The hip hop community is mourning the loss of Toronto rapper Bishop Brigante, 46, who died from colorectal cancer on Sunday.
A longtime recording artist, Brigante had several hit songs — including a 2007 collaboration with Nate Dogg “Its Fo Twenty,” and the 2018 single “Trust Nobody” — and is widely considered a cornerstone of Canadian battle rap. Brigante was also an actor: he appeared in the sci-fi television series “Orphan Black” and in the 2002 crime thriller “Narc” alongside Ray Liotta.
