R.I.P. Curtis Young aka Hood Surgeon son of the Great Dr. Dre



We always hate to see people leave us on this earth... We've all lost someone but most of the people comin' to this blog have never really felt the loss of a child... and it's never supposed to be this way that you see your child go before you do... I can't imagine what Andre Young and his whole family are going through right now... All we can hope is that Curt goes up to them gates of heaven.

Rest

In

Peace

Curtis Young.

The Los Angeles County Coroner reported today that the son of hip hop record producer and rapper Dr. Dre has died. Andre Young Jr. was found dead at his home in Woodland Hills on Saturday morning.

Young was out the previous night and returned home around 5:30 A.M., according to Assistant Chief Ed Winter. His mother went to check on him in his bedroom around 10 A.M., found him unresponsive, and called 911. He was 20 years of age.

The cause of death is pending completion of a toxicology report.

Andre Young Sr., better known as Dr. Dre, shot to fame with the influential gangsta rap group N.W.A. He later became an artist and co-owner of Death Row Records. In 1993, he won a Grammy Award for the single "Let Me Ride." As a producer, Dre was credited with popularizing West Coast G-funk.

Dr. Dre is currently the founder and CEO of Aftermath Entertainment.
