David Jolicoeur, the rapper known as Trugoy the Dove, who made up one-third of the hip-hop group De La Soul, has died. He was 54.
. No further details, including a cause of death, were shared by Jolicouer’s publicist, Tony Ferguson. But in the years leading up to his death, Jolicoeur had been open about his battle with congestive heart failure. He first disclosed his diagnosis in a 2017 music video for the De La Soul song ““I’m ready just to get back to the stage,” Jolicouer says in the video. “I miss that. I love traveling. I love being around my guys and I want that back.
Jolicouer was noticeably absent from a large hip-hop tribute at the Grammys last week that included a fellow De La Soul member, Posdnuos. De La Soul—with third member Maseo—was founded in 1988 after three burgeoning musicians met as high schoolers in Amityville. De La Soul took off with 1989’s. The group quickly found their feet apart from the rest of the rap scene, presenting a more lighthearted image of rappers who played with floral aesthetics, jazzy stylings, and quirky lyrics.
“It’s a hip-hop masterpiece for the era in which it was released,” Jolicoeur told Billboard this year. “I think the element of that time of what was taking place in music, hip-hop, and our culture, I think it welcomed that and opened up minds and spirits to see and try new different things… I think the innocence that we had back then was brave, but we were in a time where innocence was so cool.”
The album, produced by Prince Paul, was a critical smash hit upon its release, though it only reached the No. 24 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. The group’s later albums included, among others, 1991’s darker cult classic
