Legendary West Coast DJ Crazy Toones Passes Away

West Coast veteran DJ Crazy Toones has passed away. He got his start with his brother WC and Coolio in WC & The Maad Circle in the early-to-mid ’90s. He was only 45 and although there are no official word of a cause of death, but journalist/publicist Chad Kiser told Ambrosia For Heads that they believed he died of a heart attack.

The talented Los Angeles-based turntablist recently worked as Ice Cube’s official tour DJ, but over the course of his 30 year career, Toones had his able hands on countless West Coast productions, including WC & The Maad Circle “West up!” He also worked extensively with other West Coast OGs such as Kurupt, MC Ren, Xzibit, Young Maylay, and of course, Cube.
