Things don’t seem to be getting any better in the world of hip hop. There has been more news in recent weeks of jail time and gun play, than there has been of hit records and mega tours. That trend continues, as the son of one of hip hops biggest entreprenuers has been found dead.
Andre Romelle Young Jr., son of rapper/producer “Dr. Dre”, was found dead Saturday in his Woodland Hills, California, home. Young’s mother says she found the 20 year old unresponsive in bed around 10:30am, and that he spent the previous evening with friends.
The cause of death has not yet been determined. An autopsy was performed on Monday, but the actual cause of death will not be announced until toxicology reports have been completed, which could take up to eight weeks.
