The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation released a statement on the Los Angeles rapper, saying he was found unresponsive on April 25 with "injuries consistent with a homicide."

Officials said he was treated and pronounced dead at 10pm PDT. They said they were investigating his death "as a homicide." An official cause of death was not released. Officials said a coroner will determine his cause of death.

Suede had been in and out of jail for several years, but that never stopped him from pursuing his dreams.

“I recorded [Parkside Baby] ever since I came out of jail,” he once said, via AllHipHop.

“Just by coming out of jail, I was really motivated. My mindset was: I gotta go hard for me. That was last May. Being out of jail, just trying to make the best music I could make. It all came together.”

While some might look down on prison time, Suede used it as a learning experience, saying: "It’s crazy. I could say a lot, but one thing I could for sure say on top of my head right now is I learned patience. I learned how to appreciate things more, like family and the little things.”

More information about his death is expected to be announced at a later date.

On his Instagram stories, a comment stated: "We appreciate the condolences, our family has not set a gofundme, dont' fall for any scams, thank you!"
