His first television appearance can be seen in the Aaliyah video "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number".

In 2000, Proof toured along with Eminem, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg in the Up In Smoke Tour as a backup rapper for Eminem. He rose to prominence in 2001 with the release of Devil's Night, D12's debut album with Interscope Records. The following year, Proof collaborated with Dogmatic on Promatic and joined Eminem's "Anger Management" tour in support of the release. He also appeared in Eminem's semi-autobiographical film 8 Mile; although in the film the character based on him, Future, was portrayed by Mekhi Phifer, he appeared as Lil' Tic, a freestyle rapper who trounces the lead character with his battle verse.
On April 11, 2006, Proof was killed by a gunshot wound to the head at the CCC Club by Mario Etheridge on 8 Mile Road in Detroit, Michigan after fatally shooting U.S. military veteran Keith Bender Jr.
Proof was buried on April 19 at Woodlawn Cemetery, in Detroit to a full house of 2,000 with thousands mourning outside. Eminem and Obie Trice read eulogies at the service.

Proof Lyrics
Big Proof
Rest in peace dudey, we love you
We just wanna keep makin' you proud, heh
(Proof) my life is trapped in these lines
That's why I'm packin' these nines
I gotta rap, I ain't dyin'
That's in the back of my mind
Got a strap made of iron
Can't relax on this grind
Bendin' over backwards for these slackers
'Til I'm snappin' my spine
Natural high, I gotta focus (focus)
On these bogus poachers
Lookin' over my shoulder
Proof get it poppin' like soda, hold up
(We nothin' but soldiers) slow up
(This gun is loaded) roll up
They beef and we leavin' 'em coked up
If Em say it, I spray it
If he will it, I kill it
We kilpatrick and Ilitch of Detroit, y'all can feel it
Real as this gun on my waistline
At war we don't waste time (woo)
Lord, man, he can't take a punch
And Fifty can take nine (blaow)
We got school crap here at the 7, 8, and Dexter
I'm up in Hollis spendin' dollars, ain't feelin' no pressure
Yes sir, your texture is bitch, betcha you flinch
When Proof shoot up that coup and wet your whole clique

Just throwing this out there into the ether: Proof isn't forgotten. There are thousands of people like me who come back to proof's songs and comment nothing. What is there to say? Nothing, except to say he lives on through us, never doubt it.

@Bombay Jay I wasn't far off lol.
Ja did take a punch from 50 thought. Apparently Ja wore sunglasses because he didn't want people seeing his black eye.
