As of now, Young L's family or representatives have not confirmed the rapper's passing.

"Rest in peace Nephew," Too $hort wrote. "You & The Pack influenced so many artists it’s impossible to measure the impact that you had on the culture. If you know you know. R.I.P. Young Lloyd. I never heard a Young L beat that didn’t SLAP."
