As many of you have heard, Flint, Michigan rapper MC Breed has passed away unexpectedly this weekend. Known for his ﾓMore Bounce To The Ounceﾔ-inspired debut, Ainﾒt No Future In Your Frontinﾒ, the legendary MC catapulted to fame at a time when it was unheard of for an emcee out of the mid-west to breakthrough.
MC Breed opened the doors for artists like Eminem, D12, and even Kid Rock to be seen and heard by the masses.
Breed got down with several of the west coastﾒs finest throughout his illustrious career, including Warren G, Too $hort, Ant Banks, 2Pac, D.O.C., Rappinﾒ 4-Tay, and Spice-1 to name a few. Shortly after he exploded on the scene, he made a move to L.A., where he formed lasting friendship with the D.O.C. The new friendship found Breed in the studio with The Chronic creators: D.O.C., Dr. Dre, Warren G and Colin Wolfe. In fact, his 3rd album, The New Breed, included the assistance of D.O.C., Warren G & Colin Wolfe, and featured the late 2Pac on the hit single Gotta Get Mine.
Later, you could find Breed hanging out with Too $hort and his Dangerous Crew, where he did several collaborations with the Oakland mack including Never Talk Down, We Do This, Buy You Some and others. He also featured with M.C. Pooh (Donﾒt Cost A Dime), Spice-1 (Ballinﾒ), Ant Banks (Money Donﾒt Make A Man and 4 Tha Hustlaz), as well as having Dangerous Crew producers Ant Banks and Shorty B work on a few of his solo efforts like Big Baller, Funkafied and Flatline.
Before his untimely passing, Dubcnnﾒs own Chad Kiser and Jon Hay had the chance to speak to with MC Breed on a number of occasions regarding his past accomplishments, as well as his future projects. One of those projects he talked about included a new album in the works, tentatively titled Original Breed: Swag Heavy, which was intended to be released through his original recording home Ichiban Records. Although the project was still in development, Breed had reached out a few of his homies to help create the record, such as producerﾒs Erotic D and Ant Banks (who both contributed to his Flatline album), D.O.C., Spice-1, Too $hort, Jazze Pha and Colin Wolfe.
