2 Live Crew Member Brother Marquis Dead at 58

Brother Marquis -- a longtime member of 2 Live Crew -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

The rapper passed away Monday -- this according to the group's official social media accounts ... which noted he "went to the upper room." 2LC's manager confirmed his death to us, but didn't have any further details on the cause or manner.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ however that the death appears to be natural, and there isn't foul play suspected.

While Marquis -- who was born as Mark Ross -- wasn't a founding member of the iconic rap group, he certainly helped cement it as the juggernaut act they became in the '80s and '90s of hip hop ... joining the likes of DJ Mr. Mixx, Fresh Kid Ice and Luke Skyywalker in the '86.
