Craig Mack, the rapper who had the first hit on P. Diddy's iconic hip-hop label Bad Boy Records, died on Monday. He was 46.

According to the New York Daily News, the rapper died of heart failure at his Walterboro, South Carolina home. His death was confirmed by Mack's former producer Alvin Toney.

Mack is best known for the indelible classic "Flava in Ya Ear," – a Top 10 hit in 1994 that sold over a million copies – and its subsequent remix featuring Notorious B.I.G, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes and Rampage. "Craig is hip-hop's George Clinton, because his stuff is really off the wall," Diddy once told The New York Times. "He does what's from his heart, which is where it starts for him. But his energy comes from somewhere else."
