On Tuesday (April 27) artist and personal friend of Black Rob, Mark Curry, confirmed news of the planned memorial via Instagram.

“Join us as we gather to share our favorite stories and memories, to laugh and to cry in memory of our beloved Robert ‘Black Rob’ Ross,” Curry wrote in the caption. “We will always love you!! YouTube.com/RevoltTV.”

Rob’s health had been on the decline for some time now, and the rapper shared an update with fans just days before his passing.

“I’ve been dealing with this for five years,” Rob said in a video message. In addition to failing health, the rapper went on to detail his struggles with securing a home.

“Four strokes … I don’t got no house to live in — except maybe an apartment. Me and my man be trying to get together. I’m telling you man, this s–t is strange. It’s hard, you know what I’m saying? I don’t know what the people want to do, what the people going to say. I need some rest, man. Really, man. I need some rest. My side is killing me.”

Before signing to Bad Boy, Rob was part of a rap team named Alumni. His solo album, Life Story, debuted in 1999. The album featured the single “Whoa!” which went on to become his highest charting Billboard appearance.

Rob’s Homegoing Celebration will stream this Friday at 9 a.m. EST on REVOLT.

Dr Dre Gives Fans Update on Social Media

So I've gotta be honest... 2021 doesn't look like it's letting up. Yesterday hip hop culture, and the rest of the world, was shocked to learn that Dr Dre had suffered a brain aneurysm, and was sitting in ICU. Heartfelt social media posts poured in all across the internet, with many fans wondering if Dre would make it through the night. Everyone was relieved to hear from the man himself, albeit through a Instagram caption, when Dr Dre addressed everyone last night, claiming that he was 'doing great', and remarked that he would be back home soon. Well wishes to the OG! Get well soon Doc!
