The NYC medical examiner will perform an autopsy to determine his cause and manner of death.
Sidney worked with some of the biggest names in music, such as Drake, Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Action Bronson, Fabolous, Memphis Bleek and Redman.
In more recent years, Sidney worked at Ethyl's Bar & Restaurant, who remembered him as "a DJ who could get our Dance floor jumping" and encouraged fans to listen to Ludacris' "Tell It Like It Is," which Sidney helped write and produce.
He was 49.
RIP.
