Thania Garcia Melvin “Magoo” Barcliff, best known for his contributions to hip-hop as one-half of Timbaland and Magoo, has died.

The Virginia Chief Medical Examiner confirmed the news on Monday though the cause of death has not yet been revealed. He was 50 years old.

After meeting as teenagers in Norfolk, Virginia, Timbaland and Magoo established themselves as a musical duo in 1998. Timbaland had yet to release his own album and at the time, Magoo only had experience covering songs by Ralph Tresvant and New Edition in talent shows.

After teaming up, the pair went on to release three full-length albums and were among the first artists to establish a hip-hop network in Virginia.
