Rest In Peace Praverb

This is incredibly sad and difficult news to inform our readers of today that Earl Patrick McNease aka Praverb aka Praverb The Wyse has passed away. Patrick’s wife Vanessa announced the news via Facebook yesterday.

Patrick was not only an artist, but a true ambassador for Hip Hop. He was extremely dedicated to helping independent artists and was a true definition of HIP HOP. This news has rocked the Hip Hop community and all who knew Patrick.

A Go Fund Me page has been set up by Hip Hop DX’s Mike Trampe to helped Patrick’s family with the funeral costs. Please donate if it's possible.

"R.I.P to my brother Praverb a man that loved and lived HIP HOP...God truly has a soulja, he's up there now probably trynna find Guru, Pac, Biggie, Big L, Heavy D, Left-Eye, Eazy E, Aaliyah and countless others to put together a cypher for the KING...my prayers are with your family and I was truly blessed by a GREAT man!!!" - J.
