Sidney Brown, the producer and DJ who worked with the likes of Drake, Beyoncé, and Lil Wayne under the name Omen, has died. Brown was found in his Harlem, New York apartment on Saturday, September 13, by his sister, Nicole Iris Brown. "He was holistic and healthy. So we don't know of him being sick, so this is all pretty sudden," she said in a statement to NBC News. Brown was 49.

Dallas-born artist and Grammy-winning producer Kal Banx has been one of hip-hop's quiet architects for years. His fingerprints stretch across culture: Isaiah Rashad's The House Is Burning, J. Cole's Revenge of the Dreamers III, and records with Baby Keem, SZA, Jorja Smith, Schoolboy Q, SiR, and Denzel Curry. Most recently, he earned a Grammy for his production on Doechii's Alligator Bites Never Heal. Rhythm, Southern bounce, and legacy in motion.
