My heart is broken again. Such an inspiration, such a legend. I loved UTFO, loved Whistle Loved Full Force and the Full Force Family. Kangol and FF was that bridge between rap and hiphop soul and Kangol always had his unique sound that just stood out. Something sorely missing in music today. Peaceful Journey brotha Kangol Kid, I got all your albums and never parting with a one!
You were Truly blessed in life to have heard his music in real time. R.I.P.
Rest In Peace

Hip-Hop Legend Kangol Kid From UTFO, 55, Loses Battle With Colon Cancer
Kangol Kid, who emerged as one of Hip-Hop's earliest stars as a member of 80s rap group UTFO, has succumbed to a well-documented battle with colon cancer.
How did they catch it early, was it by accident or regular check ups or you were having some other problem that lead them to it, If you don’t mind me asking? What symptoms or signs to look for?
Rest in peace.
Dang RIP Kangol!
How was it discovered? Did you have symptoms?
Sad that his daughter won't have her daddy....
RIP
I became anemic, the iron in my blood was low...my hair was falling out...and I was always tired, no pain...no blood in stool. They cut half my colon out...took out my appendix and spleen to be sure it didn't spread. Then 5 years of scoping and blood work. Never needed chemo.....now I go out and encourage other brothas to get checked....some just won't do it until it's too late and cancer spreads...
I was in my early 40s

My doc had me do the cologuard test since I dont have a family history of it. I get blood work done twice a year to monitor whats going on inside too. I just don't want something like this to sneak up on me.
RIP to The Kangol Kid!!...Prayers goes out to his family!!
RIP
