Cleetis Mack, a member of the legendary hip-hop group Digital Underground, has died. A representative for the group confirmed the news, saying his death \u201cleaves a void in our Digital Underground family and in our hearts that can never truly be filled.\u201d No cause of death has been disclosed. In a genre that often measures greatness by platinum plaques and chart positions, Mack \u2014 known to his crew and his fans simply as \u201cClee\u201d \u2014 represented something rarer and more enduring: the soul of a movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Mack\u2019s real name was Cleveland Askew. He was not a founding member of the Oakland collective, but when he arrived, he became family. Mack joined the group in 1993, six years after Digital Underground was founded in Oakland, California by Shock G (Gregory Jacobs), Chopmaster J (Jimi Dright), and Kenny-K (Kenneth Waters). By that point, Digital Underground had already flipped hip-hop on its head with the genre-defying absurdity and Parliament-Funkadelic soul of \u201cThe Humpty Dance,\u201d and the collective was evolving into something far larger than any single record.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">His arrival coincided with one of the most significant chapters in hip-hop history. Mack joined the group around the time of The Body-Hat Syndrome in 1993, alongside fellow rapper Saafir. He got to rap with Tupac on the single \u201cWussup Wit the Luv,\u201d which marked the last time Tupac would make public appearances with the crew he came up with. That track was more than a collaboration \u2014 it was a passing of the torch, a cultural handoff that would set the stage for Tupac Shakur\u2019s historic solo ascent. Clee was right there when it happened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The group\u2019s statement to TMZ captured not just the magnitude of the loss but the texture of who Cleetis Mack was in those spaces that cameras never reach. Digital Underground confirmed that Mack was \u201cmore than a part of the movement \u2014 he was part of the soul behind it, bringing warmth, loyalty, and quiet strength to everyone around him.\u201d In an industry where egos are currency and flash is the default language, those words land with uncommon weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The group, which now only consists of Money-B and Young Hump, is still active on social media and has not publicly addressed Mack\u2019s sudden death in a broader statement. The silence from the platform is telling \u2014 some losses take time to put into words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This passing marks the second major blow to the Digital Underground family in recent years. The collective had already experienced tragedy when founding member Shock G died unexpectedly in April 2021 from an accidental overdose. Shock G \u2014 born Gregory Jacobs and immortalized as Humpty Hump \u2014 was 57. Together, the deaths of Shock G and now Clee bookend a period of profound grief for a group that spent decades bringing joy, funk, and fire to the culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What Cleetis Mack\u2019s full discography, full biography, and full legacy look like beyond his work with Digital Underground remains largely undocumented in mainstream outlets \u2014 and that itself is part of the story. Hip-hop has always had its saints in the shadows: the members who didn\u2019t get the solo deals, didn\u2019t do the magazine covers, but who showed up every day and built something that millions of people carry with them. Clee was one of those men.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<a title=\"Hip-Hop hats, buckets, snapbacks, beanies.\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64516 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hip-hop-hats.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64516 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hip-hop-hats.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The hip-hop community \u2014 from the Bay Area streets that shaped him to the digital corridors where his music still circulates \u2014 is mourning.
