MC A.D.O.R. has Unfortunately Passed Away
A.D.O.R., an emcee hailing from Manhattan’s Washington Heights, has unfortunately passed away. He was best known for his 1992 Pete Rock-produced hit single, “Let It All Hang Out.” Born Eddie M. Castellanos, A.D.O.R. was brought up in a musical family, and would often accompany his father on late-night studio sessions. After moving to Mt. Vernon, NY, he connected with many important musical figures, including Chuck D, Puffy, Al B. Sure!, and Pete Rock.
A.D.O.R. eventually signed to Atlantic Records, and released his debut single, “Let It All Hang Out,” in 1992, which was followed by the Marley Marl-produced “One For The Trouble” in 1994. Even though his debut album, “The Concrete,” was ultimately shelved by Atlantic, he would go on to found Tru Reign Records, and release “Shock Frequency” in 1998. A.D.O.R (short for Another Dimension Of Rhythm) released a total of 4 full-length albums during his career.
The news of his passing was shared by Pete Rock, who posted a heartfelt message on his social media.
May he rest in peace.
