ERICK SERMON SUFFERS HEART ATTACK, 9TH WONDER & RUSSELL SIMMONS REACT



Just days after Heavy D passed away, hip-hop almost endured the loss of another legend. According to DJ Scratch, MC/producer Erick Sermon suffered a heart attack earlier today--though he said Sermon is recovering. "Erick Sermon had a heart attack today," Scratch wrote. "He's ok, but still send your prayers." DJ Scratch was a long-time DJ and producer for seminal hip-hop duo EPMD, which consisted of Sermon and Parrish "PMD" Smith.

Kim Wingate, a close friend of Sermon and owner of justshuddup.com, said that she talked to the rapper. He nearly died. "On the heals of suffering the loss of Heavy D, we almost lost another HipHop Legend last night. Erick Sermon is in the hospital after suffering a heart attack last night. I just got off the phone with E and he said the doctor told him his blood pressure was so high he was minutes from death. He wanted me to let everyone know he's okay." (All Hip Hop)
