DJ Scratch Says Erick Sermon Suffered Heart Attack, Says He's "Ok"

by SLAVA KUPERSTEIN

BREAKING: Scratch tweeted that Erick Sermon suffered a heart attack today.

DJ Scratch announced on Twitter that Erick Sermon suffered a heart attack earlier today (November 12).

DJ Scratch was a longtime producer and deejay for EPMD, which consisted of Sermon and Parrish "PMD" Smith.

The news comes weeks after Rick Ross suffered two seizures and had to cancel several shows to recover, and days after Hip Hop mourned the loss of Heavy D.
