It is with a very heavy heart that I can confirm the passing of Chucky Thompson.
To anyone in his orbit, you know how generous he was with his energy, creativity and love.

The many prayers and thanks that the prolific music producer received was well-documented on social media.
I just got word that DC’s legendary music producer, Chucky Thompson has died from COVID complications. He produced everyone from Mary J. Blige, Biggie & Chuck Brown, to Kanye West, Raheem DeVaughn, Craig Mack and Puffy. He was a bad man & a good bro.
My deepest condolences
RIP🙏🏾 https://t.co/LIqTU9Fyw7— Donnie Simpson (@DonnieSimpson) August 9, 2021
