One half of the rap duo UGK was found dead in a hotel room on the morning of December 4. Homicide detectives are said to be looking into the death of 33-year old Pimp C whose real name was Chad Butler, who was found dead at the Mondrian Hotel. LA County Fire responded to a 911 call at the hotel located on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. They arrived to his sixth floor hotel room to find him dead in bed.

UGK is best known for being featured on the Jay-Z track ‘Big Pimpin’ in 200 and more recently, performed with Outkast on the song ‘International Player’s Anthem (I Choose You)’. Pimp C’s last performance took place at the House of Blues in LA on Saturday night.
