Chucky Thompson—the hip-hop, R&B, and pop producer best known for his work with Bad Boy Records—has died, AllHipHop and Billboard report. He was 53 years old. As a member of Bad Boy’s in-house production team the Hitmen, he was responsible for some of ’90s hip-hop and R&B’s biggest hits, including the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Big Poppa” and Faith Evans’ “You Used to Love Me.” As we all know, Chucky's roots are in the DC Go-Go scene, most notably as a conga player for the late great Godfather of Go-Go! Rest in Peace!
