5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy Vibes!!!, December 18, 2008

By	John Maisonet - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Finally, the long-awaited reggae CD from the Bum-Diddlee-D and it doesn't disappoint! This is true reggae not that americanized Dancehall! This CD is a throwback to the days of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Jimmy Cliff! Heavy is from the Islands so he is not fakin' Jamaican! He's singing through the entire CD and is doing a very good job. From start to finish the Cd is banging! My favorites are: Queen Majesty and My Love Is All I Have. A true reggae classic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy D Returning To His Roots!, May 30, 2009

Many people don't know that Heavy D is actually Jamaican. His family like many West Indians relocated to the East Coast.

I enjoyed Heavy D's rapping. But, THIS Cd "Vibes" is his BEST effort to date in my opnion. From beginning to end, the disc just produces tracks that make you feel, move and react.There is a certain pride one feels when listening to Caribbean music.

"Long Distance Girlfriend" is a great, great track, along with "Queen Majesty" and "No Matter What." Heavy D has just as smooth a singing voice as his rapping was many years ago. He gives us a gentle Jamaican tinged accent when singing. I LOVE this Cd! Whenever it plays in my house, it's on repeat. Kudos to Heavy D. Can't wait for his next Reggae Cd. Big Ups to this Caribbean King!

I have always been a huge fan of Heavy D (and the Boyz). I was impressed by this album. He really shows his roots here. This is a great reggae album. I don't know why it took him so long to make it, but I'm very glad he did!
