Ol' Dirty Bastard

Russell Tyrone Jones (November 15, 1968 – November 13, 2004), professionally known as '''Ol' Dirty Bastard (often abbreviated as ODB'''), was an American rapper. He was one of the founding members of the New York rap group Wu-Tang Clan, which formed in 1992. Jones also released music as a solo artist beginning with ''Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version'' (1995). He was noted for his "outrageously profane, free-associative rhymes delivered in a distinctive half-rapped, half-sung style".

His professional success was hampered by frequent legal troubles, including incarceration. He died on November 13, 2004, of an accidental drug overdose, at age 35. He is the father of rapper Young Dirty Bastard. Provided by Wikipedia
