Veteran Houston rapper Big Pokey (aka Melvin Powell) died Saturday night shortly after collapsing on stage during a Beaumont, Texas performance.

He was 45 and the cause of death has not been determined. Video from the performance shows Big Pokey gasping in mid-lyric, then falling on his back.

A nurse in the crowd administered CPR, and shortly thereafter, he was taken to a hospital just after midnight. He died shortly after.

Big Pokey was seen as a founder of the Houston rap scene with the group Screw up Click. His 1999 solo debut, “The Hardest Pit in the Litter,” brought him to greater attention.

Season 2 (8 x 60′) will further explore the dangerous world of Kings Cross, as Ibrahim expands his empire into the booming queer nightclub scene.
