Houston rap pioneer, Eric "O.G. Style" Woods, passed on late Thursday night (January 3) from a sudden brain aneurysm, according to XXL.

According to the mag's report, the rapper was hospitalized on Wednesday night (January 2). While hospitalized, his began to hemorrhage, and then he later slipped into a coma.

HoustonSoReal reports that while in the coma he flatlined a few times, but his wife kept him on life support, so friends and family could visit him and say their goodbyes.

He was taken off life support later Thursday night, and passed. He was just 37 years old.

O.G. Style began his rap career in 1986, when he first heard one of his songs played on a local college radio station. He later became know as Prince Ezzy-E and formed the group O.G. Style with producer Big Boss. The duo released their debut in 1991 called I Know How To Play 'Em, which spawned the hit single, "Catch 'Em Slippin'."

Big Boss later left the group and the rapper retained the O.G. Style name.

R.I.P. to the Original Easy-E.

I remember my homie, Hop, had Easy E tapes way back in 85-86. He had a unique style. He had a rap beef with Raheem back in the day (4th Ward vs. 5th Ward).

R.I.P. I still sing that song to this day. I never could remember who sang it or what the video look like. I just remember the hook. HOUSTON has been taking hit after hit in they local rap scene.

Damn, RIP, E. OG style was a truly unique and talented rapper. Three albums deep. He was about to re-launch his carreer a couple of years ago with the Return Of Da Game album, produced by Mike B. I remember ordering it from him and he enclosed both an OG style T-shirt and a OG style towel. He's gonna be missed.
