RIP Heavy D

Heavy D’s music takes me right back to my college dancing days at the Cellar at the University of Maryland in College Park.  It also reminds me of my first years working at urban radio stations WPGC in Washington, DC and WBLS in New York City.

I hate that it takes Heavy D’s early passing for me to listen to his songs again.  Heavy D was a rap legend and leader of the popular group, Heavy D & the Boyz.  He was an innovator of music because he clearly knew that the combination of R&B and rap would be successful.  Heavy D has left us way too soon at the age of 44. We wish you a peaceful journey. Here’s my favorite song by Heavy D and the Boyz.
