UK hip hop producer a legend & icon Mark B passed away. He was also active MTBer & BMX rider.
Of Mark B & Blade fame?? He can't have been very old.
You don't see the signs because you're blind
You're running out of time, I'm losing my mind, it's a crime
Stand back and watch a professional rapper rhyme
Put the mic down boy, the show is mine.

Gutted....still listen to his music regularly 😯
This popped up in my instagram feed today. Rubbish news. Rip Mark.
Apparently died asleep in bed cause yet unknown. Yeah he was young, genuine guy who loved his music & amazing record collector & knowledge
Damn that's crap, love 'the unknown' brilliant album.
Massive shame.
Damn, got into him through one of the Sprung videos
Blade has asked me to share this on his behalf - please share it on any social media you think appropriate. Cheers 🙂

Nice one IDB , will give it a view when I have the pc on.
And thanks to Blade
RIP Mark, 😥
Same as chubstr, The Unknown album was a regular for us in the car on the way to riding. Digging that out again.
Thanks for posting that video.
RIP,
The Unknown has been a staple for such a long time, it never gets old. such a shame.
Funeral/memorial tomorrow. He died in his sleep of brain haemorrhage. It will be a sad affair, but as Mark would only want it, the music will be amazing.
Nice tribute mix here by one half of the Herbaliser: https://www.mixcloud.com/ollieteeba/forever-the-sounds-of-mark-b/
Haven't listened to The Unknown for years, listening to it now. Good album, RIP!
Nice send off today some old faces from the Mark & Blade era. His sister put together a montage of photos inc lots of him riding. Sad story around the passing though Mark was on his own in a tiny flat in Germany having spilt with a girl over there, he hadn't done music for a while & had severed contract with lots of people (inc me) as he was sick of the industry. He was though getting back in to making beats & hooked up with a very old friend & making some exciting inroads but sadly he passed in his sleep.
