Obituaries: Toronto Battle Rap Star Bishop Brigante, Folk Music Luminary Don Bird

We also acknowledge the passing of Gang of Four and Shriekback bassist Dave Allen and freak folk favourite Michael Hurley.

Bishop Brigante (born Nickolas Parra), a Toronto battle rapper who had a huge impact on the city’s hip-hop scene, died on March 30, of colorectal cancer, at age 46.

Since being diagnosed with cancer in Oct. 2023, Brigante became a strong advocate for the lowering of the minimum age for colonoscopy screening from 50 to 30. He organized a campaign urging the Ontario government to make the change, and a petition to that effect has received 40k signatures.
