Sear’s demise news was broken on March 11 via Instagram in a joint post of Shade 45 page with his personal account.

The media personality's cause of death was not revealed.

The death news read, "He was more than a voice on the radio — he was a force, a friend, and family to so many of us, Lord Sear’s legacy in hip hop runs deep. A proud member of the CM family, he first made his mark along side hip-hop artist Kurious, before going on to the legendary Stretch and Bobbito show, touring the world on Eminem’s Anger Management Tour, and spending over 20 years as a cornerstone of the Shade 45 family — he helped shape the culture at every level."
