R.I.P.: Chicago DJ Timbuck2 Dead At 34

DJ Timbuck2, a fixture in the Chicago hip-hop scene and most widely known for his daily 5 p.m. set on WGCI, passed away Saturday from cancer at age 34, according to WGCI 107.5 FM.

"Timbuck2 was a premier turntable technician. His creativity and ear for music was unparalleled," said WGCI program director Derrick Brown, in a statement on WGCI's website.

"Tim loved Chicago and was an ambassador around the world for our music. He leaves a huge void that will be extremely difficult to fill."

According to his Facebook page, DJ Timbuck2, born Timothy Jones, began DJing at the age of 12 with another Chicago DJ The Twilite Tone. He joined WGCI in 2004 as their youngest mix show DJ and on-air personality.

His Facebook states that he has toured with Kanye West and worked with P. Diddy, Jay-Z, Common, and many more.
