Bushwick Bill from legendary rap group Geto Boys has revealed he has stage four pancreatic cancer.

In an exclusive video posted on TMZ, the Geto Boys rapper revealed he had been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer.

The two-minute clip also sees Bushwick Bill reveal the reason why he's working on three albums, "The reason why I’m doing three albums right now: Because I notice when most celebrities pass, they really don’t have nothing set up for they children, and everything’s in disarray. So I figure old music will sell, yes. But if I have new music for them, and I have a book, and I have a documentary, and I have any other endeavors that I get into now, at least they’ll have residual income from those things instead of just knowing that I’m their dad and my old records are selling. That publishing belongs to somebody else. I’d rather know for sure that I did my part."

Geto Boys have released hip hop hits including "Mind Playing Tricks on Me", and "Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta". Bushwick Bill even collaborated with Dr. Dre on The Chronic album track, "Stranded On Death Row".
