The young nobleman, the final member added to the iconic rap group of Tupac Shakur, Outlawz, died for suicide at the age of 47.
Born Rufus Lee Cooper III, Noble's death was confirmed by a representative of People magazine, while TMZ reported that the rapper died in Atlanta on Friday, July 4.
The Atlanta Police Department has not yet commented publicly.
The former friend of noble and fellow outlawz, Edi Mean, announced the tragic news on Instagram.
“My brother and my companion over 30 years old took his life this morning. He rests in the young noble power,” he wrote, added: “Mental illness is real. Verify their friends.”
The announcement has caused a lot of pain and taxes throughout the Hip-Hop community.
The rap legend Snoop Dogg, a former seal partner of the records of the death row, replied with a marked reminder: “The damn mental health is real”, sharing the track of the group The Good Die Die Young.
The Music Executive Damien “Big Percy” Roderick also cried the loss, publishing: “Restant homieung_noble … I hope we could change our last call we had. Damn it is.”
The young noble one joined Outlawz in early 1996, only a few months before the death of Tupac. He thought of four tracks on Tupac's posthumous album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, including the iconic “Hail Mary”.
Beyond his work with Outlawz, noble launched several solo projects, including noble justice and son of God. His last publication on social networks on June 22 brought a disturbingly hopeful message:
“You are not reading this by accident. This is your confirmation. You will do it … so wait, be strong and do not give up. You are the next one in the line for your miracle.”
