The cause of his death is not known at this time.
Phife, real name Malik Isaac Taylor, released 5 albums with fellow group members, Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad. In 2000 the rapper dropped his only solo disc titled "Ventilation: Da LP."
Fellow artists paid tribute to him via social media.

Confirmed. rest in peace Phife. Man. I'm out.
— Statik Selektah (@StatikSelekt) March 23, 2016
Rest in peace Phife.
**UPDATE**
The family of Phife Dawg have released a statement confirming that he passed away from diabetes. In 2008, he had a kidney transplant after renal failure due to diabetes complications.
Five years later, Phife, was back on dialysis, according to Diabetes Forecast.
“I haven’t really spoken about being on dialysis again and needing another kidney,” he said during a 2013 interview with Diabetes Forecast. “It’s a strain on me as far as going where I want to go, doing what I want to do. When I was on dialysis the first time, my stepson was playing basketball… . I couldn’t practice with him. I wanted to go out and run with him and things of that nature, but I didn’t feel good.”
His family issued the following statement on his passing.
“We regret to share the news that on Tuesday March 22nd, 2016, Malik has passed away due to complications resulting from diabetes.
Malik was our loving husband, father, brother and friend. We love him dearly. How he impacted all our lives will never be forgotten. His love for music and sports was only surpassed by his love of God and family.”
Dion Liverpool, his manager, adds, “While I mourn the loss of my best friend and brother, I also will celebrate his incredible life and contribution to many people’s ears across the world. Even with all his success, I have never met a person as humble as he. He taught me that maintaining a positive attitude and outlook can conquer anything. Now my brother is resting in greatness. I’m honored to have crossed paths with him. Riddim Kidz 4eva.”
The family asks that their privacy be respected at this difficult time.

“Today, we lost one of the pioneers in hip-hop today by the name of Phife Dawg, ya’ll,” he said, while fans chanted the late great’s name with phones and lighters in the air. “We’re gonna give it up to him for allowing me to do what I’m doing on this stage right here, right now, today.”

2 Chainz’ headlining performance at The FADER FORT Presented By Converse was tragically cut off by thunderstorms this past Friday. But ahead of his scheduled set, he got to hang out backstage with fellow FADER cover alum Kehlani. They shared a joint of kush and compared sneakers—serendipitously, he was wearing one red and one blue, and hers had matching red and blue heel loops. Then they talked, about stick and poke tattoos, the pressure of putting out an album dropping a hit mixtape, tooting your own horn, and why 2 Chainz sleeps in his watch.

One of hip hop's bar-for-bar best emcees, Royce Da 5'9, recently chopped it up with Vlad TV. During their chat the subject of ghostwriting came up.
Nickel Nine talked about writing "The Message" for Dr. Dre at 19, learning how to re-write while penning "Tell Me" for Diddy and explained why in his opinion Drake can't be considered on of today's top lyricists.
"It's a newer way of creating," Royce said. "I guess hip hop is evolving slower than other genres. And if this is what it is evolving into ... as a OG I accept it. It's my decision whether I choose to work like that or not. I choose not to work like that. It's a certain fulfillment that I get out of writing myself. But I do understand going out partying. Staying in tune with that's going on outside the booth while other people are working in the studio. Then you come back and you A&R the whole shit, produce the whole song. That's still a beast. That's a beastly ass way of working. I just get fulfillment out of writing.
I think automatically the rules have to change a little bit when you talk about ranking these artists. Where they stand as far as best lyricist. You still gotta put 'em in there as best artist. Because you're still a great artist by pulling songs together that way," he continued. "You can't take that away from 'em. But when you're talking about best lyricist ... I guess it comes down to what being a great lyricist means to you. To me a lyricist is a writer. The word lyricist and writing go hand in hand to me. You automatically can't be top tier lyricist if you're not writing everything. I'm not gonna compare you to Rakim. I'll call you the greatest of this era. And I want says that you're better than Rakim, and I won't say that you're better than Kendrick, and I won't say you're better than Cole, as a lyricist."
When asked if having a ghostwriter knocked Drake out of the best lyricist category Royce replied. "it has to, it's only fair."
What do you think about Royce's comments?
