Shock G has been laid to rest.

On Saturday afternoon, friends and family of the rapper and producer, born Gregory Jacobs, gathered together to say their final goodbyes at an intimate funeral held at the Allen Temple A.M.E. Church in Tampa, Florida. The service was streamed live on the church's website.

"His legacy was how he loved people unconditionally," Reverend Doctor Alesia Ford-Burse said of the musician at the service. "He loved to a default."

Among the guests in attendance at the intimate ceremony were Busta Rhymes, Jermaine Dupri, and CeeLo Green, according to WFLA 8. TMZ also reported that his hip-hop group, Digital Underground — which Jacobs was a co-founder of — would be present for the service.

Jacobs was found dead on April 22 at the age of 57.

We truly, truly appreciate all the out-pouring of love and concern. Please keep us in your prayers at this very difficult time."

Jacobs started Digital Underground with Chopmaster J and the late Kenny-K in the 1987 after relocating from the East Coast to Oakland, California.

The group's early singles included "Underwater Rimes" and "Doowutchyalike," which featured the first appearance of Jacobs' alter persona, Humpty Hump. In 1990, Digital Underground released their debut studio album, Sex Packets.

The album's second single, "The Humpty Dance," found huge commercial success, reaching No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song's music video also featured a young Tupac Shakur, who would go on to make his recording debut on Digital Underground's 1991 single "Same Song."
