Heavy D, aka Mr. Big Stuff, the Overweight Lover has joined 'Pac, Biggy, Jam Master Jay, Big Pun, Left-Eye, and Aalyiah in Hip-Hop Heaven.
A sad day as another great young talent that blessed us with his lyricism, heart, humility and humor has been called home.
I most recently saw Heav' on the Hip-Hop Awards as he closed the show, in my opinion the best on-stage performance of the night. It seemed like the audience wasn't as hyped for him as I was to see him perform with such agility at our shared age of 44. Maybe they were worn out by the previous performances.
I'm fortunate to have enjoyed his musical genius as it blossomed before us. Say a prayer for his family and praise God for the talent this young Black musical entrepreneur was gifted with.
