Rapper X1, brother of Onyx member Sticky Fingaz, was found dead in Los Angeles yesterday (July 5).
Details regarding his death are still sketchy but sources close to the rapper claim he committed suicide.
X1 launched his career by appearing on various Onyx albums and his brother's solo projects, (Blacktrash) The Autobiography of Kirk Jones and Decade.
He was briefly signed to boxer Mike Tyson's now defunct record label Tyson Records in 2000, and was presently under contract with Las Vegas based Ball 'R Records, where he released his debut album Young, Rich & Gangsta in 2006.
The set featured collaborations with E-40, Lil Flip, Suga Free and Too Short.
