Fans have already started to pay tribute with fellow rapper Biz Markie who took to Twitter to pay his respects.
He wrote:
‘RIP C Struggs, a true Dallas legend, gifted w/ the ability to transmute rap into both wounded gospel and trunk-rattling trap, an asphalt preacher, a born hustler, a repentant sinner, a soulman like no other.
He seemed possessed by ancient wisdom but passed far too soon.’ Struggs, real name Corey Struggs, was father to three sons, Corey Jr, Cortez and Torey, who died in an accident in 2014. He had recently paid tribute to his own father, who also died of cancer four years ago.
