Ross befriended the group's DJ Mr Mixx when living in California and then joined the Miami-based outfit in 1986. He was present for their biggest hits including 1989's platinum-selling album As Nasty As They Wanna Be.
Ross later said he wasn't comfortable with all the profanity that they were putting into the music, but went along with it due to the positive community reaction.
In 1994, the group won a copyright infringement case over their version of Roy Orbison's Oh, Pretty Woman, with a judge arguing that a parody version of a song constituted a new artistic work.
Ross and Fresh Kid Ice later re-formed as a duo and released new tracks in 2010. Ross expressed pride in the group's ability to overcome censorship and obstacles.
