, Alabama, when they formed in 1986.
The hip-hop collective consisted of producer, rapper and singer, Baron “B-Rock” Agee, his brother Leevirt Agee, Thaddeus “T-Bird” Maye and Costict.
The quartet signed to Pound 4 Pound Records, a label based in Miami, after being discovered at a talent show and released the local hit “Do Dat Dance” in 1992.
B-Rock and the Bizz was best known for the 1997 hit single “My Baby Daddy” from their debut album “Porkin’ Beans & Wienes.”
In April of that year, the song sky rocketed to the top of the charts and peaked at the number 10 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
Despite the group being considered to be a one-hit wonder, their legacy continues in the hip-hop community. In 2022, a very pregnant Rihanna paid tribute to B-Rock and the Bizz, wearing a ‘dat’s just my baby daddy’ T-shirt while walking hand in hand with her boyfriend A$AP Rocky.
