Mr. Chicken who was one of the founding members of the Dutty Cup Crew has died. 

Music News understands that DJ Chicken died at UWI hospital on Monday, April 27. The cause of his death is not yet known.

Chicken, along with Sean Paul before he was a chart-topping artist, was a part of the Dutty Cup Crew that was established in 1994, alongside Uncle Mucks (formerly Kid Kurup), Mossy Kid, Looga Man, Daddigon, and Froggy.

Uncle Mucks remembers Mr. Chicken as someone who was always in high spirits.

It wasn’t until 1998 that Mr. Chicken made his mark after he garnered solo success with “Speak Up.” Chicken later moved on from Renaissance to work with other producers before settling into work on his own in 2006.

At the time of his death, DJ Chicken was working with Q45. Artist manager and producer Q45 tells Music News that Henry Dyer, better known as DJ Chicken was honest, trustworthy, and loyal.

He was 47-years old.
