Derek Keith Barbosa, known in the rap scene as Chino XL, has died, according to his family.

His daughters released a joint statement regarding his death via Instagram:

“Our father had many titles — King of Punchlines, Puerto Rican Superhero — but the most important one was Girl Dad. And what he gave us most in that role was his strength, straightforwardness, and ability to be super realistic. The main thing we are feeling now is that our Dad is at peace, and so we are at peace.”
