 Remembering No. 1 Sowido Boy Prokid While 2018 has been filled with ups and downs, death has not been kind this year. The entire hip-hop industry was plunged into deep sadness when news of Prokid's death emerged on August 9. Prokid was found dead at the flat of his side chicks after he suffered a reported seizure. Those close to the hip-hop veteran hailed his contribution to the industry and his love for Sowido. Even though in recent years Prokid wasn't completely in the spotlight, his legacy lives on through his music and the role he played in the lives of other musicians. Prokid's close friend Zachwy told Chwissa Eliwee that the star was going though a depression of some sort over the lack of gigs. Zachwy also opened up about the major role Prokid played in helping his career. We lost a brother. I lost a big brother. He was more than an emcee that I looked up to. He was my mentor. Everything I do now is based on what he taught me.
