David Jude Jolicoeur, known widely as Trugoy the Dove and one of the founding members of hip hop trio De La Soul, has died. He was 54.
Cheo Hodari Coker wrote on Twitter
that, “You don’t understand what De La Soul means to me. Their existence said to me, a black geek from Connecticut that yes, hip-hop belongs to you too, and Trugoy was the balance, McCartney to Pos Lennon, Keith to his Mick. This is a huge loss.” Jolicoeur was born in Brooklyn but raised in the Amityville area of Long Island, where he met Vincent Mason and Kelvin Mercer and the three decided to form a rap group, with each taking on distinctive names. Trugoy, Jolicoeur said, was backwards for “yogurt.” More recently he’d been going by Dave., produced by Prince Paul, was released in 1989 by Tommy Boy Records and praised for being a more light-hearted and positive counterpart to more charged rap offerings like N.W.
