Shawn "Mic Lord" Austin, a personality on Hip-Hop station 103 Jamz, died from unknown causes, according to local reports.

Austin was widely known as one-half of the Boodah Brothers, a humorous on-air team at the Virginia radio station.

Those that knew and appreciated Austin were in mourning.

"His given name was Shawn Austin but we all knew him as Mic Lord. He's a fun loving guy that was always trying to bring fun to any situation. He had a big laugh and raspy voice so you knew him right away," said 103 Jamz Urban Programming Director Eric Mychaels to WAVY Channel 10 of Virginia.

Austin, a New Jersey native, became a part of the Boodah Brothers morning show in 2004 for his ability to tell jokes and his rapping skills.
