Anthony Leonard Platt, also known as DJ Unk, has died at age 43, according to reports from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Rolling Stone. The Atlanta rapper was best known for the hits "Walk It Out" and "2 Step." The cause of death has not been revealed. His death was first reported Friday and confirmed by his wife, Sherkita Long-Platt, who posted on Facebook: “Please respect me and my family. I just lost my husband, and my kids just lost their father. Our lives will never be the same. I LOVE YOU, ANTHONY FOREVER.” Platt had previously been open about previous health issues. Platt described his recuperation from a heart attack the year before in a 2010 XXL magazine feature that recorded his health issues. "I had some medical issues going on from not eating the right food, and that just came from when I stopped taking care of myself. I got to get healthy not just for my sake but also for my kids and for my wife," Platt told XXL. He continued: "It comes from not exercising, from not eating right. Basically, man, I work hard every day. Everything I do every day I try to make something happen in my household. I constantly be on the go; I constantly be on airplanes, in different weather, and you know it just took a toll on me. It was stress."
