RIP Heavy D

It's a sad day in Hip Hop today. According to TMZ, rapper and producer Heavy "The Overweight Lover" D passed this morning. He was just on stage at the BET Hip Hop Awards not long ago. The story is still developing so more details will be given later.

With hits like "Now That We Found Love", "Is It Good To You", "Nuttin But Love" and my personal fav "We Got Our Own Thang" the handsome, talented and charasmatic rapper along with the Boyz, rose to fame and became a legend by mixing smooth R&B vocals with his diddly diddly diddly rhymes. He was only 44. RIP.
