HEAVY D

It’s funny how rumours turn to panic turn to ‘fact’ in a matter of minutes. Heavy D was only tweeting a few hours ago, and now news filters through of his passing in an accident. God speed and thoughts to his family.

 

Rolling Stone: Heavy D, the former leader of the hip-hop group Heavy D and the Boyz, has died at the age of 44. The rapper was rushed to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this afternoon and was pronounced dead at 1 p.m. PT. Police are investigating his death but there are no signs of foul play.

Heavy D, born Dwight Arrington Myers, broke into the music industry with Living Large, his first record with the Boyz, in 1987. He went on to even greater success with the hit “Now That We Found Love” in 1991, and recorded theme songs for the television series In Loving Color and MADtv. In recent years, D recorded a series of reggae fusion albums.
