Pumpkinhead har somnat in

Den amerikanske rapparen Pumpkinhead, eller Alan Diaz som var hans riktiga namn, har gått bort plötsligt. Vad som orsakat dödsfallet är än så länge okänt.

Han imponerade på hiphop-publiken med sina framträdanden på Immortal Techniques album Revolutionary 1 och Revolutionary 2.

År 2005 släppte han albumet Orange Moon Over Brooklyn. 

Kondoleanser har börjat spridas över internet och i sociala medier.

Just finding out I lost a great friend today. RIP Robert Diaz AKA Pumpkinhead. Robert and I went to PS 282 together in Brooklyn, 4th grade. We then reconnected when he became an MC during the indie era of the late 90s. He signed to Makin Records, I signed to Rawkus. Then PH went on to reinvent himself again in the new battle rap era. He LOVED MCing and was great at it. To lose such a great human being so early in his life, man. No words. There is a fraternity of artists who were around for all of this. PH inspired us all. He will live on thru us even though his physical presence will be missed. RIP Robert Diaz.
