A great legend of our
time Heavy D has left his family and fans today.

Born Dwight Arrington Myers (May 24, 1967 – November 8, 2011) in Jamaica
his family relocated to Mt. Vernon, NY when he was a young child. Better known
as Heavy D, was a Jamaican American actor, rapper, record producer,
singer and former leader of Heavy D & the Boyz, a hip hop group
which included G-Whiz (Glen Parrish), “Trouble” T. Roy (Troy Dixon),
and Eddie F (born Edward Ferrell). The group maintained a sizable audience in
the United States through most of the 1990s. He had recently ventured into
reggae music and was being described as a reggae fusion artist.

Heavy D & the Boyz were the first group signed
to Uptown Records; their debut, Living Large, was released in 1987. The
album was a commercial success, though Big Tyme was a breakthrough that
included four hits. Heavy D & the Boyz gained even more fame by singing the
theme song for the television program
In Living Color
and also MADtv, and Heavy D performed the rap on the late Michael Jackson’s hit single “Jam” as well as sister Janet Jackson’s
hit single “Alright”. Heavy D then began focusing
on his acting, appearing in the television shows A
Different World, Roc and Living Single before returning the music
charts with Nuttin’ But Love.
Heavy D was referred to in the song “Juicy”
by the Notorious B.I.G.
and in “Da Girls They Love Me” by underground rapper R.A. the Rugged Man.

hip-hop has lost a pioneer. His loss is felt, but never forgotten.
