And Joe Budden added after Sean Price’s death: “We lost an awesome MC today”. Cause of death and additional information is forthcoming. Additionally, Price was a key component to the Boot Camp Clik collective, and recent trio Random Axe, with Black Milk and Guilty Simpson. Sean and rapper Ill Bill were reportedly working on a album together titled The Pill.
