Syke, whose real name is Tyruss Himes, performed on some of Tupac’s biggest hits. He was found dead in his Hawthorne, CA home Monday. A cause of death has not yet been determined although foul play is not suspected.

Syke was a longtime friend of Tupac, and dropped verses on a bunch of his tracks, such as “All Eyez on Me,” “Picture Me Rollin'” and “Check Out Time.” He was also a member of Tupac’s Thug Life group. Syke was found dead at his home in Hawthorne, CA late Monday night. Law enforcement sources tell us cops responded first to a call to the scene, and then the L.A. County Coroner arrived. h/t tmz

Sources close to the situation say Syke is believed to have died from natural causes. Sources say he had a history of heart issues and obesity.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Syke’s family and friends at this difficult time.
