R.I.P. Ms. Melodie (BDP)

[Bliss]

While not as famous as her ex-husband KRS-One, she was a staple by his side and commanded respect in male-dominated rap. They were great in concert. Rest peacefully, Ms. Melodie ~

Hip-hop has lost another gem. Former Boogie Down Productions emcee, Ms. Melodie has passed away, according to several reports. Her close friend Monifah also confirmed the sad news on Twitter. "RIP Miss Melody," Monifah writes. "Please keep her children, family & loved ones in ur prayers. HipHopRoyalty... A friend of ours told me she went last nite."

Melodie (born Ramona Parker), was once married to BDP frontman KRS-One. She drummed up considerable buzz with her 1988 single, "Hype According To Ms. Melodie," in 1988. She released her only album, Diva, the following year via Jive Records.

Cause of death is unknown at this point.

What was her cause of death??
I didn't even know KRS-ONE was married.:smt012
Sad because I doubt she was even 50 yearsold.

From other reports, they are saying she just died in her sleep.
