The cause of Magoo's death yesterday at age 50 is still a mystery.
Magoo is known to Hip Hop fans for his partnership with his fellow Virginian Timbaland.
Around the turn of the century, Timbaland and Magoo released three albums and had a few hit singles, the most prominent being "Up Jumps da Boogie."
This morning, Tim paid tribute to his fallen brother.
[Instagram post not found]"This one hits different 🥲🥲🥲 long live Melvin aka magoo !!!💔💔💔 Tim and Magoo forever 🕊️🕊️🕊️ rest easy my kin," he typed.
Missy Elliott also said goodbye.
