Sam King, the rapper featured on tracks from dubstep stars like Excision, Wooli, Space Laces and Kai Wachi, has died.“Incredibly sad to hear about the passing of Sam King, the voice behind ‘G Shit’ and ‘Death Wish,'” Excision shared in tribute on Instagram.
“His voice brought so much to the music, and I’m grateful we got to work together.” A Las Vegas native, King came up in independent hip-hop under the name SK4MC, pairing high-energy bravado with lyrics about his own triumphs and struggles.He was a raver as much as a rapper, a point he made himself on ‘G Shit,’ where he traced his rave roots back to grade school.
That track and ‘Death Wish’ both appeared on Virus, Excision’s third album, which released a decade ago.King co-wrote both songs, and the latter arrived with an official music video.
He became a go-to collaborator for bass music producers in the time that followed before reconnecting with Excision on ‘Evolution,’ the title track of his and Wooli’s joint EP in 2019.No further details about King’s death have been released at the time of writing.
We at EDM.com send our sincerest condolences to the artist’s family, friends and loved ones during this difficult time....
