Jolicoeur co-founded the legendary Trio - alongside Posdnuos (Kelvin Mercer ) and Maseo (Vincent Lamont Mason Jr).
The Group changed The Face of hip-hop in the late 80s and early 90s, and was honoured At Last week's Grammy Awards in Los Angeles during a tribute to the genre.
Writing on Twitter, B Real - a rapper with the hip-hop group Cypress Hill - described Jolicoeur as a " legend of Hip Hop music and culture".
" His music will allow him To Live in our hearts and minds, " he wrote. " But not only was he a great musician but he was a great human being. He meant a lot to us. "
Last month, The Group 's Classic Albums were made available for streaming online.
