Parker a.k.a. The Gift of Gab,\u201d Quantum&#8217;s statement reads. \u201cTim peacefully departed this earth to be with our ancestors on Friday, June 18, 2021. He is survived by two brothers, one sister, many nieces and nephews, countless friends, and fans across the globe. We ask that the family\u2019s privacy is respected as we mourn the tremendous loss of our dear brother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            Parker formed Blackalicious with Chief Xcel in Sacramento, California, and the group shared their first music in 1994. The duo went on to release four studio albums including the acclaimed projects <i>Blazing Arrow<\/i> and <i>The Craft<\/i>. As Gift of Gab, Parker shared three solo albums and formed two supergroups with Chief Xcel under the Blackalicious banner: Quannum MCs with DJ Shadow, Lateef the Truth Speaker &amp; Lyrics Born, and The Mighty Underdogs with Lateef the Truth Speaker &amp; Headnodic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            After his kidney failure diagnosis in 2014, Parker continued to tour and record, and obtained a kidney transplant in 2020. The statement announcing his passing says Parker recorded &#8220;nearly 100 tracks for future Blackalicious releases,&#8221; and promises that &#8220;more of Gab\u2019s lyrical genius will be heard for years to come.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Jordan Darville<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
