Dingilizwe Dumile (August 3, 1973 – April 23, 1993), known professionally as DJ Subroc, was an American hip-hop artist and a member of KMD and Constipated Monkeys.
Dumile was born on August 3, 1973, at Nassau County Medical Center in Long Island, and was "raised primarily in Long Beach, NY."[2]
Careeredit
Dumile's first group, KMD was formed by him and his brother Zev Love X, who would later be known as MF DOOM, along with Jade 1, who would later be known as Rodan, but who was eventually replaced by Onyx the Birthstone Kid. Their first release was the LP Mr. Hood, released by Elektra Records, in 1991.
DJ Subroc died on April 23, 1993, after being hit by a motorist while attempting to cross the Nassau Expressway.[4] His death brought production of the KMD album Black Bastards to a halt and marked the end of KMD, although Black Bastards was later released.[citation needed]
Legacyedit
MF DOOM dedicated his 2004 track "Kon Karne" to his late brother with the lyric, "I dedicate this mix to Subroc, the hip-hop Hendrix". DOOM also speaks on his time with his brother on the Operation Doomsday track "?" A Tribe Called Quest shouted out DJ Subroc in their song "8 Million Stories", and the Kurious track "Leave Ya' with This" from the album A Constipated Monkey is also dedicated to him.
