Celebration of Digital Underground rapper’s life to feed Oakland’s needy
NY Post
The rapper who rose to stardom on the strength of Digital Underground’s 1990 crossover hit “The Humpty Dance” will be feted with a celebration of life in California later this month — with plans to use the day to feed 2,000 people.
Shock G, 57, died in April in a Tampa Hotel room of an accidental overdose, according to a medical examiner’s report. He is to be honored by the City of Oakland on Aug. 21. Needy locals will hopefully benefit from the celebration, Alton Gregory, the former manager of the Digital Underground frontman, told TMZ.More Related News
