With great sadness, we join throngs of Hip-Hop heads across the terrestrial and cyberworld who have learned of the loss of DJ EZ Rock (known to family and friends as Rodney “Skip” Bryce). The news is confirmed by several sources, including HipHopDX, who took it from EZ’s “It Takes Two” partner-in-rhyme Rob Base.

Rob Base took to Facebook to break the news of DJ EZ Rock’s passing. DJ EZ Rock of the duo Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock has reportedly died. The news quickly spread following a post on Rob Base’s personal Facebook page. “R.I.P. Skip (DJ EZ Rock) friends since 4Th grade I’m really going to miss you,” he wrote.

It’s the kind of news you hope against all hope is not true. Then you find out it is, and try to come to grips with it and move on as best you can. That’s what we are going to do. Family, let’s remember… We mourn only the loss, the rest is joy and great memories.

Rest In Power, Mr. DJ. And thank you for helping “make it out of sight.”

(Just chuckled a bit, as EZ ROCK would probably have punched someone in the arm for that groaner.)
