Rahem Brown better known by his stage name Tame One was an American hip-hop recording artist from New Jersey. Let’s find out what happened to him and what was Tame One cause of death.
What happened to Rahem Brown?
Never does it get simpler than this. Music fans having a hard time accepting the loss of another rap talent today.
Heart failure claimed the life of Tame One (real name Rahem Brown), one-half of the renowned New Jersey rap duo Artifacts, and a skilled solo artist. He passed away this past weekend.
The following statement was made on social media by his mother, also known as Ma Dukes in the hip-hop world.
“The medical examiner says the six pharmaceutical drugs that Trinitas hospital prescribed to him last Friday, combined with the weed he smoked over this weekend…his heart simply gave out. I will not be responding to all the posts for a bit, but the hardest words I will ever post or say is, my son, my heart, is dead.”
It would be an enormous understatement to argue that the medical profession has failed in this situation. Since it’s not our business nor yours, we have no idea what meds the hospital gave him or why, but we also have no idea why they would prescribe him such potent drugs without first finding out what other prescriptions he was taking or how they may combine.
Tame One cause of death
Tame One was the most well-known rapper in the world. The sudden news of his passing certainly tears the hearts of his admirers.
Also, the exact cause of death is not yet established. According to the information above, which was gleaned from his mother’s testimony, it is reasonable to assume that Tame One’s cause of death was a heart attack.
One more post from Henneth’s official Facebook page shared what happened to Tame, the message reads,

Musical Journey of Tame One
American hip-hop recording artist Rahem Brown, better known by his stage name Tame One, was born and raised in New Jersey. He passed away on November 5, 2022.
He was a part of the hip-hop supergroup The Weathermen, Leak Bros, and Artifacts. Between a Rock and a Hard Place, the “graffiti-honoring debut” album by Tame One and El Da Sensei, was published in 1994. That’s Them, the follow-up album, was released in 1997.
Tame One has released two albums with the Artifacts, six solo records, three mixtapes, and three albums in collaboration with other artists: one with Del The Funky Homosapien (Parallel Uni-verses), one with former labelmate Cage as Leak Bros (Waterworld), and The Revolution album with Dro Pesci and Nick Jackson.
Aesop Rock, El-P, DJ Mr. Len, Breeze Brewin, Travis McCoy, Vast Aire, Yak Ballz, Hussein Fatal, Mos Def, Dro Pesci, Big Daddy Rap Beast, and KRS-One are just a few of the musicians with whom he has collaborated.
When Cage and El-P founded the underground supergroup the Weathermen in 2002, he joined them. That same year, he also released his first solo album and EC debut, When Rappers Attack. O.G. Bobby Johnson, his second solo album, was released in 2005.
He collaborated with the Dusted Dons on his subsequent album, Slow Suicide Stimulus, which was released the following year.
The music video for Tame One’s single “Anxiety Attacks,” which was directed by Derek Pike, was released in July 2009. Hip-hop is credited with creating the first song about “Molly” (MDMA, the active ingredient in Ecstasy).
Tame then met producer Nick Jackson and rapper Dro Pesci from Staten Island. Together, they produced the album “The Revolution,” which has not yet been released.
Additionally, he made a brand-new EP titled “Hell or High Water” available for free download at slangcorp.com, which was produced by DJ Junkwaffel. Together with El Da Sensei and DJKaos 1200, Brown was working on a 2014 reunion Artifacts record while also promoting his Boom Skwad Recordings solo mix CD “Skwadzilla.”
Medico Topics would like to share a few films from his career that highlight his talent as an emcee and the reverence he had for all areas of hip-hop culture, especially graffiti. Rest in Peace Tame!
