His wife, Sherkita Long Platt, shared the heartbreaking news on Friday, January 24, via a post on Facebook.
"Please respect me and my family. I just lost my husband, and my kids just lost their father. Our life will never be the same," she wrote in a brief message.
She concluded with, "I LOVE YOU ANTHONY FOREVER," but did not disclose the cause of his death.
DJ Unk, whose real name was Anthony Leonard Platt, rose to fame with "Walk It Out," which was released in 2006 as part of his album Beat’n Down Yo Block!. The song went platinum, reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, and also landed high on the Hot Rap Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.
Though his career faced a setback in 2009 due to undisclosed health issues, Unk continued to release singles and even appeared in the 2K Sports NBA 2K9 video game.
