His big bro’ is the legendary Guy O’Brien, better known as Master Gee of the Sugar Hill Gang! Don’t they look alike?!!

Master Gee and Lee O’brien definitely made their presence known in the world of entertainment and we salute them both for their gifts to the world. Sadly, Master Gee has lost two brothers in recent times; Lee O’Brien and his musical brother, Big Bank Hank.

Lee O’brien passed away unexpectedly in 2012 at the age of 41. The cause of death was determined to be inconclusive, but Lee’s nephew, Michael O’Syris Timmons, offered more detailed info into his death. Here’s what he said via TheLastDragonTribute.com:

Official Toxicology reports were inconclusive but Michael feels differently he told me ”a guy we know named Travis shot him 3 times in 2011. The doctors sewed him up but they didn’t sew him up properly, so he died in his sleep from the bullet wound injuries and the improper way the doctors stitched him up. After he came home from the hospital he would always say how much his insides hurt, and his hand would go numb all the time. We believe its medical malpractice… whatever they did to supposedly fix the bullet wounds they did not do right…. somehow his insides shut down and he died in his sleep. He had a private funeral in Inglewood, New Jersey where he was born. He was cremated. In the casket he had on a blue suit and his dread locks were nicely done. I Miss him a lot.”

As we all have heard by now, Big Bank passed away on November 11, 2014 from kidney complications due to cancer. May they both rest well. If you’re a fan of “The Last Dragon”, check out the fan website here!
