Editorial Reviews

Promo. Known as the "Overweight Lover," Heavy D was also one of hip-hop's original nice guys. The Jamaican-born/New York-raised MC mixed New Jack Swing R&B with old-school skills for an inoffensive, back-in-the-day take on rap. His group, Heavy D & the Boyz, was one of the most popular ensembles of the mid-to-late 1980s, and though, by the dawn of the gangsta rap era, Heavy D's style had fallen somewhat out of fashion, the versatile figure was able to establish himself as both a record industry player at the executive level, and as a reputable film and television actor. He was set to release a new solo album in 2007.
