Big Bank Hank of The Sugarhill Gang has passed away at the age of 57 due to cancer. The rapper had been in the game since the 70’s and had been rapping alongside Master Gee and Wonder Mike for quite some time. The trio lit up the rap game with their track, “Rapper’s Delight,” and really made a name for themselves and hip-hop. RIP Big Bank Hank!
