Derek B dies of a heart attack
Reports that Derek B has died of a heart attack at the age of 44 have appeared online.
If this is true we will miss the “Bad Young Brother” - one of the first UK rappers to achieve mainstream success, paving the way for the likes of Roots Manuva and Plan B. He will proabbly be best remembered for the novelty football song “The Anfield Rap”, which, complete with John Barnes first ever rap, is probably the best football song ever recorded.
RIP Derek B.
