There were no outward signs of trauma at the time, and Shock was last seen the day before he died by a hotel manager who later found him dead in his room on April 22.

On May 1, friends and family of the artists gathered to give him their last goodbye. 

Despite not knowing the cause of his death, relatives that came together for the ceremony focused on the positivity in Shock G’s life and the legacy that he left behind. 

“His legacy was how he loved people unconditionally,” Reverend Doctor Alesia Ford-Burse said at the service. “He loved to a default.”

According to The Grio, Shock G, whose real name is Gregory Jacobs, started Digital Underground with Chopmaster J in the late ’80s, and the group put out albums through the mid-2000s and later until dropped their final project in 2008 named “Cuz a D.U. Party Don’t Stop!”.

The group is best known for the hit singles “Doowutchyalike” and “The Humpty Dance” by Shock G’s alter ego Humpty Hump.
