Gylan Kain, a founding member of The Last Poets, has died at the age of 81 in the Netherlands according to a new report.
Jalal Mansur Nuriddin, a member of the vaunted spoken-word collective The Last Poets and considered a Hip-Hop forefather, has died. The “Grandfather of Rap” was not a huge fan of the genre he and his brethren helped spawn, but the culture still fondly remembers the pioneer.
